Tried the multiscreen trick, had to go 80 degrees to work with the 2 cars I have but it makes the cockpit view a blast to race from now. Not really sure who the smart one was that thought they sound make a view where you can't see your mirrors but so far having a blast playing this game.

Could someone please tell me how in the heck I get the theme that is supposed to come with the collectors edition? I installed the redeem code and I know that it worked because I'm listed as a VIP on forza's web site. I even re-installed the download and have installed the game (both discs) and still no Forza theme is showing up in my list of gamer themes.

The theme was one of the reasons I decided to get the collectors edition so this is driving me crazy!!

UPDATE: the Premium Theme from the Limited Edition should be free (redeemable with the LCE code) but somehow it didn't work correctly. Here's Turn10s statement:

"We have learned that the Xbox LIVE marketplace code in the Forza Motorsport 3 LCE box isn't downloading the LCE theme like it should. We're aware of this issue and are working with relevant parties at Xbox LIVE to resolve the situation. Please check back here on 11/02/09 for an update on how you will receive your token code. We're sorry for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused!"

I picked it up last night . Can't wait to play it when I get home from work.

Don't do like me and install both discs to the hard drive from the Xbox dashboard. You have to install the 2nd disc from the menu within the actual game. I spent 30 head banging, teeth-gnashing minutes on figuring out why it said "install disc 2" in the game when I had already done it!

I'm not all that great with this design stuff, but I figured I'd personalize my Buick a bit. Still gotta fix a couple of things but it's fun playing around with these tools.

Looks nice, Pappy.

Love the game so far, and loved racing online with some OS'ers last night. We should do it again!

As or the design, I won't touch it (no time and patience) but if someone gets around to making a Denver Broncos or Minnesota Wild design, I'd gladly pay some credits for it.

You have no idea how frustrating it is to play the game for a month with a wheel, then suddenly on release day to have the pedals break and not register.

Have to hop online and drive like a complete jackwad with a controller after not having done that since PGR2.
