Speaking as a Kiwi, you may be shit out of luck. Due to our overly inflated prices down here (the ultimate edition is $150 here), there's nobody looking for NZ game cards to get games cheaper. Furthermore, the online retailers don't get codes, they just get the cards with the codes on them. They then just send you the actual card.
How much should I redeem for the Ultimate Edition? I can see that the price is 639 HKD on the store, but I wonder if there's tax or something.
I already preloaded the game on PC, I assume that getting a refund and then buying again immediately from the HK store would allow me to play the game right away?
HK release is in 3 hours.
That's what I'm currently trying. I'm in a chat with MS but the rep needs to get the OK from someone first. HK unlocks in 3 hours tho.

Could someone please explain Play Anywhere for Forza Horizon 3? If i buy the XBox One version, do I get a separate code for PC? Or is the game tied to my Microsoft account?
Basically, I want to know if I can buy the standard edition for XBox One and the sell the code for the PC version.

Right. Hmm. Tempting. I bought the game from the US store so it unlocks for me at 7 AM my time tomorrow (4 PM now), although I just got back from work and started my weekend so I could use the extra evening. Temptation tempts the temptee...
No code involved. If you buy the digital version (any version — standard, deluxe, or ultimate) you get the PC version in your account. Only for the digital version.

Digital only. Tied to your account.
Nothing to sell, nothing for retail copies.

There's no tax there
If you have a PayPal account the best and cheaper way is to get 300 HKD on Play-Asia for example and pay the rest with PayPal (you can't use just PayPal on the Xbox Store, it will just fail).
edit: got it.
It worked. Bought the game in HK store. whoop whoop
edit2: when I look at the German store page, it tells me it unlocks the game at midnight like before and not in 3 hours...
Don't worry, just look at the store where you bought it, not the "wrong" store

Got ya! I even got the money back to my paypal account. Fantastic. Love the MS support.
Damnit!
Where do you see that?
on the Singapore store page of Forza Horizon 3.

OK, finished up Mr. Robot, now time to play this damn game.
Also if anyone's interested, I can whip up a gaf club for the game.

How do you re-fuel?

Where / how do you refuel though. Seems a bit pointless.
There was an option in the demo to "respawn"(or something like that) your car. This could do it.
You lucky bastard.
When's the OT going up guys?
Will make it easier to keep up with all the chat rather than switching between 5/6 different threads like now hehe!
Arround 1pm EST.
How's the intro?
Rocketz told me they're shooting for 1pm EST, probably earlier though; everything is ready to go on it.When's the OT going up guys?

I'm new to Forza, but after seeing the videos/gifs/positive reaction etc it looks like it may be my first racing game not named Mario Kart or Fzero. I got the demo and it was really good until I saw the tuning options... I don't understand anything of this and I will never have the time to learn this and use it. Is it necessary to be better in Forza?
Is this game accesible for a new player? I prefer arcade racers much more. It would be sad for me if a game that looks so incredible as this was buried under simulation gameplay and features.
Basically, is it easy to learn? And... can I completely avoid and ignore these complicated tuning features and still have success and enjoy the game?
Sorry for my English.

Tomorrow will be a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG day.
Finished up Horizon 1 last night in preperation for this, got riled up, FUCK Darius Flynt.
I screwed up the final corner of the race to win his car (carried on down the road where I should've took the off ramp) so I had to restart and after that I couldn't catch him, must have tried at least 5 times with me not being able to catch him at all, had to whack it down to easy just to finish it up.

Gonna do all my races at night in heavy rain. NFS 2015 style.
FailRace on YouTube did a video where he took part in a cross-country race, in pitch black, with V8 Supercars. Completely insane and inappropriate, but it looked crazy fun. I love that you can do that stuff now.
Did FH2 have any cross country races set at night? I don't remember.

yes, but i might be remembering storm island
The most positive feedback was given for the upside down text.
You don't need to know any of that to have fun, you can quite easily ignore all the greasy bits and have a blast.

i couldnt ever get into racing games. especially sim racers like forza. i really tried and wanted to love them but never could.
then i played horizon 1.
now im basically a junkie under a bridge asking passerbyers "hey....pssst....you got any...horizon 3 i could have?"

i want to add to this too, oops bare with me.
horizon is the game you want it to be. if it feels too hard or too sim like, mess with the settings. you dont need to know what they do just mess with them. you can really get the whole game to play exactly like you want it to.

I just woke up and I got everything I need. Give me 30 minutes or so
Sweet, thanks to everyone who put work in on this, really appreciate it!
