Hi, I was wondering if you would be able to tell me the times of the lap times on Jason's Forza 3 lap time and the Pro's lap time please I want to see if I can beat it on Forza 3 thank you. P.s. you should have gaming competitions so the gadgets show hosts have to play a certain game and the viewers have to try to beat their score online i.e xbox live, playstation Home etc.

a highly flawed test of a bad game using the silverstone circuit modelled in 2003, no clutch and gears like JH, and a damp track. please make sure to make these 'challenges' fair next time, and dont be so over dramatic over the tech: the result will have been the same with a 360 wireless wheel and one screen.

I've never seen that xbox 360 link up, but it smells more like eyefinity to me...

How to play split-screen: Only some games support this function, like Forza 3. To do this you need 3 screens, 3 xbox's and 3 copies of the game. You need to connect all three xbox's to a router (or simular device) via an ethernet cable and then select split-screen play in the Forza 3's (or other supportive games) options and the xbox's will auto autmatically configure themselves to each other once you select the position of each screen, AND THEN YOU CAN RACE!!!
