Find the xbox store in your menus, it should be on the right in the main menu, and look for the search function, type "forza" and it should come up.


If you bought the ultimate edition or have $100 to blow to get $130 worth of content, dont bother and pick up the ultimate edition that comes out the day after tomarrow

Thanks. Already bought and installed Ultimate. Thought the demo was part of that. Now another 12 gigs. Sigh.

If you do the demo, you get the Ford GT (the new one) added to your garage in the full version. So don't skip it if you want that car for free. Not that credits should be a problem in this game.

The guy I bought my M3 from was a senior program manager in the Xbox division who also happened to be the main guy responsible (guilty?) for bringing Party Chat to the Live service in 2008 (I like to think, on my many, MANY suggestions to do so) but alas he no longer works there so I was forced to pay FULL PRICE!!! Man. Now I'm sad, I used to get all sorts of free Xbox & 360 stuff (they called the first Xbox the Xbox)

Also, I tell people I work at a bank so they don't text me for discounts on what my company actually sells. Although rides in Lambos would make me more amenable to sorting out hookups. :v:

Yes. The store page says Ultimate Edition unlocks at 13:01 UTC, which Google tells me is 09:01 Eastern Time.
Thanks buddy! I knew I'd seen it somewhere but couldn't find it again in the ridiculous rats-nest of terrible microsoft/xbox websites that barely function at the best of times and all try to funnel a signed-in user (Me) towards buying a product (the pre-order) that I already own and paid for.

JFC.

Ive never played any of the previous Forzas because Ive been arse deep in iRacing and other sims for years until I burned out recently because sometimes I just wanna play a racing game you know? and not be 100% serious about it or gently caress about with the full G27 wheel etc.

I just tried the demo expecting something GT5ish or whatever and this surprised the poo poo out of me. Its actually drivable with a controller, you can slide it, catch it and have some kind of idea of whats going to happen given a certain set of inputs.

I guess I need to decide how much money to waste on which edition of this thing now.

BTW if you buy it from the demo do it just download the other 30odd gig of stuff or is an entire new DL coz the demo took all loving morning for 10gig.

I would totally start your checking account at 500 instead of 001 so all of america's check-takers would know you were legit, man

Ah well, if youre gonna do something even on the spur of the moment, you might as well do it properly I guess. Ill probably blow a day of early access on the D/L though...

It seems to be preloading ahead of time, so you should be able to play as soon as they flip the switch saying it's open for business.

GutBomb, or anyone else with a TX wheel... do we have to update the firmware to be compatible with this game? My PC needs a new PSU and MB and I'm not sure when I'll get around to fixing it, so I can't do anything windows-related.

Because we dont need the cut 80s sports cars, instead we need 60 horsepower VW vans and jeeps that top out around 50. My only gripe.


(And audis; Why do they bother with more than one audi sedan? They are all exactly the same. Ditto for infinitis sports coupes.)
