But considering how terrible the support from Windows->360 is now I'm not confident they'll do anything better for the next XBOX.
I'm just hoping that after the game goes live T10 has a chance to titty-twist the 'powers that be' into submission into allowing less compression on the images, after they see what sort of costs are involved in allowing better quality images.

Just switch off the PGR3/4 and FM2s photomode and let us have their storage space. 
am i the only one who isn't going to get suckered into buying the LE edition just for the cars, which they (turn10) obviously took out from the main game and present it as "extras" to beef up thier LE?
Sheesh T10, you guys do know your competitor is giving 900+ all without charging extra right?

umm yes windows 7 mce to 360 extender plays xvid divx
and mkv 5.1 ac3 with this lovely codec from divx labs http://labs.divx.com/mkvwin7preview

Well aside from the extra cars with the LE, the VIP title will also net you a few custom designed cars. In the end, as with all CE's, it is an optional thing that companies do to try to give diehards a little bonus and bring in some extra revenue, the competitor you mention also put out a prologue which for the diehards is awesome.

Why's the official thread not up? Game is out in under 2 weeks now.

Just make sure any images in the OP are under 100kb.

I still like "The Definitive Forza Motorsport 3 Thread" - classy, slightly acknowledging the tensions of the console wars without being too flame baity. I'm not a fan of titles such as "The Official Forza Motorsport 3 thread of mindblowing, orgasmic tire deformations and definitive Che over-promising spectacularthons of super-magnetic superlatives"
Third day of videos is up. Full Montserrat track lap at 60 fps, full Fujimi Kaido at 60 fps (2 parts), and replay of that Fujimi Kaido lap.

Take a peek at the FK gameplay if you want to see some quite amazing speed sensation

I still think simply going with "The Definitive Forza Motorsport 3 Thread" would be funny as hell. Classy, crass, and provocative all at the same time. But if not, I humbly submit for your review:
The Official Forza Motorsport 3 Thread of seeing the pixels and a few shops in my time.

Does everyone who is faced with a hurdle just stop, sit down and stare at the hurdle and go oh well I can't jump it..... FFS!
ok so the USB is off limits, let's see how to turn a lemon into lemonade in a few simple steps. Win 7 is coming out, why not tie win7 and FM3 together for mutual benefits... hmm how.. so tough... so complex... Maybe a win7 app that talks to FM3 just like the multiscreen setup... hmm maybe getting something here... oh wait... yah.. full length HQ videos and full uncompressed 1920x1080 renders directly to the win7 app to store anywhere you want on your local network.. Woah.. a Xbox 360 app talking to anything it wants on a local network?! F*CKING INSANE I KNOW!!&!!(!@ That's just how I rolll.

from forza site:
Che Team Forza:
We are the developers of Forza Motorsport 3. We can show off the game in any manner we want.
It's true, you won't be able to take photomode shots from within the cockpit, but then again, we never advertised that you'll be able to. But to show you that we've modeled the cockpits with all the detail, we can go into our debug menu and turn off camera clipping to allow us to go into the cars in photomode and take screenshots. Otherwise, it's the same photomode that everyone will use, except they won't be able to clip into the cockpit.
Sorry, it's not in the final game, but there were reasons for it.
Also, there is nothing about photomode that's bullshots except the player car model uses what you see in the UI and in the homespace. All other assets are exactly the same. The AI cars, the lighting on the track, the geometry of the track, etc. are all the same as what you see when you play the game. In fact, the cockpit you see when you play the game is exactly what we showed you with our cockpit screenshots.
Again, sorry you're disappointed you can't take photos in cockpits but that's how it is.
Also, you can't remove the driver model either, which is something we can do with the debug menu.

Would have been cool to give us a option to remove the driver if the car is not moving in photo mode, now that I think about it.

I'm actually surprised they didn't let us turn off the drivers... couldn't have been too hard.
That aside, shouldn't we all be in the official thread now?

Is there any possibility of the game being patched to allow us more time in control of the revs at the start of the race? Not just for drag racing, but for every race in the game. I put the demo on today after a couple of weeks of not playing it, and i have a feeling this issue is going to get on my tits in the full game.

Man thats a good looking model. GT might be king of car models but there is absolutely nothing shabby about Forza 3, thats absolutely gorgeous especially considering the number of visual customisations you can make.radeonxt said:
A Right Driving-wheeled Ford? :S
Why do we have so many Right handed- drive wheeled vehicles? :S :S

Its a Focus RS, UK/Euro only(Performance is too close to a Mustangs for Ford to sell it in the US).
Forza 2 used cars in their domestic Market trim iirc

Not to mention that we get most of these cars in the UK anyway.
Besides, it's the rest of you guys that drive on the wrong side of the road.

Also nice to see that black cars have some shade to them now, using solid dark black in forza 2 makes the car just look like a blob and you need to use 1-2 shades up to make the car look a lot nicer.

A) That Ford is stunning. Look at that thing. Please, just for fun, throw in a couple of gravel/dirt sections in some of the tracks.
B) It's a conspiracy that my birthday is October 23, and I live in the US, where this game gets released Oct. 27. Will I have fun on my b-day, or will I be thinking "can't wait until Tuesday..."? Or will I be thinking "the Euros have intentionally tried to ruin my birthday?"
