Posted my list on FM.net. :)

Same here. Didn't realize how many GT2 soundtrack songs instantly came to mind. :lol

Thanks for this Che! Sounds like you have some great stuff lined up for the VIP program as well. :D

Heavily debating whether or not to chip in the extra $150 to get my Fanatec wheel shipped faster. I already spent so much on it. :(

Money wasted on a few days extra. Unless you're rich, there are better things to spend that money on.

What? It's actually anywhere from a few weeks to a month extra I believe, depending on where you live and when you ordered. Basically it's air freight from the factory in China versus cargo boat.

$150 is a lot. Don't do it man, be patient.

I know, but I have birthday cash/gift cards which is why it's tempting so I can try and get the wheel before Forza comes out. :lol

Though if I get the wheel before Thanksgiving I'd be fine with it as well.

Maybe I'll just use it all for that DJ Hero Renegade Pack instead in that case.

See if I had like 150$ of giftcards to spare, I would spend it on DJ Hero in an instant. Unfortunately I can't justify spending that much of my own money on it. Does EB Games in Canada have any extra pre-order bonuses for Forza 3? I see a bunch of unique cars for Game and other stores not in Canada in the thread at Forzacentral.

Posting my tracklist now. :D

As for the 458 Italia trailer, I learned the names of the two songs in the trailer.

Mistabishi- Talk Me Down

Alex Metric- What Now

Both of 'em are on iTunes, I checked. :D

Do Canadians get that Zune HD car? It'll be the only Zune HD thing we have up here.


Edit, yes, that IGN crash video sucked.

The Inside Track
Dunno if this is new, just got this PR
Forza Motorsport 3 Eyes the Finish Line with Full Car and Track Lists plus Free Launch Day Add-ons
LONDON – 7 October 2009 - Racing fans and car lovers the world over are counting down the days until the much anticipated release of “Forza Motorsport 3” on Oct. 23, exclusively for Xbox 360. With the finish line in sight, Turn 10 and Microsoft are looking toward the winner’s circle as they officially release the game’s full list of cars and tracks on Forzamotorsport.net. On launch day, that list will grow even larger with the release of a free Game Add-on car and track pack, available exclusively by way of a one-time-use token card included in every new copy of “Forza Motorsport 3.” To celebrate these announcements, the team has also released the game’s official online trailer, featuring never-before-seen gameplay footage.

Putting the speculation amongst the buzzing Forza community to rest, Turn 10 has lifted the curtain on the more than 400 cars and 100 tracks to be featured in “Forza Motorsport 3.” The garage roster includes 30 Ferraris, 28 iconic Porsches, as well as cars not previously available in any racing game, such as the new Aston Martin DBS, Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR, and the 2009 Acura ARX ALMS race car. “Forza Motorsport 3” players will be the first to fully paint, customize, and tune these incredible cars and more.

Additionally, the Motorsports Legends Car Pack gives players another great reason to be excited about picking up “Forza Motorsport 3” on launch day, delivering 10 classic race cars and roadsters, on top of two extra tracks: the brand new Benchmark High Speed Ring and the returning circuit Sidewinder Proving Grounds. On Oct. 27, this pack will be exclusively available via a one-time-use token card included in every new copy of “Forza Motorsport 3.”

The Benchmark High Speed Ring is best described as an old airfield and hangar converted into a race track and automotive playground, perfect for all manner of creative “Forza Motorsport” hoonage and multiplayer mayhem. The track is characterized by 3.96 miles of rough surfaces and huge open areas, featuring a massive oval, an 8-lane drag strip, and an airplane hangar that players can drive (or drift) through.

The free Motorsports Legends Car Pack includes these 10 cars hand picked by Turn 10:

· ’65 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA

· ’64 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage

· ’81 BMW M1

· ’60 Chevrolet Corvette

· ’69 Dodge Charger

· ’57 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa

· ’80 Fiat 131 Abarth

· ’67 Lamborghini Miura P400

· ’71 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R

· ’65 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe

This is an incredible list of cars. I seriously want every one of them in my garage. With this stable, I might race classics through my entire career.

Wow....that Test Drive track still wanted?

This sounds incredible...just a freaking playground.

I KNOW someone here has the link to that car drifting around and through the airplane hangar....

One time use card huh? That kinda blows for the resellers market.

i think thats the idea.... to stop people selling, and encourage them to buy new, a classic set of cars is big incentive

i hope we see more classics

The Ken Block one?

BTW, where are all the Cossies? I remember seeing a Cosworth logo on some tuning screenshot a while ago but haven't seen an RS500, RS2000 or anything.

Well, I suppose its never too late to pre-order. Will do before the weekend. This is a great way to iron out alot of complaints, and just good for consumers in general. I will support these practices.

This free DLC code thing is just in every copy of FM3 forever and not just at launch yeah? The wording is kind of confusing.

Btw, no videos from us until October 23.
What?! When they're allowing the other sites to keep uploading videos, they're blocking you until release?

Blim, I know exactly how you feel...and I woudln't blame you for bowing out. Not when they're repeatedly fucking you over like this.

Eeek.
And i believe you're not allowed to tell us why...
 
So is it possible to listen to the English narrator in the German copy of the game? I'd hate to be forced to listen to a German narrator given the fact Microsoft sucks at doing German dubs.
