really, WTF? I know some things are worth the money but I can't imagine how that could possibly be worth $3000. Maybe if gave you a massage with a happy ending while you were playing games.... but what are the odds of that? Slim.
Dude that seems like a shit ton of money, but to many people that isn't shit. If nobody bought that chair, they wouldn't make it, think about it like that. It's nuts.
^Ah damn. It's nuts how I try so hard to get a good lap time and I think it's flawless. Then the race ends and I look at the scoreboard and I'm ranked 8000th and the first place guy did the race like 5 seconds faster. It doesn't sound like a lot but it is! It's nuts. I guess I'm not as good as I thought I was haha

I'm just trying to keep the thread fresh.And I agree. The race cars all all pretty much the same to me, in their classes anyways.
So my friend said at his high school some game developer came and had a bunch of 360s and shit out and you could play Forza 3. Not the demo, the actual game. I'm so pissed
Which wheel is that? I really want to get my hands on one, even if it's just the old school white one. And wtf the ship date is a month after the game comes out. Wack!

fanatec makes some of the nicer wheels around.
I have been eying this one as it supports all the platforms I own (ps3,xbox360, and pc). There is no way I'm buying another large peripheral unless it supports all three.

^Dang. I haven't really read into wheels at all. I love the controller, idk why. I think I would like the wheel at first and get sick of dragging it out and taking up space after a while.

Closing Comments
Forza Motorsport 3 is an exemplary racing game. It's beautiful, the controls are spot-on, the career mode is satisfying, and the multiplayer component is awesome. But there's still room to grow. The visuals could be even better, the career mode sags at times, and there needs to be at least one more option for AI difficulty. Even with those concerns, Forza 3 is a big step forward for sim racing games. Turn 10 has thrown down the gauntlet and it will be a real challenge for Polyphony Digital to deliver a superior racer with Gran Turismo 5. After all, this is the best racing game of this generation. Good luck topping it.
IGN Ratings for Forza Motorsport 3 (X360)
Rating Description
9.5 Presentation
A simple, but easy-to-use menu system, loads of options, and a British narrator. Score!
9.0 Graphics
Some great car models and it runs smoothly for the most part. The lighting isn't perfect, and neither are some of the damage effects.
9.0 Sound
The cars sound great, the crashes are okay, and the music is weak.
9.5 Gameplay
A fantastic racing game with superb controls. The only issues are the limited difficulty range and that the career mode gets tedious towards the end.
10 Lasting Appeal
A deep and engrossing career mode matched by highly customizable multiplayer.
9.4
Outstanding OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

^Yea wtf. I'm really surprised about that.
The car list is amazing but I wish they wouldn't include some of the manufacturers that only have one car. Saab's are cool I guess, but if you are only going to put one of them in the game, don't bother. Use that space and put in another Zonda or something.
I'm really looking forward to this.

DLC on Release Day!----->http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/For...y_One_DLC.aspx
^I really want to get put that '57 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa through it's paces
Car of the day:
Chevy, Dodge, and Ford Stock Cars (ew): http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/cod/stockcars.aspx
^I say "ew" to the stock cars because honestly I could care less about Nascar styled cars in Forza. I like Nascar, but I would rather whip around a GT3RS or Zonda all day over a piece of sheet metal with a big V8 up front. I guess I wish Forza was focused more towards production cars and a few F1 cars than Nascar styled cars. Just my
of course.

I'm not a fan of watching nascar, but if you gave me the chance to drive a solid axle v8 with a 4 speed around sears point (or whatever it is called now). I would shit my pants. Also some of my favorite games were papyrus's nascar series, just because of those cars with the road courses.
