Forza just opened their store and they have a "Forza Motorsport 5: Paddock Edition - Exclusive, Limited to 3,000" package. It DOES NOT contain the game, but if you're into swag, it's kind of cool.

Price: $120 + shipping (which I've read is fairly high)

how is it an "edition" of forza 5 If it doesn't have the game my god turn 10 what a great way to make money and be penny pinching ****************. I'm sorry but that annoys me....
 
think of it as a "swag edition" - the store will have different things later. I don't see anyone upset at any other company for selling merch, what makes this different?

it's the way they call it "edition". But it isn't , it's merchandise like you said, as if they don't have enough money to make a good game anyway. When gran turismo and forza first came out there was no focus on trinkets and stuff it was all about the game, and I know that they needed to be well know for merchandise to be made but it still feels like selling out
 
While I agree with the improper use of "edition", saying they're selling out is nonsense. If all of the items were something I wanted, I would buy it because I really enjoy the Forza series and I don't mind supporting them in other ways.

it's just my opinion... :P
 
it's an edition of merchandise. the word "edition" is not owned by the gaming industry. It's very likely that none of the items in the pack will be available any other way, thus limited edition merchandise.

If the quality is as good as it says, that's actually a pretty sweet deal considering the normal price of a high quality pair of shades, a jacket, and a thermos. If I had the money and a need for any of that at the moment I'd be all over it.

I checked the website, it's called paddock "pack", so I feel better they didn't call it "edition" cos it isn't

Yeah, they changed it, apparently. I did a copy/paste from their site, so they must have realized "edition" was confusing people.

This is the second time I've seen rumors of several of these tracks being included. If this turns out to be true, this is going to be one hell of a game!

Yeah it should. Although this list was leaked a few months back. Every one that now has been confirmed was on the list.
 


Starting from Scratch: Building Forza 5’s New Car Roster

" And certain cars become stale. You don’t necessarily need every version of the Mustang, for example, in the game. Some of them aren’t that great. Some of them are really iconic and you need to have those in there, but if you’ve got the most current one from Forza 4, from 2011, then it gets replaced with a new one for 2014, do you really still need that 2011 one? We needed it then because it was new, but now maybe it turns out that it wasn’t that well-received and the new one’s all that; we may get rid of that 2011 then because who’s gonna want it?"I do not agree. I'm testing the cars in fm4 and the 2011 version and 2013, may differ significantly in behavior on the road and drivers philosophy. It is fascinating, but it is really necessary to 0000.1% of the players.As well as the differences between the settings car Us-spec, Eu-spec, Jp-spec

That Forza pack is very tempting. I got the Gran Turismo track-day jacket that was on the now deceased Boutique and the quality was top notch. Although the Standard lining let it down, could have upgraded it to Premium...

Was the lining all black?
