mines been sent from jersey but i just know with all these strikes that i am not going to get it . my friend came into work the other day waving his forza 3 usb stick in my face. life is just so unfair sometimes.

So mine was dispatched yesterday... and has just arrived from the same place! Thought it wouldnt be here till next week!

 

[Skully]

Just got my codes through for my free cars...
Are they generic or one use only?

I got the following:
Audi R8: M7FJB-*****-D7PW2-YF***-G68VT
BMW M3 E92: JFPGC-*****-QTFJH-QJ***-GH6T

If anyone wants to check there codes and then if they are generic then I'll post the whole code so they can be used.

My R8 is different.

Hows the online play in this? Only got a silver account right now but considering upgrading to play this online and use the auctions...Last racing game I played online was GT5P and it was atrocious

 

[Davinnicus]

My R8 is different.

Both of my codes are different too. Both start with K, so it looks like one use codes.

 

[MrMoonX]

When people have had a bit of time with this game we should get some drag races going on.

Just pikced mine up from the depot. Was expecting a load of posties chanting and no body was there

 

[OCDan88]

I got my copy in the post this morning! Very surprised to see the postman. Played it for a few hours and I'm very impressed. Its the best racing sim I have played in a while!

Has anyone bought a car from the auction house and got the achievement for winning an auction by outbidding someone else? I did this last night, bought a car purely to get the achievement and it never popped, I outbid the guy about 7 times too!

Ah well, not too fussed but that's 40k spent for no reason

You have to outbid him at the last seconds.

I did, my last bid went in just as the auction ended and I won it.

Back to it I think, managed to hit lvl 15 yesterday

Nice to know our postie isn't one of those lazy, striking excrements though, ordered an Elite Rechargable battery pack about 5pm last night to go with my elite and its pads, and postie drops that ad my VGA gender changer through this morning, at least some of them have morals

Just got my R8 code now, too, all my Forza special edition cars (Charger stock Car, NSX, etc..) are showing in dealerships to buy for 200k a pop, might have to blow some of my 600k soon, I've been too tight and making the 300c do everything

 

[GreenMint]

I haven't raced yet in forza 3, i only had an hour and a half on it, so have started an OCUK design

You've gotta sell that please!

 

[Yas786]

Got my copy yesterday LE edition and also got the other copy today as well but sending it back as im not paying £55 for it when i got it for £40.

Had a play of it last night and i absolutely love it...although i hate the crappy cars u start off with though...saying that managed to upgrade my Fiat Abarth to 330bhp and that thing is pretty nippy...in fact too much power lol.

Had a free play so tried the Lambo Reventon...awesome car with awesome handling.

One thing i noticed in the Nissan range is that there is no new Skyline GTR...the latest model thats out that is...kinda confused me a bit as to why its not on there...the other skylines are there though....unless it needs to be unlocked.

All in all pretty awesome game...should have had more tracks really...most of them are the same from the last one with a few new ones...was kinda hoping that the NYC track from PGR4 would have been on there ie the one with the super long straights and also no London tracks either.

 

[GreenMint]

Sadly there is no stock R-35 GTR due to licensing, I think something to do with Polyphony Digital having worked on the main display for the R35, so it will probably be in as DLC sometime soon, although, there are race versions of it for now

 

[antijoke]

No GTR in Forza 3 (yet) other than GTR Race Cars. I wonder if they will release it as a DLC option.

 

[ljt]

You've gotta sell that please!

I haven't finished yet I'll put another pic up once I've finished it completely. I was thinking some intel/amd/ati/nvidia logos on it too

There is no new Skyline GTR. I'm guessing Polyphony Digitals involvement with some aspects of the GTR will stop this car from appearing in Forza. I'm not fussed really.

 

[DreXeL]

It's a shame the GTR isn't in the game, especially as it has appeared in the last few NFS games. Still, hardly the end of the world

Sweet! got home from work to find I got my FM3 LCE, I didn't think I would get it this week with the postal strike. From what I've been told there are no collections today and tomorrow there will be no delivery, just downloading the 500mb of dlc
