The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

I feel a lot better about buying the 100 dollar idiot version because the last Forza I got was 4 and I waited out a proper PC release. Patience!

Hundred dollar idiot version ($120 here :canada: ) is a go. No way in hell am I buying anything that doesn't give me the PC license unless the bundled car is a P1 with a one-of-a-kind livery and performance boost.

If there's a physical copy of the PC version the only reason I'd buy it is to avoid the week plus it would take me to download it at ~160/180KB/s.

Why do people pre-order a digital game? Why do people pre-order games full stop, its not like they run out of copies of Forza.

This was my situation with Mass Effect Andromeda, and, I fear, the way of the future. Sucks for those of us on America's lovely rural internet infrastructure.

You can pre-load the game (start the download a day or two ahead of time) so you're not stuck downloading it on launch day. Also, the pre-order of the ultimate edition unlocks a week before the other versions.

That doesn't mean you have to buy it today. You can wait and buy it the day it's available for early access, or the day it launches, and that's fine.

I'm actually not a proponent of pre-ordering games. I can count the number of games I've pre-ordered this decade on one hand. But in this case, I have a general idea of what the product and its quality will be, and I'll be buying it anyway, so in this case I'm pre-ordering just to save the (incredibly minor) headache of buying it on my way home from work on release day. Or buying it online at work on release day, then getting home and waiting for it to download all evening.

If I know for sure I'm going to buy a game no matter what I pre-order it. I almost never pre-order games, but the Forza series is pretty consistent in its quality so pre-ordering doesn't seem like a bad thing.

I mean its not like I'm not going to buy Forza 7. Who cares when I buy it?

I would even preorder Forza 8 if I could.

My logic as well. I generally don't preorder anything but I know I'm going to buy it on day one anyways so why not? I've bought every game since the first (except the pointless 360 version of FH2) and all the DLC since FM4. Turn 10 is just simplifying the process by letting me hand them the money ahead of time.

I pre-order things because I am impatient and don't need to "sleep on it" on a $100 purchase, if the game sucks, loving who cares. Buy another 2 until something doesn't.

Pretty comprehensive lineups for Ferrari and Porsche. Glad to see they have a lot of individual models, and they're not padding the list with different numbered race cars of the same year and model.

Good to see the 944 Turbo back, but I'd like an S2 as well.

928 is fantastic to see.

If they had the 917K, 512M (Le Mans car not Testarossa succsessor) and a modern Ferrari F1 car ot would be the perfect Porsche and Ferrari lineup.

Sadly I think EA have F1 locked up much like they did Porsche, which is a shame because the F2004 should be the game's end boss.

Codemasters has the F1 license, not EA. And there's been a current F1 car in each Forza Motorsport release on the xbone (it's been a lotus though)

Ferrari have also licenced their F1 cars for Assetto Corsa on PC, and McLaren did the same for iRacing. To be honest I'd expect Renault to throw their 2016 car into Forza since it's basically the same as the 2015 Lotus.

That's actually the F1 car I had in mind although an F2002 would also be acceptable.

Most of all though I want to recreate the movie Le Mans in Forza so I really want the 917K and 512M. Not even Assetto Corsa has the latter.
