Hmmmm.

Both are stunning and rammed packed with A1 physics but which one should I / you pick up. For me its simple, I'm going for Dirt cos the demo Wowed me. As for the Forza demo I found it to be a bit boring.

 

Edit: 

Anyone know anything about Dirt's online play, haven't seem much on that...

I've played both demos too and I agree that DIRT was the better demo. Depends what type of racing you prefer, I suppose. I'm going to buy Forza 2 anyway because it's a must-have even though the graphics aren't the world's best ever. DIRT is also likely to be a great game. If you can, you could buy both and have the best of both worlds :)

dirts online play is only times so you never race directly against each other you pretty much race against a ghost. also forza is already for sure a great game with long legs. i say buy forza now and save up you money and buy dirt for 50 or 45 a little later

FORZA will last you much longer because of the customization and hundreds of XBL features

Arrrgghh... I'm on the same boat, I want DIRT & I want Forza 2, I've always loved Colin McRae Rally and Forza 2 loooks really good but it's kinda a split decision I could buy both but I don't want too, I don't think GS will rate DIRT above Forza so I think I may have to flip a coin :(

the demo for forza 2 didn't do it justice.. its a shame people are basing the entire game off that.  It's so deep with gameplay and the xbox live content is amazing.  The career mode is setup perfectly and makes you familiar with multitudes of cars.  Dirt is awesome but it's not going to have the long life span that Forza 2 will have.

Im getting both but if I had to choose one it would be forza all the way. Everyone dogs forzas graphics but in my opinion I was not a big fan of dirts slightly unstable FPS and vsync issues, the more I go back and forth between the two the more I like forza.

Forza is the best racing game I've ever played. The demo didn't impress me, but I bought it anyway because I liked Forza 1 and got a free copy of Table Tennis thrown in. Highly recommended.

I liked both games, but I chose Forza because of the huge online aspect including regular tournaments and such, and the game plays a LOT better than the wheel.  I played around with dirt and all the wheel settings and I could never get it right.  Sucks, too, because with the cockpit view and a good wheel setup it would've been great.

I also unfortunately only have time for one of the two games :)

I'm gonna have to go with Forza 2. Forza 1 was a classic. I had some good times with that game. Plus I don't like Dirt's interface, it just bugs me.
