AVforums. There's a thread in the Xbox section where you can ask for a 48 hour code and some kind soul might just have one spare. I have to say though, plenty of people sign up just to get a code and don't often get one. I've been a regular poster for years so hopefully I will :)

Why not just create a new Xbox account on your 360 and use the months worth of Live to get the demo?

TBH, this whole paying-for-online-gaming-and-selected-downloads crap is the primary reason my Xbox lies relatively untouched in the living room while I game on my PC upstairs.

I don't want to get in depth over this again, but if I could get the same level of online service across the board on PC as I do on Xbox360 for the small fee of £25-£40 for a year, then I would.

Desmo

Got one now, but been told the 48 hour codes, although Gold, don't allow for downloads, just playing online. Might give it a whirl anyway and see what happens.

Daz
24-09-2009, 15:03
Actually I heard that as well. Your gamertag doesn't actually turn gold, you remain silver bug flagged as allowed to play online (like they do on Games for Windows).

1 track, Camino Viejo de Montserrat (tight course up in the mountains, 1.8m, 2 laps) and 5 cars, Mini John Cooper Works, Evo X GSR, Ferrari California, Audi R8 V10, 911 GT-3 RSR

Looks very pretty, cars drive well and there are enough driver aids to make all but the most ham fisted go quickly right from the start.

Probably only a couple of hours gameplay so those who were planning to wait to upgrade their XBox Live subs may want to wait.

Desmo
24-09-2009, 21:28
Cheers Del. Think I'll wait a week rather than renew my subs now.

Desmo, try this (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d53084d/?p=1&of=6&bt=0&sb=1&did=0ddf0001-0000-4000-8000-00004d538861) link. I'm told it works will all gold accounts, including trials.

Desmo
25-09-2009, 07:37
No joy, I follow the download link and the next page says "You currently have Xbox Live Gameplay" so it's still not allowing the download.

Just pre-ordered this from Blockbuster of all places. Forza 3 Limited Edition (think it comes with car code, keyring and USB pen drive) for £39.99. Think you also get 3 or 5% quidco on that too. Seems to be the best price around.

Aye, I'm happy with that. No idea how on good they are with their despatch times but I can wait a day or two :)

Played the demo last night and I'm really liking the new menu style. Really clean and crisp. Nice amount of cars to play about with in the demo and the game is looking stunning. Can't wait now :D

The only problem I have with getting my review copy through is that it means getting the LE version (which I wanted) really isn't a sensible idea. Shame really as I fancied the extra cars and VIP stuff. Might pick it up in a few months if it goes cheaper.

Mine was posted, did you order from blockbusters, it just came in a brown box, is about as big as a vhs tape.

What does the LE actually include and is it much more expensive than regular edition? Sales monkey in Game couldn't answer either when I popped in to pre-order so have the option of normal or LE.

Matblack
24-10-2009, 10:12
Well I have to say the guys at Turn 10 certainly do their research

I slapped a 1.5 limited slip diff, upgraded air filter and upgraded suspension on a MINI and took it out and it drives very much like my car, the turn in and acceleration out of the corners feel very familiar, it's slightly down on power to fit into the E class at the moment but I'll add all the JCW tweaks and make the power the same as my car when I get a chance

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2623/miniez.jpg

When you come to your first R3 race rather than buy an expensive R3 car I would suggest taking the Audi R8 and upgrading it to an R3 car, it needs a slight tweak to the downforce and the suspension set up and it handles really well :)

You can tell how good this game is by your friends list, Earlier 9 of my freinds were on & 7 of them were playing Forza 3, Just about Everyone I know has this game. :cool:
Had my first online race yesterday & won it. :shocked: Lucky yes but I was there to take advantage of my luck, Had 4 races & won 2 of them & placed in the others. Online is as smooth as silk for me & I can't wait till everybody has finished with single player & goes Multi. :cool:

I just can't believe how complete it is, First you have the little boys dream of buying your cars/painting/modding, Then you have the Superb single player to fall in to & then after that you have the silky smooth online racing to indulge in. In between all this you have the feeling that every gamer in the world is busying themselves racing, buying, modding motors to show & race in the near future.
I am literally as Happy as a Pig in 5hit. :cool:

Yoinked, thanks Daz :D

I impulsively bought this yesterday in Tesco (£29.87 in case anyone's after it!) and been fortunate enough to be able to spend a good 6-7hrs with it today.

I'm really enjoying it but I am starting to wonder if it's really worth the price for me. Already started to notice a few tracks repeating themselves and I've just got a feeling it's the sort of game that I'll play obsessively for a few days but that's it. Bit like Forza 2 I guess which I was the same with.

Anyway, certainly the best driving sim on the 360 :) Just perhaps not a 'keeper' for me.

If you redeemed the code then that theme would be seen as "free", so in essence, it did work, just not how it was intended.
