I was thinking of buying a Ferrari 355 Challenge 3-screener, and just said "F it" and did this instead.



Easily better than any arcade game I have played.... :(
 
How does one do this on a 360? Output to 3 screens that is...

I can't get past the gap between the screens though, I've played other setups for racing games with 3 screens, and that gap is ANNOYING and really kills the immersion for me.
 
steve, if you ever get a f355 challenge, i will never ever leave your basement!

However, that setup you have is fricking dope man!

One 360 for each screen.
 
That is hella cool! My son would love that!

That said, I'm about to start a tangent....here goes! I f-ing hate Xbox 360's quality. We own 3 of them. One for each kid and the wife and I share one. My oldest son's has been sent off twice and is now broke again, my youngest son's has been sent in once and is broke again. The wife and I now only use ours for netflix. I'm sick of dealing with these pieces of junk! The Wii we've had since the first 360 is rocking along just fine.

Three 360's!!!! Balla!! I only have one but don't see the reason for more in my house. It'll just keep my kids indoors more on CODMW2 and Halo reach. What is the manufacture date on your systems? Their age is probably your issue. All of the bugs are non existent in the newer models. I have had two Wii's and with the first one the fun wore off in about 3 weeks,we went right back to 360. Sold that Wii and got a free one with a furniture store deal on a couch,sold it on CL the next day.

Well the one that has been sent off twice is the oldest and the mine and the wife's is the newest. You're definitely on to something,but we still have 2 xbox originals (one is modded) and they both work fine. In game console years, they are OLD ;)

Yeah it's time to retire the oldest 360.What are the each doing?RROD? I have had mine since the very first release and have sent it back twice,now I have an issue with disc reads sometimes.Definately time to retire mine while it still works and I will be able to sell it. My extended warranty is up in a year. Its so old that almost all of the rubber is worn from my anolog sticks lol

Of course they work fine, they're not even the same hardware...

The issues with RROD's are improper ventilation in 90% of cases, the system gets too hot and warps the board, breaking the BGA connections on the CPU/GPU.
My 360 has never had an issue, and only 1 person I know has, and he had his crammed in an entertainment center with only a 1/4 between the shelf above it.

Yeah, I know. I'm just tired of shelling out cash on these stupid things.

Twice had RROD, video out another time, now the drives don't work and although I know how to fix/replace the drives, I don't feel like it. I'm a Network Admin/IT for a living and I get tired of coming home and hear "hey Dad....my _____ isn't working right. I get enough of that crap at work haha!

Uhhhh....duh! I know they aren't. I've had all of them apart. The 360 ones are pieces of sh!t...period.
 
I bought these three boxes for this set up. I have my first xbox 360 upstairs, and haven't had an issue with it. Cinder is right, normally it's a ventilation issue. I have these all standing up in a fairly open space away from everything. I agree the design of these things is dreadful, but if you do it right, you'll be fine.
 
Sweet three screen setup! It needs three copies of the game though right?

I have a later Jasper Xbox 360. Quality does not appear to be an issue with it. Runs very cool so don't think it will ever RROD due to overheat. Although the DVD drive can be a bit noisy which is annoying.

I love me some Forza 3 action. Interested to see how GT5 compares.

There's a special edition of Forza 3 coming out with all the DLC car/track packs, and an extra Top Gear Stig car pack.
