i don't think that the new nfs:uc will be crap, looks 'okay' to me.
i think they should remove the title 'need for speed', cause there is no 'need for speed' inside.

i grow up with nfs1 and played all titles till underground ... Neutral

How come GFX problems would affect specific DVD drive models only. What you're saying sound insane.

No, the textures load from the drive on the fly. With a slower drive as the BenQ seems to be coupled with the fact written disks are harder to read than printed disks and thus slower, means that texture and loading times can be problematic for a specific drive.

Don't worry though, with the ability of writing the full disk to the hard drive with the new dashboard coming soon, that will be sorted.

Interesting. If it occurs, that texture reading issue, I would imagine that it would just have the game sadly freezing and crashing. That's not the case apparently, Xbox is full of ressources. I did experience some strange texture bugs ingame too, I guess I don't have to ask myself what is my DVD drive model Rolling Eyes ...

Well you have two choices. Either swapping it out for a Hitachi which I think are slightly superior to the Samung's or waiting for the new dashboard.

Now the new dashboard could be used to read from the drive more specifically and be used to ban on Live. I'll wait a couple of months myself before transfering any disks to the hard drive until I get feedback on how it's being used.

You still need the game in the DVD drive to play it off the HDD because it searchs for a sector like a cd protection. Jenni yeah I knew already but what im thinking is if this new dash update checks for the protection thats on the discs how do we know we have the exact identical copy as like the original?

Anyways I have a Ben-Q drive and I'm getting the same problems with textures with this game Sad

I also have a BenQ drive, and had the texture popups during the first 30 minutes or so. It gradually went down, and the last 45 mins i played, i had no popups at all.

That's why I'll be waiting for other peoples experience before I store games on the drive. I don't trust MS at all.

Like I said, get a Hitachi drive.

That's because some of the data is being stored on the cache. The more you play it, the more data will be stored.

As for the disk checking, I'm hoping it just checks to see if the disk is in the drive. Someone may come up wit a way to transfer the games directly from a downloaded image onto the hard drive and use a sort of mini image written to a cdr or single layer to put in the drive.
The price of Verbs is a piss take.
