Forza 3 Limited Edition comes with 'VIP Membership' status

by Griffin McElroy on Jun 10th 2009 1:30PM

If you're willing to drop bundles of real-life cash for a bit of virtual notoriety, Turn 10 has got a deal that should tickle your unusual fancy. The U.S. Gamestop-exclusive limited edition bundle for Forza Motorsport 3 will hit store shelves in October, selling at $79.99, and giving its purchasers a 2GB USB dongle, a few extra cars, a dashboard theme and a "Forza Motorsport VIP Membership."

What does this exclusive title give you? According to the Gamestop listing, the benefits of being a Very Important Person include "special treatment within the online Auction House, Community Storefront and on the Forzamotorsport.net forums," as well as five additional exclusive vehicles. The type of "special treatment" offered is still unknown, but our money's on virtual sensual footrubs.

I don't get this part 2GB USB dongle what exactly are they going to give me?

Who knows, maybe it'll let you install the second disc.

I thought it was just a regular flash drive, maybe with some Forza related decals on it.

It will most likely just be a flash drive advertising the game.
Saints row had one, and The Sims 3 did too.

Idc what the special edition includes
i've decided i'm still going to get it
this is probably at the top of my most wanted games this year list.

you know i am starting to hate this pre-order/ buy here gimmick that stores have going on. why the hell do some people get an advantage for buying a game earlier than others or get something that no one else can have just because they bought it at a different place.

I know it doesn't have much to do with a limited edition or anything it just bugs me.
GOW2 had the gold gun(which was pointless)
one of the call of duty games started you out with the m1 grand
another game boosted your multiplayer stat to start at a higher level than others.
plus everything gamestop is doing

its just getting stupid.

Look at those low textures on the ground...

don't you see that the car is moving, and it gives that blurry effect
god ps fanboys are dumb

I meant "low res" textures. My mistake.

@ sickness

So he's automatically a PS fanboy now for criticizing the game? Someone likes to make broad assumptions.

i guess it's true, but it's not the first time i've heard people criticizing the "low textures"

Have you seen the low res textures? I don't buy that blurry effect.

Just so you know- I don't own a PS3 and I own a 360. I will not be picking this game up though.

"2GB USB dongle"?

Do they mean a flash/thumb/USB drive?

I always considered a dongle, a Bluetooth dongle, to add Bluetooth compatiblity, or something else along those lines...

i believe so.....

Dongle sounds funny. LOL dongle! ... I have always called these things flash drives... sorry I just had to make that remark heh. XD

Have they announced support for any better wheels than the Microsoft one?

Logitech G25 support would be a good step in the right direction.

Ya, the Fanatec Porsche wheel. Too bad they're limited edition and the wait list is ridculous. Hopefully they produce a high quality unlimited release.

This is retarded

These pre-orders "bonuses" are getting retarded.

thank you. what if people dont have the money when it first comes out? its lame

Well, they are giving you 4 months to pay it off... The way I look at it, pre order it now and you can put 20 bucks a month on it until it comes out. That's what I always do. Plus I put my old crap towards it too. Just need to find out who has the better deals between GS and Wally world.

The extra vehicles are just going to be released to everyone after a few months, if not sooner than that.

not necessarily, there were "easter egg" cars in forza 2 that they never released to everyone.

I kinda really want this... And i feel bad about it. =|

They're giving me EVEN MORE cars!?

Sounds like a good deal.
