    XBOX360 | Test Drive Unlimited - The Official Thread

    There are so many threads floating around for this game, I thought I'd make a definitive one on the eve of the games release.

    Who knows, if it goes well I might end up doing an 'Official Thread' for all the big name releases.

    Anyhow, back to TDU. Apparantly they're running a referral program. You simply need to refer a friend to the game and you get two premium exclusive cars!
    All the details are available here: http://www.testdriveunlimited.com/referral-program/

    For those of you who get the game, let us know what you think.

    If enough of us get it, we should think about setting up a HEXUS Club in the game!

    I've got it coming on PC as well, I reckon I'll prefer the PC version since I have a wheel, widescreen monitor (HOPES FOR WIDESCREEN SUPPORT!! UNLIKE XBOX may I add!) and an awesome computer .

    I thought it was required for all xbox games to have widescreen support?

    When I played it, it was in HD - so it was in widescreen

    But HD is 16:9? I don't see a game that supports just 16:10 not being a widescreen compatible game myself...

    For those of you getting the game, don't forget to pair up with one another to use the referral program to get those two premium cars.

    I was really impressed with the short "Test Drive" (forgive the pun) I got to take in a retailer's store who had an Atari rep showing it off. Really looking foward to hearing what you all have to say when you get it. I'll definitly get it for PC (in the US) this fall if I think my computer can get beyond slide show to lagging streaming video quality.

    A new video related to TDU is available from the Live Marketplace, it's called 'The Automotive Dream (Test Drive Unlimited Walkthrough Video 1)'.
