I've only used them for Live subs and they've always provided a good service. X1 games are region-free, so you can be confident it will work. Even if it didn't, you could create a UK gamertag as well.

Love that top-down view through the field with the headlights on, I could play an entire game like that.
It's up to £39 now, which is the same as my Amazon order, but if it drops again I might buy it.
But yeah the code should work fine for you, with the console and games being region free.
If you have a US ISP, it's showing up at $55, which is a pretty standard web price-point for more competitive retailers. Still, not bad. I bought a couple of those $45 for $50 XBL currency cards from Newegg to have ready in my account.

Polygon seems all over the place to me sometimes. I honestly think they pursposefully give good games lousy reviews just to be controversial and get extra clicks.
The first one was amazing, and this looks even better.
Cool thanks.

Because games are reviewed by different people?
Forza Horizon 2 looks damn good though.
Oh so I can buy $60 of MS credit from Newegg for $55.
If I just get Forza from the US Xbox store it will cost £34

I hope I do not need to create UK gamertag. Thanks though. Waiting for the demo to hit the store.
It still shows me $54.99 which is equivalent to £35. However, it seems this is not Day One edition unlike Amazon UK. And I see £44 on Amazon for the game.

I still don't understand this Day One thing. Does the game come with any different content or are all new copies Day One editions?

Reading on Xbox.com there's different cars on the 360 and the One versions. Anybody have a breakdown?

Same content but with in-game bonus. As far as I know it includes unique car and livery.

Thanks.
In what way?
I think it does with the weather effects at least.
i only played a few minutes of forza 5 but i dont remember it looking this good. especially the rainy parts. maybe its just me

weather adds to the gfx so i'd say yes

Forza 5 doesn't have rainy parts, so there's that.
To answer you question: yes, I think horizon looks super impressive.

Forza 5 also had 30 more fps to worry about
Edit: totally didn't mean to sound like a snob
Aliasing too.

There's more going on and it's more than just tracks, so I'd say it does. Maybe I'm bad at watching videos, but I see no jaggies either.

I really like the look of the tyres when they are all dirtied up, hope that makes it back into FM.
It will, along with dirt stages and full weather/dynamic time of day.

Just some dusty tyres will do.

So, rain in obviously in, but is mud?

I brought it up when it was released. Some of the points made were real head scratchers.
This flat out doesn't happen. When you go to the higher classes of cars not every car is equal you have to look beyond the class ranking. Things like acceleration, weight, and handling come into play.

there is a day one edition ?
Not to discourage you from going digital, but both Best Buy and the MS Store give you $10 in XBL money and a car for preordering.

Man, I cannot wait to get some Cannonball/Gumball races in with Forza GAF, especially now with traffic in!

Some more hands-on impressions from one of the youtubers who was at the recent preview event at Playground:

I like the idea of the lottery spin system to win cars/money.
Hey now, I love Horizon 1, but it really wasn't better than PGR4. Came close, especially when you factor in the Rally DLC, but it missed the city tracks/locales and weather system that made PGR4 so damn amazing.

Or we can wait till the game release.
Almost makes me want to buy a Xbox One. Hmm..

You'd think this guy just witnessed the second coming of Jesus with Horizon 2 after watching this impressions video. And I don't mean that as a jab towards the guy. It's between videos like this and the launch trailer (which I find myself watching at least twice a day now) that get me insanely hyped for this game. MS really needs to lock up Playground Games. These guys are out here doing the Lord's work.
I was under the impression that those visitors were hardcore fans. The car lottery was already in Forza Horizon, at least in multiplayer.

I found Forza 5 a bit sterile and boring. This looks so much more like what i want.

It was also in single-player: completing all 10 races in a street racing spot gave you a random car from a roulette/lottery.

To be fair, it sort of happened to me as well, with AI set to Insane, and then Hard. I became competitive again after setting it to Medium, so I guess it depends on your skill, but thankfully, Forza always gives you so many difficulty options to adjust.
6/10 is still at least 3 points too low, however.
