I hate 360 pads. Hate the style, hate the offset sticks, hate the dpad, hate the buttons, hate everything. But no matter how hard you hate it, it works with plug and play drivers in windows and is compatible with practically any modern game that supports a pad, and most automatically configure... So I got one and am so glad I did.

imo the xbox 360 controller is 10x better than the p2500. I made the switch myself in 2006 and the difference was immense. The lack of analogue triggers and the awkward distance you have to reach for the thumbsticks makes the p2500 a bit meh (and I have pretty big hands in terms of reach). Was good at the time but I don't know of anything that surpasses the 360 controller now.

360 pad has rumble in crysis
If its like DiRT then you will probubly be able to complete the career mode without doing them, but not unlock everything. Ive got quite far in DiRT having completely missed the buggy RAID events (just crash, lots and lots and lots) and the truck RAID event crashes the game.
I got Dirt but have not installed it yet may give it ago soon.
Imagin GRID, but on Dirt tracks, with lower framerates.
I'd like to know why this game runs at full settings on my system when other earlier games don't?
Athlon X2 4200+ @ 2.6GHz
2GB PC3200
512MB 7900GS PCI-e
Creative Audigy
XP Home
Smooth as the proverbial baby's arse @ 1680x1050 for some reason.
Don't know now, I may buy STALKER next week and see if that runs beyond my expectations.

I got DiRT. It was utterly unplayable at any resolution with an X2 3800 @2.5GHz, 2GB, 7900GT@550/850. Yes, unplayable at 640x480. It also required an open internet connection at all times, although it didn't say that on the box. Framerates about halved without one.
I messed with it for a few days trying to find the problem, then I decided the whole thing was the problem and traded it in.
So I was pleasantly surprised to find the Grid demo humming along smoothly all the time at 1280x1024 and looking rather good. Unlike my lap times
I'm planning on buying this one, maybe a more arcade-y controller too.
Well i've found the only level that doesn't CTD is the drifiting one. I for one quite like it! Think it really shows off the detail in the game, especially when I watched back the replay. Smoke effects looked ace from the wheels and the reflections in the body work were nice. Was quite hard, but I'm sure I will improve.
Think I'll buy the game.

just installed this demo,all i can say is wow run's butter smooth with high and ultra setting at max resolution of 1900-1200 solid 40fps+,x360 works even has vibration ,sooo much better that dirt crap,carn't wait for full game.
zia
where are the ultra settings?
Question:
With a AMD Dual Core 6000+ (4GHZ stock) 4GB ram with Vista Ultimate what kind of card single would i be best to get to run in MAX details @ a 1080p res?
Id like to attain the 60fps too if possible...
On a another note has anyone seen this game/demo running in 3 screen mode yet if indeed it supports it?

iirc on the graphic options press 'shift' to go to the advanced menu
been having some superb online races making the game totally addictive .. hoping they have some sort of passworded server option so mates can all race without some random nub wrecking things..
