I'll pick this up at Kmart tonight. Regular edition. No pre order. No nothin'.

If I'm really lucky a friend or two will buy it as well.

I'm poo poo at sim racing so kinda intimidated playing in a Goon Car club. Unless there's a "we're really lovely" goon car club. Unless you can be a part of more than one.

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

It was VIP-only in FM3 too. It'll probably be up as regular DLC in a month or so though.

The Disc 2 install process is like installing a PC game from the late '90s. A nice little slideshow, a wholly inaccurate "time remaining" counter and plenty of chill music to keep you from getting impatient.

So does anyone know if unicorns (or locked cars in general) can be shared in the car clubs? Seems like a bunch of dudes here wanna drive the 69 Camaro SS, which I have and would gladly share, but they're locked in Forza 3 and so cannot be gifted. I'd like to set up some kind of Unicorn sharing thing so we can all drive all the Unicorns without needing to get them all individually (took me over a year just to get the three in Forza 3), but I've not read anywhere saying that they can or cannot be shared.

I really hope that they can...

You can only be part of one car club. We'll see how it plays out with multiple clubs for goons. Inevitably after a month or two, there will only be enough people left to maybe fill one club.

Well at Gamestop, for in store pickup, the code is supposedly printed on your receipt. I imagine it's the same at BB.

Mines unshipped, still no 3rd e-mail. But it hasn't been cancelled... so far my internet searches have told me that as of now everyone is either cancelled or shipping. Mines stuck :(

Mine was shipped yesterday apparently. Hoping GAME have broken the street date and I receive my LCE tomorrow. For reference I placed my order on August 11th.

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.

This bodes well, as I'm about to head to Best Buy and see if they have it.

Also that must have been a pretty amicable divorce. :v:

This game already takes up 20% of my meager harddrive. With this and the content packs for cod and battlefield, 20 gigs just doesnt cut it anymore.

By the way, my gt is InvadeFranceNow if anybody wants to race sometime. I unfortunately have midterms today though... Ugggg

This is gonna be the best thing for dicking around, although I am a bit disappointed that they put an actual ball in; I like having a car as the 'ball' in 3. Granted this was mostly because by the time we'd get around to car soccer I'd be too drunk to do anything anyway, so I was always the ball so I didn't have to try and do things, but still :v:

Of course the BX on base doesn't have it in stock yet when I checked on my lunchbreak. I was all pumped to race a couple laps in the Cee'd before I had to go back to work. I guess I'll pick it up at Gamestop afterwards instead of waiting a few days and not paying tax.

Probably cancelling my current service and signing up with someone else since it will be cheaper at this point.

Pushing A on that message would cash in the voucher. It's confusing because it says "check the online bank to get the cash" and I spent half an hour looking for the bank in multiplayer menus. Eventually I pushed A and it gave me the money. Sorry. You're poor :(

I did. It's very tricky because it's all flat. Do a few sighting laps using chase camera before trying a fast lap from a cockpit view (because you do use only cockpit view, like a real man, don't you? :colbert: )

It's not very intuitive when it comes to telling you where it is.
Go to My Forza on FM.net and then view your ENTIRE gallery. There's a link on the right-hand side to download bigshot.bmp LOL GET READY FOR A 27MB BITMAP

There really ought to be a demolition derby-type game mode for this track online. Simulation damage, you lose when your engine reaches >80%, last man standing wins. I'd play the gently caress out of this.
