that would work so much better, multiple screen setups are whack because of the big gaps between screens

why would you need a whole lost of money after you had the 360's and flat panels?

The electricity bill would be awfully large running all that in tandem. Hell you might need a seperate generator so you wont blow the fuse.

That's awesome!!! I also had no clue that could be done. I have 3 xboxs and Forza though, so I might try it tonight. Unfortunately I can't get everything in one room, but I have a projector, 26 inch HDTV, 27 inch SDTV, and a 17 inch LCD I could use, but don't have a VGA cable. Maybe I'll get a VGA cable soon and play it on the projector and have the LCD as a rearview mirror.

That's pretty damn slick, but a little too costly for me. I'll be pinching pennies to pick up the racing wheel and a copy of the game when it comes out.

cool but

holy molly thats gona cost you

do you need a HDD to play this game

for the updates ? i was so piid off when i got my core system and copy of PG3 i pluged it all in and went to live and bam you need to update but sorry you dont have any storage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) even the mem card wasnt enouth (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

SO lets base this on core systems

4 X xbox 360 = £800

4 X Lcd monitors ( lets go for crapy cheap 1s ) = ~£400

4 X copy of the game ( lets say £40 at realease ) = £160

4 X electric ( 170 watts per 360 ) = 600 watts + lcd monitors = ~ 1 Kw Hour :/

Grand total = £1360 + what ever you eleci bill is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) just to play Forza 4 screens (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

got all mine on order now thats untill the company realises im not going to be able to pay for it all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

LoL now if it run of just one Xbox 360 that would be teh sex.

I have two Xbox 1's, maybe I should try this with Forza 1.

The guy talking sounded like Major Nelson in the reply "oh wow", I hope he wasn't driving

wth?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

This'll be used by maybe .0001% of the people who buy the game, at most....

just use a small room and have like projectors and align them up to match perfect and then play with no black patch in the screen cus its annoying to have that lol. just try to imagine that one ey people projectors and itll be like your in the game rracing " hey bro that you in front of me!" "dunno lemme turn my REAL HEAD REAL quick... wait yea that you behind me" or set up a system in a car were the windows are the screens of the game lol with a rear view mirror that works to lol how bout that one OOOOO i wish i was b-gates i'd have the money to do that lol.

sweet! and this works for xbox one too? well i just happen to have a 3 moniter system on my desktop. the center is a hd lcd with all kinda of inputs, but the other two are 19 lcd monitors. i have like 6 xbox and several copies of that game floating around...looks like i'm going to be lookin into vga boxes for the outside monitors!!!!

wait i think my twin matching qomsmio media center laptops have a/v inputs...going to try it now

This feature is sweet, I mean If you have alot of dedicated 360 and forza fans this wouldn't be that hard of a task to accomplish.

3 friends + 4 xbox 360s + 4 screens + 4 copies of the game + racing wheel = Great racing party night.

even if you get bored of the multiscreen setup you could just play a lan to finish out the night.
