I buy 99% of my games through best buy GCU as well but I went digital for Forza 6 thanks to the Sugar Crisps promo running in US stores. Buy a box of Sugar Crisps with the correct front cover (it says save $10 on microsoft games) and its $10 off a $25 digital xbl credit from microsoftstore.com. I bought 8 of em so $200 of xbl credit for $120, or $100 F6 ultimate for $60 which is a pretty good deal for a day zero digital game.

In my area safeway is running a sale on Post cereal, $1.79 a box but its a big YMMV of course on what the price is in your area or if they even have the cereal boxes with the microsoft promo still there. Its ONLY the yellow Post Sugar Crisps

and no i didn't eat the cereal and get diabeetus, kept one to try out (its gross) and donated the rest.

Thanks for that man. I dont like buying digital, because i cant resell the game later, so i was trying to find some Xbox live cards for cheap today and was trying to justify the Ultimate Edition purchase, so off to a bestbuy tomorrow to cancel my pre-order, and then Kroger or Walmart

The things I wanted brought in to 6 were fairly common requests so am feeling they will bring review scores down a little but definitely think it will score excellently.

Games with heaps of content normally do, regardless of quality (for the most part). Not saying Forza isn't quality, but T10 could wrap a turd in tinfoil and as long as it had 500+ cars, it would review well.

Well the 360 Modena didn't make it so I began to worry for a second there but then I realized that the Z8 is still in so I'll be expecting good scores...

Errr I don't think any reviewer is going to drastically change their score because of that.

Depends on who the reviewer is and how much importance they place on things like a customisable experience. Because that's not really what Forza is.

I just noticed something. The Ten Year Anniversary Car Pack only comes with digital pre-orders. Yet another thing to screw over physical copy buyers. I wonder how much they'll charge us for this (likely) on disc DLC.

It's just a bunch of promo liveries, as are the pre-order cars elsewhere. Their only appeal is exclusivity, so Turn 10 likely won't release them to the marketplace because nobody would buy them anyway.

It sounds like you seem to think Forza 5 ran at 30 fps?

I was one of the many who had the problems with FPS during the Lemans runs and other various areas where it dropped below and then had issues later on as well with tons of stuttering and FPS hitches, as did the other person on my channel with a separate XBOX.. So, to me at least, this one is ACTUALLY locked :) And I tried to break it. The digs at variable framerate in the video are actually directed at my ire towards Forza 5

Wow.

Really surprised by Justin Towell's review and score.

The whole losing control when accelerating and rolling the car bit and blaming it on the physics is kind of funny.

The Ten Year Anniversary Car Pack comes with every edition of FM6 both digital and retail and is not bound to any pre-order. It will always come with the game. Retail copies have a code inside!

Ohhh, nice!

The wording on the store page ("Available when you purchase a Forza Motorsport 6 digital bundle (Standard, Deluxe, or Ultimate Edition)") is sure to rile up irritable people such as myself though lol. It really makes it sound like it's digital only.

Pre-ordered the deluxe edition from the Russian Xbox store after buying enough Russian gift cards. Wish I had ordered the Ultimate edition now.

Anyone know if it's possible to cancel the pre-order, have the gift cards re-added to my account so that I can upgrade my purchase?

Phone Xbox support. They are apparently OK with this.

I rated it a Buy. Easily the most fun Forza I have played yet and I have played every single one.

Fantastic review as always man. Great work. I can tell you put the hours into this game. I appreciate you commenting on the smaller details. They are really important.

Played the demo last night. I've been playing a tonne of 5 lately. Mods are a really fucking cool idea! Wet weather plays way better than I had imagined. Is it always raining or can there be a wet track without rain?

I was already fully on board after reading the feedback here but playing it myself I found I was really surprised by how fun it is. The emblems for drivatars are nice to see too.
