How strange. Normally, when Microsoft rustles up some celebrities for an Xbox Live session, they're trendy, pretty young things or American sports stars. Not 77 year-old British formula 1 drivers. Guess you can always break with tradition, though, as Microsoft have announced that between 1200-1400 GMT on June 28 (which by the time you're reading this is very soon), 77 year-old British forumula 1 ace Stirling Moss will be playing some Forza 2 over Xbox Live

A forum thread at Forzamotorsport.net regarding Xbox 360 crashes due to Forza Motorsport 2 has over 895 replies

A certain thread in the Forza Motorsport 2 forums that's already reached a whopping 60 pages, and it's all about the random glitching, crashing and overall just weird behavior of the game while it's being played. While a few bugs and crashes can be chalked up to a careless glitch, there's even a few reports of the game actually causing owners' 360s to contract the all-too-horrifying red ring of death - which means that there's something not quite right with Forza 2. Let's dig a bit deeper to see what the posters are actually going through.

If you've spent any time online with Forza 2 you've probably noticed there's no shortage of tournaments to compete in. But, they're all lacking one thing: real prizes. You can win plenty of in-game cash, but nothing that'll stuff your non-virtual wallet. That's exactly what XLEAGUE.TV is hoping to address with their announcement that they'll now be featuring Forza 2 tournaments with prizes of up to £1,000.

Sorry, Europeans only.

Earlier today a Bruce Lee car hit the Forza Motorsport 2 Auction House. Not long after the car went to 50 million then 100 million then 200 million then 500 million then 800 million then 999 million and finally over 1 billion dollars. The winning bidder oldbomb squad and other presumed cheaters include Earn your keep and NoSurrender I. The Forza community isn't happy at all about this because it shows not only is there a way to cheat but there are people abusing it. For example a normal guy on Forza Motorsport 2 would have around $50K to about $4-5 million but no where even close to $1 billion.

Issue 7 of 360Zine, the free Xbox 360 magazine, is available for download and has an in-depth feature on the Halo 3 beta and what they, and a selection of Halo 3 fans, think of the new game so far.

The issue also includes GTA IV, Project Gotham 4, Devil May Cry 4, Call of Duty 4, Forza 2, Shadowrun and DiRT among others.

It has recently been announced on the Official Forza 2 forum boards that the game contains a slight bug, which appears to be confiscating virtual money from the games auction house. A few gamers have also reported that cars that they've been spending hours on customizing, have been lost whilst "gifting" them over to friends on Xbox Live. If you're experiencing any difficulties, it's perhaps best to hold-off on that transaction you were thinking of making, as the Forza crew states that they are working on a solution as we speak and shall be fixed shortly.

Xbox360fanboy: "We've mentioned more than once that we're damned impressed with all the Forza Motorsport 2 custom cars out there (especially this one), but we're not sure if we'd be willing to actually pay for one. You know, with real money. It looks like custom Forza cars have begun to hit eBay. Honestly, we're surprised we didn't see this coming. So far we've found three different auctions for various cars, all priced at $10. These don't have the meticulous custom paint jobs we've seen, so we're guessing they're tuned more for performance. One seller is even creating his cars with individual numbers, hoping to make them collector's items.

Our question to you: would you pay real money for the ultimate Forza car?"
