Would rather have tracks in the game that you can have in events/lobbies/career. The ring in public hoppers either gets voted off or abused by other drivers leading to a miserable 7-12 minute drive whilst those who did not get taken out romp ahead.

Yeah sure its an awesome track and love racing it with people who know what they are doing, hot lapping it etc but 9 times out of 10 it ends up as a wreck fest.

With tracks like Long Beach they can actually be used in many ways.

Think the ring will be included in FM6 but not before unfortunately....I'm hoping FM5 was "Forza Prologue" a la GT series, buying them time to put together the full car content and tracks for FM6.

That's the fun of the 'ring for me. If you get through the first couple of corners without incident then you're on to a win. Get caught up in an accident and then you have the fun challenge of trying to catch up people in front. Each to their own smile

Price cut caused a twitch.

Slightly boozy afternoon and a smartphone are always a concern.

Delivered Monday.

I assume there's a ph group thing to join?

Erm, no! In their infinite wisdom turn10 decided not to bother with car clubs for Forza 5.

Your best bet would be to post your GT on here and get some PH'ers on your friends list. We had a PH race night a couple of weeks ago and a BTCC championship is about to start.

And actually, thread hijack.

The box is here. I've not opened it yet.

I usually play with headphones so as to not wake the young master. However, I have not bought the adaptor thing for voice yet.

Can the kinect pick up voice chat and if so, can I configure it such that voice chatter goes through the headphones but the mic is on the kinect?

Un-hijack. The headphones don't connect to anything on the back of the Xbox.

As you were.

Hijack. Are they the headphones that came with it and plug in to the bottom of the controller?

Nope, these are my turtle beach jobs. Phonos for game sound, plug into the controller for chat.

I need a couple of quids worth of 3.5mm to phono cable and a headset adaptor...

...or, I cut the supplied headset up and stick a suitable cable on it.
