So, who's getting it?

I just pre-ordered today. Sucks, gotta wait 8 weeks

23rd October is scheduled release date FYI.

my brother would probably like it but i'm not really much for racing games anymore, though when I was hotlapping with my friend a few months ago I was getting into, got a 350Z on Maple Valley Reverse down to 1:40.537 (or 1:41 can't remember) but then we stopped so I lost interest)

where's all the 360 exclusives gone? all we get is the odd sequel (ODST/Reach, Forza 3, Fable 3 are the only exclusive I can think of assuming they don't go to Windows down the line), nothing new! the PS3 is gonna catch up and surpass the 360 in terms of exclusives at this rate

Not really exe... the ps3 is far enough behind that it will take quite a while to equal the 360!

That said, both console are much of a muchness.. I played a mate's 360 today and it was... good... no better or worse than my ps3.

OT: Never played a Forza but with my recent love of racers just warming up I'm starting to eye PGR4 and Forza 3 with keen interest... plus, the basic version of the xbox would still allow me to stream media which would be *drool*

personally unlike the PS3 I can't name that many recent exclusives, original ones at that, not to mention those on the horizon, though i'm very much more than happy to be proven wrong

/ontopic

what's in the CE? I remember the Forza 2 was suppose to have just a big book lol

According to wiki the PS3 has more exclusives than Xbox now, something like 150-115, though how many of those exclusives are currently released isn't listed.

The CE contains...
Forza Motorsport 2GB USB Storage and keychain.
Forza Motorsport VIP Membership* and Exclusive Car Pack.
Exclusive Collector's Edition Car Pack.
Exclusive Forza Motorsport 3 Theme.

$99 from JB Hi-Fi, not bad imo.

I had a game of this at a recent conference I went to where Microsoft were displaying it and it was 'ok'. The car kinda felt like a boat, but maybe that's the 'simulator' part. I dunno, I'm kind of hanging for GT5 more than this. Guess I'll just read some reviews and go from there

Definitely a must-buy for me. Forza 2 provided many, many hours of fun.

There's a demo of Forza 2 on the Live Marketplace. Get that. The cars don't handle like boats in 2 so I doubt they will in 3.

yea, that's the problem, there's been heaps of exclusives being announced for PS3 when there's next to none being announced for 360, though how many of those are downloadables from the wiki list I don't know

oh ffs, what? do they cost like 2c to make these these days? they're giving them away these days!! I mean they're with every second collectors edition and i've seen em in shops bundled with other things sheesh, they'd think people'd have enough of them by now

For the cost of the rrp standard edition game you get your moneys worth I think, and at least the USB stick is stylish... Sims 3 plumb-bob. :lol:

I'm no vehicle physics realism expert, but Forza2 is up there with the other PC simulators imo. I played GRID recently and dear god, it makes you really appreciate decent racing simulators!

No doubt.

Always been more of a sim man myself, did really enjoy PGR3 and 4 though, will certainly be picking up FM3 on release, looks like a vast improvement on FM2 visually which was my main gripe with it being the eye candy fan that i am, be doing alot of hotlapping in a couple of months time i reckon, and will be loving every minute of it!
