Yeah they closed it, I tried it the other day to get COD Legacy edition. Luckily you can still get codes directly through the MS Singapore store with Paypal though and they are sent digitally.

Select the store region you bought it from at the bottom on the site and you see when it unlocks for you.
Ahhh I see, luckily I didn't buy it from a different region!
Should say down the bottom of the page
Well if I'm not wrong somewhere in my math that would make the ultimate edition costs somewhere around 91 euros. I'm not doing this to save 8 buck.
Thats correct yeah. Thats why standard edtions are always good on the Singapore store. Because they are 70 SG. And you just get a 50 and 20SG gift card.

Midnight for me in the UK, so about 11 hours and 48 minutes. Not that I'm counting or anything like that, lol.

My Vanilla version has been dispatched already! Will I be able to play it when it turns up?

You might have to install it and launch in offline mode. I had to do that with H5 otherwise the system would lock it.

I've had this problem. Lost a unique Jaguar Horizon Edition car because of it. I thought it was because I was switching from Xbox to PC. Glad it's not that. I'll put FH3 down until I get the update. 78 hours in, I think I can afford a day or two of no racing.
That Singapore love.
God damn it!, I was going to get it from there, but they only accept bloody paypal.

So do you need to change your region settings in Windows for it to unlock?

When are Warthog codes supposed to be launched for people who diligently played Halo MCC and Halo 5?

He got permed?
Rocketz said probably around 1pm EST. I just messaged the images to them recently, so everything should be ready to go.

Well where did you read that?
All that's left is a Forza Horizon 3 club thread.
Have fun.
Just getting through the intro section now, hopefully won't be long before I'm into non-demo territory

What will happen if I cancel my German preorder and buy it again in NZ? Where do you see that?

Is buying gift cards the only way to buy from a different region?

It will unlock just fine, during the time between the refund and the new purchase the files stays there but you don't own the game so you won't be able to launch it, so you won't need to redownload everything.
I did that with Gears of War Ultimate Edition last year, bought it from my local store (France) and forgot to look at the unlock date, talked a bit on the Xbox chat and got a refund, then I bought it immediately from another store (HK I think) and I could play ^^
On the NZ store page, it change the date to match your local time : https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/store/p/forza-horizon-3-ultimate-edition/9nblggh4rq2x

You could do that in Forza Motorsport 6. There was an achievement for running the car dry.
Do I need to switch Region on the console to unlock it?
edit: could you use the refund money to directly buy it in the other store?

No, my console is always in the French region and games unlock at HK time if I bought it from there.
It works also on PC, ReCore unlocked early on both as I bought it on the HK store.
I bought FH3 on the HK store too, so it will unlock when I get back home, in 3h30 (6PM CEST).
Edit : money is tied to the store, so you won't be able o use it on another one.
But if you paid with a credit card, they should refund directly to your bank.
I guess when I cancel the preorder, I will have the money in my wallet and can't transfer it back to my bank account then.
edit: paid with PP
Thanks for the answers
What's the best way to get credits for the HK or NZ store btw?
Xcell Miguel

I never bought on the NZ store, but for HK I buy gift cards on Play-Asia. Just change the region on the Xbox website when you redeem the code (or it will just say the code is not for your current region).
That is legit awesome.
Jup the store for this release takes 12 est as releastime for US.

I think that was also in the two previous games, just enable full sim damage and fuel will be consumed (just like the Forza Motorsport games)
In Forza Motorsport 6 they also added a new damage setting to just allow fuel and tires and not have mechanical damage, it was not the Forza Horizon 3 demo bu I hope they add it to the full game.
