Edit: I just watched this and it’s pretty funny. Give it a look if you want a chuckle.
I used this in one of my shows a few weeks back, and since then I have gotten quite a few requests to post this sound alone. Just for you so-called ‘orb whores’: Here is the infamous (and official) agility orb sound effect. This is the sound you’ll hear when you play Crackdown and you pick up one of the 500 green beauties scattered across Pacific City to level up your agility.
I have two versions of the same file. Right click and choose ‘Save as’ (or something similar) to save this to your computer. Go ahead and make this your ring tone, new mail sound or whatever else you see fit Agent.
Agility Orb sound (MP3)
Agility Orb sound (WMA)

This is from the event I attended last April.
I just noticed that the redesign went live this morning. The site will give you an idea of some of the web based game integration (like Tournaments) that Forza Motorsport 2 will have, including the ‘Forza Motorsport 2 Online Auction House’ which will allow you to sell your auto creations for in-game career cash. Poke around the site to discover more of what the game will offer.
We announced the latest additions to the ‘Platinum Hits’ family of Xbox 360 titles earlier today. These titles will hit stores next month in various regions and are priced to move.
