If anyone still has an LFA I'll gladly take one; GT is my username.

They sent me an email at 1AM, but I didn't finalize the cancellation until earlier yesterday, so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it.

Oh that was probably what did it because I called them the day they cancelled it and told them to shove it, heh.

Also do we know how the pre-order cars are going to work? Are they going to be available to buy in the game or later on? 'cause I don't wanna accept your code if that means you're gonna miss out on driving the 1M yourself, that'd be just rude :D

I want a 1M. None of the places here had it as a preorder bonus :(

Preorder cars are not in the game. At least, they're not in their respective dealers. I'm going with "on-disc DLC that's unlockable using a code".

There you are in your home, and the soldiers smash down the door and tell you you're in the middle of World War III. Something's gone wrong with time.
Yeah luckily GAME Australia 1. were still accepting preorders 2. were asking $98 for the LCE 3. had the 1M for the bonus car. It's pretty much the only one I really wanted!

I may have made a mistake ordering the LCE from Gamestop UK without making an account - I literally have no idea on the status of my order.

So this Friday might be a really great end-of-work weekend, or it might be hugely depressing :downs:

Can't play this until I'm done with class at 3. I'm also paranoid that Gamestop will pull a Best Buy with my poo poo, even though I know they won't.

I've never seen so much pre-release drama for a game. Cancelled preorders. Delayed shipping. And all this during a national holiday for you Americans.

Fortunate: I got around a bit early this morning and went to Walmart before work (out of my way). They had the game, but the guy who unlocked the case let me know but they had a small stack of 6-7 LCEs at the bottom - I couldn't resist.

Unfortunate: It's my anniversary today and having a newborn means I'll never get to play ever. But hey, at least I spent that extra $20! :)

Means you're at the tail end of the guys route, to get things earlier you'd have to move closer to their hub. Or become a business because then they'll deliver stuff early in the morning as well since to UPS Business > Personal

Seconding this, and does anyone have any opinions on selling the amazon pre-order STI on Ebay?

I kind of regret not doing that when I bought Mortal Kombat, it looks like they are going for about $20. Is this something that might be able to be purchased with the season pass?

Just got an email from Play.com that my Forza 4 normal edition has shipped.

Yes, that's right, I completely forgot I pre-ordered it from Play ages ago and then went and pre-ordered an LCE copy from Gamestop :downs:

Well, my LCE preorder hasn't shipped yet but I'm way too excited already. GT is fluffmastaflex, shoot me a message to race in a day or so. For now, I'm going to go back to refreshing the order info every few minutes hoping that this will speed up my shipment.

Hey Walmart, how's my order coming:

Your order is being processed. It is estimated to arrive between Tuesday, 10/18/2011 and Thursday, 10/20/2011.

Oh. Guess I should have gotten release shipping.

So if anyone wants to send me an LFA when they're done with it, I'd be thankful. Or if anyone wants to trade for the pre-order Mini.

You'll be pleasantly surprised with the bonus book that comes with it. I honestly couldn't tell at first which pictures inside are photographs or game renders.

Also, it comes with a Top Gear window clingy thing! :haw:

Just a shiny paper box, since the LCE box is really a tin-case with Forza 4 on it.

I said screw it to DeepDiscount's shipping since they still hadn't shipped my LCE copy and went to a local Walmart to get one of their only 2 available copies.

edit: Also in the code sheet for the LCE what the hell is the Limited Edition Track Pack?

My ex-wife just picked me up a copy of the LE at the local Best Buy. She said they had a whole bunch. This is why I never bother to pre-order or buy online, I never seem to have any trouble finding games in stores on release day.

Now I just wish she would hurry up and get here.

Benchmark, I think. Which is kinda stupid because Benchmark is great to dick around on and everyone should have access to it.
