DO WANT
Kyle @ Jul 27th 2009 7:05PM
This game fails so hard compared to Gran Turismo... the only thing it has going for it is the Porsche 997
Cr4sh Dummy @ Jul 27th 2009 8:46PM
I pre ordered this, it's a great deal.
Akuma FTW @ Jul 27th 2009 3:34PM
I'd rather get the "unopened edition" from Bestbuy
MikeO. @ Jul 27th 2009 5:16PM
Have you never preordered a game from Gamestop? I've always had factory-sealed copies 100% of the time. The only time I don't get factory-sealed copies is when I wait like a month or more to buy one.
GANNONSMASH @ Jul 27th 2009 6:53PM
No matter how long you wait, you should ALWAYS get an unopened copy.
Granted, this has never happened to me, but it never should happen to anyone.
TexRob @ Jul 28th 2009 12:04PM
I agree. I really want this, but not if it means I have to buy it at GameStop. I haven't bought anything from them in years, and don't plan to start now. This is a very poor choice to give them exclusivity. True gamers, IMHO, know that GameStop is the devil. So to me, this alienates your core audience. I think Amazon or basically anywhere else would have been a better choice.

Sweet, I love Forza 2 but haven't got round to playing it in ages.
Will this game have the wonder that is the Bugatti Veyron?

Interesting....doubt I will get this version tho....

What's with the negatives in the gallery?
goboColossus (LIVE, PSN - gobopop) @ Jul 27th 2009 3:50PM
CMYK optimization be the culprit.
Captain Planet @ Jul 27th 2009 3:37PM
What? NO ART BOOK?!
/sarcasm
chris.rackley @ Jul 27th 2009 10:30PM
Ironically, this is an art book I'd actually dig. But yeah, glad they're going a different route besides the usual "making of" DVD and art book.
racingfreak92 @ Jul 27th 2009 3:38PM
Wow those are good VIP cars. Glad i preordered this version a moth ago (mainly for the flash drive)
sony boy @ Jul 27th 2009 3:45PM
I have to admit, the collector's edition looks cool.
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jul 27th 2009 3:58PM
Forza 2 Collector Edition was awesome,it really looked like well a collection item rather than a lunch box with random junk (Looking at you Halo wars and Assassins Creed) and this one looks even better,I can tell from here it is expensive.
I don't know if I get this one,Forza 2 was fantastic but racing games are not my thing.
Snowblind @ Jul 27th 2009 4:05PM
I loved the Fallout 3 one, and that was literally a lunch box with random junk.
But yeah, seems a lot of companies are just throwing out token collectors editions these days for the sake of making more money. This one at least looks really cool, but I suck at simulation racers, so I'll probably pass.
Kamal @ Jul 27th 2009 4:11PM
Just is real life, VIPs are the ones with moolah to burn. :(
John @ Jul 27th 2009 4:11PM
this game is so on my most wanted list
dextro @ Jul 27th 2009 4:13PM
Just a quick question: do you really need to buy the collector's edition to get those cars? Cause I really LOVE the Ferrari 430 Scuderia :(
jdkay20 @ Jul 27th 2009 4:13PM
nice, it has a cruzer crossfire flash drive. i'm happy to see they did not cheap out on the collectors edition.
Sean @ Jul 27th 2009 4:14PM
"personally hand-picked, tuned and painted by the team at Turn 10."
Wouldn't every car that comes with the game be personally hand-picked, tuned and painted by the team at Turn 10.
Just sayin...
Jared Mackenzie @ Jul 27th 2009 4:16PM
I want the keychain!
Uncontrol @ Jul 27th 2009 4:19PM
reserving in-game content to preorders is BS
i don't have a 360 but i'd love to get one and this game in the future, glad to know that i'll be missing content
typoink @ Jul 27th 2009 7:05PM
I wouldn't worry your head too much about it -- Forza 2 is going to be packed with cars as it is. I doubt you'll miss those five, especially since I'd wager that there will be very similar cars to each included on the disc.
CH3BURASHKA @ Jul 27th 2009 4:42PM
I'm not into car sim games, but the trailer looked so hawt. I'm confuzzered, whether or not to get it.
Dan @ Jul 27th 2009 4:43PM
Can we get this in the UK aswell?
Snowblind @ Jul 27th 2009 4:46PM
It's up for pre-order on Game and Play for £55.
Neither say what it actually comes with yet, but I imagine it's the same.
LegendaryRedass @ Jul 27th 2009 5:02PM
Sucks you gotta preorder just to get a ZR1. They got me.
Mics @ Jul 27th 2009 5:41PM
Holy crap, October 27th?? That's too soon. I thought realistic racing sims are supposed to take at least 5 years for development. Are we sure that this wasn't an announcement for a glorified demo of Forza 3?
why not the LS2LS7? @ Jul 27th 2009 5:44PM
Wait, you're telling me I can't get a ZR1 unless I buy from gamestop?
Fuck you, Microsoft.
Mazrael @ Jul 27th 2009 5:48PM
So.. tempted now..
9600baud @ Jul 27th 2009 5:59PM
what? gamestop only? why limit your exclusive to the very store thats killing your profits ;)
TheE3Guy @ Jul 27th 2009 6:39PM
>In addition, the company has also revealed the final details of the Limited Collector's Edition of the game, which will be available only at GameStop.

FUCK
shuref00t @ Jul 27th 2009 6:47PM
Corvette ZR1 = done deal!
Ah, but I hate that this pre-order is with GameStop only.
Bobs @ Jul 27th 2009 9:02PM
So would I be able to get this from EB Games in Canada? I'd hate to miss out on this one.
alienterrorist @ Jul 27th 2009 9:39PM
Whenever I go to EB they have everything thats also for Gamestop. Its because they are the exact same store only it has a different name here in Canada.
HAVOKK @ Jul 28th 2009 12:04AM
So now you can buy VIP status on the forums? What about earning it like the old days... I hope they dont f*** with the online community because thats what keeps this franchise moving.
Griffin2111 @ Jul 27th 2009 9:28PM
WTF? Why is every game that comes out has exclusives "only at Gamestop?" This is getting stupid!
alienterrorist @ Jul 27th 2009 9:37PM
I'n not really one to get special and limited editions but I'm really diggin this!
Gnoll @ Jul 27th 2009 10:07PM
No 1978 Volvo 244GLE? Dang, again my hopes of a Volvo of Despair are destroyed!
I only owned Forza 2 because it came with my 360, but I ended up liking it a lot more than I thought. Probably not enough to shell out the cash for a collectors edition, but enough to really want one :(
Bobs @ Jul 27th 2009 9:57PM
Yeah but there have been a few things in the past that never wound up in Canada.
I guess those were exclusive U.S release candidates.
