You're the one trolling here. We know it will run Forza 3, but if you pay for the full game, and your Arcade unit can't run THE FULL GAME, then you've been played.

THAT is the issue.

Well thats what you get for buying the "tard pack", to steal a term from Shane Bettenhausen.

When creating a great game, you just gotta fuck it over somehow. Seriously, thats real? the arcades ought to be a pretty big chunk out of all of the 360's... stupid decision.

I really don't see another solution, I'm with Night, Arcade owners do can play the game if they wish. Cutting the content of the extra disc would be just worse option, and DLC or even streaming the game would just cause much more problems.
Think like this:

with second disk: HDD owners have the game and extra content,non-HDD owners have just the game

Without second disk:Both HDD owners and no-HDD owners haver the game without the extra content.

You can buy Rock Band 2 for $60. But it would cost you another $100 to experience the game properly that you paid for. You can't run the full game.

Is it an issue?

You can buy Gears 2 and not be able to use the free multiplayer maps because you're not connected to the internet with your console.

Is it an issue?

So if Turn 10 didnt have that 2nd disc, everyone would still be asked to pay $60 and the people with the HDD would miss out on the extra content. If the disc exists then the people with no HDD are no worse off than before and the people with HDD are better off.

Is it really an issue? No one is better off if theres only one disc, some people are better off with 2-3 discs. Therefore theres no net loss for the people without HDD from this and theres a net gain from people with HDDs.

While it sucks, it doesn't mean that arcade owners are losing out on much....
I mean, instead of 400 cars, they only get 300... and instead god knows how many track variations, they only get a handful less.
PGR3 has a lot of cars in it, and I think there are too many useless ones in it.

I'm glad some people understand my point. Geez.. It seems the only ones complaining are the ones that don't have an X360..

Squilliam said: Thats ok, its balanced by the fact that many Xbox 360 owners will not even have to go to the trouble of inserting a disc to play Forza 3.

Except...that you do have to instert the Forza 3 disc to play Forza 3.  You just won't have to switch discs to access the content that couldn't fit onto the "play" disc.

Kind of sucks for Arcade users.  I know that for me, half the fun of Forza/GT games is driving all types of cars, not just the uber cars.  So it would suck if you want to drive a Civic or something only to find out that it's on the second disc and you can't drive it.

And it's pretty amazing how many people are defending Microsoft and Turn 10.

It is a kind of a pita for arcade owners, but i'm sure it's not as big a problem as some are making it out to be...

I just did a quick search on ebay and the 20gb hard drives can be had for around $20-$30.
