(sorry if this is in the wrong place but I couldn't find an introduction section)
Hey there guys! I'm new to this forum (although a long-time member of GTP) and just thought I'd stop by and introduce myself. I'm a recent switch from GT5. I bought GT5 on release day and played it religously for almost 2 years. I bought every DLC and have well over 1200 cars and sit at around 19 mil credits. But, sadly, a few weeks ago I found myself getting bored with the game and finding nothing new to do.
Then I saw an ad for Horizon. I can't even recall the number of times I've wished there was an open world game like MCLA (which I was totally addicted to) with physics and graphics like GT. Well, Turn 10 beat PD to it. I had already been considering picking up a used Xbox just to have both systems and try both franchises, but Horizon was the final straw.
I started browsing CL for used 360's and found a 4GB Slim with a controller and all cables for $100. I then bought a 16GB flash drive for $10 from Wal Mart and formatted it to the 360 to have more storage till I can find a 250 or 320 hdd. Then I picked up the $75 Live starter kit with a 1 yr gold membership, chat pad, wired mic, and 400 pts.
So, for about $200 I have a red-ring-proof 360 with 20gb of storage and a year of Live with everything I need to play online. I picked up a used Forza 4 and have been addicted ever since the first race. I bought the game 5 days ago and I'm currently level 38 and in the Masters season of the career. I also pre-ordered the Limited Edition of Horizon so expect to see me around here more often.
So there's my story and like I said, hello everyone!
