So, I'm trying to get my last accomplishment in Forza 3, but I can't. All I need is "Complete your first Forza Motorsport movie". I have the 4gb arcade, so I can't use the replay. :( So I bought a usb flash drive but then I find out that won't work for Forza 3. I don't live anywhere near a city, and no one I know has a 360. Is there any way to get this accomplishment without buying an internal HD? I don't care about watching my replay, and I don't want to spend on a HD just to do one accomplishment. Any ideas would be appreciated, I'll try anything!

Why would you bother for one achievement? Just forget the achievement

It's my last accomplishment - I just want to say I beat the game totally. I guess it's just my own pride.

First, it is called an achievement, not an "accomplishment". Second, it is up to the liberty of the developer on to what to make the achievements for. For example, there is an achievement for Rainbow Six Vegas requiring you to use an Xbox Live Vision Camera to take a picture, which that is obviously an accessory avaliable for purchase. So you should not have a valid reason to compain on a videogame forum that you have to purchase a hard drive to get a single achievement for one game.

That sucks man but sadly, as mentioned above, there are multiple examples of achievements like this.

I wouldn't go to the extreme of buying additional items just to have one single achievement pop.

And hell, the story of how you came so close yet couldn't quite get to that perfect 1000/1000 due to being shafted is a much better story than, 'I clocked Forza 3.'

Also, if you upgrade to a bigger HDD in the future you can always go back and finish it. :)

Thanks Subject-16. You're right about the story lol. I do plan on buying an HDD, so I suppose I'll just have to be patient. I was just hoping there was a way around it. I was complaining because I spent money on a flash drive - guess I should have put it towards FM4.

To be honest, if I got the solid gold achievement without being able to get this one, I would be pretty upset myself.

Purchasing something to acquire an achievement is a pretty valid complaint to me. If you purchased the game, should be able to do "accomplish" everything in it.

Yep like some of these games with one Kinect achievement, what a cop out. Any attempt to try and get you to buy a piece of s*** you don't want.
