if you havent purchased a g27 yet, then buy a Fanatec steering wheel instead since it works for both 360 and ps3

Pretty hot deal, Toys R Us has it for pre-order for $37.47. Got it for $47 after shipping and taxes.

Add any other game or DVD movie and get free shipping ($4.50).

Xbox 360 - Forza Motorsport 4 - Microsoft - Toys"R"Us

just tried out the demo, wow they really upped the graphics this time.
Sharper and the colours are a lot better. Sound has a bigger boost from the cars they have in the demo, esp the Sti. Day one purchase here, too bad toysrus doesn't have a cheap price on the LE.

Forza>GT

I used to be a PS3 and GT Fanboy......Then I got an Xbox for free and got Forza 3..... that's when I realized how awesome that game was......

If you don't have an Xbox, get one just for this game. You'll never look at GT5 the same again. Buy a used old style xbox for <$100.

Yeah...awesome in graphic department....

IMO it fell short EVERYWHERE else in comparision to Forza. I gotta admit, I never played a Forza game because I was just anti xbox. After playing Forza 3, can never play GT anymore (unless they really step up the fun factor). But GT5 took this long to get released.... I'm like 2 hours into GT5, havent touched it since launch day. I've finished Forza 3.

I could rant on about GT5 forever. All that hype.

I spent $800 +tax for PS3 anticipating GT5....who knows how many years later it comes out and it just bombed in my opinion. If I never played Forza 3, I'd probably be talking about how awesome GT5 is.

Bah....


FORZA 4 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

make sure you guys check what kind of car you guys can get if you pre-order!
I only pre-ordered from FS/BB because if you pre-order from them you get an exclusive BMW 1M

not sure about toysrus tho

edit: heres the car list for pre-orders: http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/FM4...der_Announced/

Ugh Fanatec.

I tried to organize a big purchase of Fanatec products for RS members awhile ago. They have got to be the WORSSSSSSSSSSSSSST company to try and deal with. Disorganized as fuck.

You email, call, leave voice mails and no one replies for WEEKS. Then they call you back in odd hours, leave you a message and tell you to call their US office which again you email, call, etc and NO ONE replies for awhile. THen when you finally get a hold of someone, they say they'll email you more info and never get to it. I gave up after almost a month of trying to buy their products.

I've heard horror stories about trying to get warranty. They're too hard to reach and offer little to no support. In the beginning they're were on all the gaming forums endorsing their products, seemed like a good small company to deal with. Once they developed it, seems like no one can buy it or ever get it serviced.

Personally I would never spend so much money on a wheel that I can't get any sort of customer service with. The fucking thing breaks in one week you have a $400+ paper weight.

I'll wait til logitech developes something one day. I played forza3 with the normal controller and had tons of fun as is.

I looked into something like this around the time of Forza 3, and heard it barely worked. I wonder if a year or so later whether it's improved. The price seems to have come down too.

Edit: Found this review
"I bought this, to play with my G27 on forza 3. Firstly, a Wired Xbox360 controller is required, THIS IS not indicated anywhere , on the box or on the manual !!!!!

Secondly, the H Gearbox and the clutch is not supported

Thirdly : the deadzone is too large !"
