ok, so to clarify, does this extend to the “LE” cars aswell?
cause i know the limited ed is supposed to have 10 or so extra cars, and then the classic cars aswell.

your heading should have been -

No Forza 3 DLC – for NON live supported coutries.

as it is not just us.

this is a response to plasma from microsoft
Hello Plasma280,

We appreciate your feedback and value your opinion.
Unfortunately Live related content cannot be included with XBox consoles in countrys that do not support XBox Live.

Microsoft se Poes.

We’ll just order by other means, take more money away from the economy, and shaft the poor local retailers who as it seems to be more and more often the case, are not the ones actually pushing the prices.

If the product wasn’t this good, I would just do without.

Oh dear, no censor filter

To clarify, you will get NO FREE DLC cars with either edition of the game. NOTHING.

Will we still get disc two?

So no LE cars, and also no Day 1 DLC pack (the one with classic cars and additional tracks?)

This is the most pathetic thing I’ve EVER heard of. Definately cancelling my order. If this content was multiplayer only content (like a map pack in GoW2 for example) I MIGHT understand their reasoning, but this is just additional content and can be used in offline mode as well.

A thread was made on the official Forza 3 forums and was locked very quickly. Seems they have no sympathy and don’t care either.

Its because we are African!

LOL.

Not so sure about that pure local retailer comment. Seems they’re in on the Astroglide action.I came across a disti pricelist recently where new titles were advertised at R410 with a RRP of R599. So a respectable 50% marku[ for the retailer. Imagine my surprise when I walked into my local Xbox retailer of the year to see it adverised for R699. We get shafted from all end I’m afraid – maybe after government sorts out the Cell Phone operators they’ll give us gamers a break too

It’s a damn shame! Forza 3 is gonna be sooo good! I’m still getting it cos I wasn’t gonna buy the LCE anyway.

When will you guys see the light and tell ms where to stick it… How much longer will they have to mess u around

Once again Microsoft skrew us over. To anyone thinking of getting an X-Box, my advice is DONT!

Microsoft Launch a product in SA, claiming Live will follow, here we are, like 4 years later, and We’re not only still waiting for it, we’re also getting skrewed in the process.

F*uK you microsoft, I’m making it my personal mission to convince potential x-Box buyers to move to the PS3 instead.

Hi,

Please take note of the direct response from MicrosoftSA:

Forza Motorsport 3 limited collector’s edition for the South African market does not contain any of the downloadable elements found in the version advertised on international websites & where the Live service is available . The DLC is not promoted locally and all retailers selling this product have been made aware of this far in advance of launch .Live has not launched in South Africa at this point and as a result downloadable content which relies on users having legitimate access to the service is excluded from the content of the collector’s edition .

Legislation and a ruling by the Advertising Standards Authority prevents us from utilizing Live branding on local versions of the game until such time as the service is available in country . The inclusion of Live branding and Live related content would imply that the service is available locally and could be construed as being misleading .

Forza 3 is a best in class racing title and the inherent features and options found in both the core and Limited collectors editions will provide one of the best racing experiences ever encountered on a next gen console .
