[Englebert]

lol...

Torn by room upside down but i can't play it without the 1st installation disc and it's nowhere

 

[dajones]

any news on when the next dlc will appear?

 

[JoeyD]

I think this is the latest:

Hi everyone,

Recently, we’ve seen a lot of speculation about the status of the second Jalopnik add-on pack and I wanted to clarify some things.

On the most recent episode of the Forza Pitpass Podcast, we mentioned that our car production schedule had changed in order to accommodate the upcoming release of the Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection. Essentially, we moved ten cars (including the three cars that make up the Stig’s Garage Pack) up in order to include exclusive content in the Ultimate Collection. As a result, the Jalopnik pack was pushed back in our production schedule.

Currently our intention is to make the second Jalopnik pack the next available add-on pack. Though we are targeting December, we haven’t announced a specific release date for a number of reasons, the most important of which is that the content has yet to be submitted or passed through certification. Essentially, we don’t want to promise a release date if we’re not 100 percent certain we can meet that goal.

While I understand the frustration that the Jalopnik delays have caused, I’m glad to say that it will be available in the near future. Stay tuned for more soon and thanks for reading.

Mint video!

Really want the SLS, LFA & CCX to try out; are they available for download yet?

 

[Turkish]

Nope, I'd bet they will release it sooner or later (I bought the limited edition on the promise the additional cars were limited content) and sure enough T10 release it as a pack several months later. I suspect that the extra cars on the new copy of the game out in the shops will end up appearing on XBL for download at some point.

 

[JoeyD]

Same here, looks like they're already onto it again...

Forza Ultimate - Sample. This sample contains one car from the Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection: the 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder. In-game credits required to purchase this car in Season Play. The Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection contains cars from all Forza Motorsport 3 DLC packs, and seven exclusive cars only available in the Ultimate Edition, including: the 1971 Chrysler Plymouth Cuda 426 Hemi, 1956 Jaguar D-Type and 1982 Lancia 037 Stradale. The Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection is available for purchase at your local retailer.

I imagine that'll be a full car pack soon enough

You can get Forza 3 for free if you subscribe to Top Gear Magazine.

if you click this link and enter the promo code "TGP1310" you can not only get the game for "free" you also get a years subs to top gear magazine for £25 and change

 

[Turkish]

I'd wager the 5 missing cars will probably be a couple of the best and we'll be stuck with s**t like the El Camino and Delorean in place of the 190E and the RS500.

 

[Matt Cup]

Hope not, but your probably right.

I prefer if they keep the 2002, Merc, two Cossies, Lancia and the Volvo. Not arsed about the rest.

 

[Alex H]

Some car pack cars appeared... f**king expensive though...

 

[quik97]

wtf thats stupid you actually buy all 10 cars for real?

 

[JoeyD]

Some car pack cars appeared... f**king expensive though...

Indeed. Pissed me off really, since they seem to be penalizing people who bought the game on release...

Gets more people interested in the series though I guess.

 

[Reev]

4.3 billion MS points does seem a tad steep.

 

[Hixle]

[Turkish]

What was cut? Looks like the important ones (190E, sierra, de tomaso, 250 Cali and 2002) stayed so I'll no doubt download it

 

[Hixle]

Can't believe I beat you to it mate! Lol.

1984 BMW M635CSi
1986 Dodge Shelby Omni GLHS
1988 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R
1992 GMC Syclone
1982 Lancia 037 Stradale

Yeah, looks a decent pack tbh - really looking forward to the 190E

 

[quik97]

cut the escort cosworth too

 

[Christopher]

^ FUUUUUUUUUUUU

That was the one I was most looking forward to.

 

[Hixle]

^

Aye, didn't even spot that it'd been cut :dapprove:

Cut for a f**king Delorean.

 

[Chris n nic]

[Hixle]

[Christopher]

Manmoths

 

[Hixle]

Will do mate. How sad for a friday night, eh? Lol.

 

[Turkish]

Couldn't give a f**k about the escort tbh, pissed about the starion, the 037 is in the ultimate edition IIRC so not exactly cut just used elsewhere.

 

[Alex H]

Looking forward to these - already saving credits for a 190E Sclass

 

[Turkish]

Saving? I've got about 10 mill sat about despite being a dick and doing the collector achievement after having bought all the packs including the exotics one, doh!

 

[Alex H]

lol...

Torn by room upside down but i can't play it without the 1st installation disc and it's nowhere

Is it just the installation disc you need? Can borrow mine via post if you want.

 

[JoeyD]

Is the carpack on Live yet?
Anyone got it?

 

[Turkish]

Nope no sign of it yet. Appears Microsoft have dropped a bollock and not loaded it on to their servers yet. :dapprove:

 

[Matt Cup]

C**ts!

 

[Turkish]

You're telling me, I was off work today (coincidence not planned to correspond with the pack) pissed off that it didn't appear as I would have been hammering the RS500 and 190E hours ago had it been online to download.

 

[Alex H]

From Forza forums...

Turn 10 are experiencing a serious issue with the latest car pack, meant to go live today, 14th December 2010 at 400MS Points
The 'Community Classic Car pack' chosen via voting at the Jalopnik website included some great classic cars to be added to the Forza Motorsport 3 game, one of these cars was the Delorean DMC-12, famous for it's role in the 'Back To The Future' movie series.
Last minute testing of the car pack by one of the Turn 10 team hotlappers found that the DMC-12's flux capacitor could be activied in-game, and was therefore posting times on leaderboards in minus figures, as one of the staff from Turn 10 hit Motegi GP today, and crossed the line in 1972.
More on this as it unfolds...

 

[Turkish]

They're saying they're working on it now and hope to have it up soon. Pity my Sky broadband is steam powered and now every prick local to me will be jamming up the line and slowing it to a crawl, I suspect it will take 2 hours to download even if it gets put on the market place in the next couple of minutes.

 

[Christopher]

Hurry the f*ck up! I want to have a blast with the usuals before bed.
