New Forza content out soon
Turn 10 on Wednesday confirmed that the first set of downloadable content for 'Forza Motorsport 2' has been completed, and is currently in the process of being certified by Microsoft ahead of release.
The contents and the price of the pack is yet to be revealed, however the studio's report mentioned that the pack would contain a patch for several identified bugs and exploits (including a speed glitch on the Nissan Speedway, and a PI calculation bug for the Lotus Elan). An automatic patch update will also be released to fix the issues separately.
News of the future content comes at the same time as a release of stats and figures detailing the performance of the game over Xbox Live, including the number of gamers that have logged a scoreboard time (over 520,000), the number auctions that have taken place (over 2 million), and the number of photos that have been uploaded (over 1.5 million).
The studio also clarified reports surrounding rumours that the game has been responsible for "bricking" a number Xbox 360 consoles, and stated that "the game itself does not brick Xbox 360 consoles".

not bricking 360s....my arse.
My 360 died within 5 minutes of loading forza.
My brothers died after about 2 days of loading it,
my nephews died after about a week..
my old xbox is sitting in a bag waiting to get repaired, as I went out and just bought a new one...TBH the game is so good, its worth forking out for new one, but microsoft shoudl really not be charging anyone for repairing what is clearly a very unreliable console. As a total package esp. considering the games it has its still much better than the PS3 though.

bricking?
"Brick is the slang term for an electronic device which cannot function (or has been rendered useless by damaged firmware). This comes from the fact that the device in question can be considered only as useful as a brick, and little else"Hope that helps :- )
Was quite funny hearing people say their 360 power brick had bricked : p
Mines been fine with Forza, if it was a problem with the game causing the 'bricking' surely it would effect most people who bought it?
It might just be a case of the straw breaking the camels back with people who's consoles have died.
My original one died in less than 3 weeks of owning it, but the second one (touch wood) has been fine.

I doubt it will be free, the patch and maybe one car will be free in a forced update to the game, the rest of the content you'll have to shell out for, much like all the PGR3 downloads, which also included a few minor patches.all that info btw, was taken from this weeks turn10 pitpass http://forzamotorsport.net/news/pitpassreports/pit...

cheers for the definition!
might it be the extra use thats cause the consoles to meltdown?
I think this is the reason why mine came up with the red light as just got Forza and Oblivion so have been playing on it a whole lot more than usual. Didnt have to send mine off though as the red light hasnt returned and its gone back to normal other than freezing at times.might it be the extra use thats cause the consoles to meltdown?
