Thanks to some folks who actually have access to the game, a list has been completed of all the bonus cars earned for progressing through the 50 driver levels in the career mode of the game. Have a look on tab three of my spreadsheet to make sure you don't buy cars you don't have to:http://forza.norm302.com/fm3/FM3cars.xls

The with past weeks release of the full car list, there was also an announcement of new DLC which will be available on launch day. Presumably, this is an effort to differentiate the retail market from the resale market, as only the purchasers of new games will have access to the one time activation code for the cars and tracks.Car list PR: http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/ForzaMotorsport3/

Che Chou, Community Manager over at Turn 10 Studios, has indicated that he will be posting more shots of a new car a day. I'm not sure if they will be consistently posted in the same place. Perhaps the Neogaf forums, the .net site, or wherever. At least they'll always be on ForzaCentral.com within a few minutes of them being posted.Che has also indicated that there will be another major reveal

I just added the features page today. I'm just trying to establish the structure at this point so I can create the right flow through the site. I might fill in the key main sub pages tonight if I don't fall asleep first.

I added the first version of the cars page today. No sub pages at this point. I want to see a bit more of the list before I go down that road, to limit the amount of duplication of effort.As always, let me know what you think.

I started to develop a track page based on the previous pages from my other two Forza sites. You can find the link from the main page of the site or go here: http://forza.norm302.com/fm3/tracks.html

Thanks to the folks at ForzaCentral.com (in particular BADNED and CamaroBoy69), I've finally started the Excel spreadsheet with all the details on all the cars in the game that have been announced thus far. There's a link at the top of the main page of my FM3 site.There are a number of these which may have been reviewed for the making of the game or to publicize it but may not actually end up in

For anyone wondering where my FM3 fansite is, I'm still in the planning stages. I jsut need to find a level of detail that gives readers what they need without taking hundreds of hours to produce. I hope to start soon.

It looks like the North American Platinum Hits version of the game is going to be an incredible bargain. Here's the press release: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/news/2008/0819-forza2platinum.htmIt includes the retail game plus all the downloadable cars and tracks, plus the three Limited Edition cars and the preorder 350Z for only $19.99, which I believe would close to the price for just the

I was looking through some of the upcoming titles for the 360 and noticed what appears to be a listing for the Platinum Hits version of Forza Motorsport 2.http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=72241The only details it provides are that it is a 2-disk version of the game. Anyone's guess what might be on the second disk, my guess is the typical making of movies. Given the

Unfortunately there was no announcement today. Microsoft did announce a number of great new features for the 360 that I look forward to trying when they launch later in the year.I guess this give me more time to figure out a plan of attack for my Forza Motorsport 3 site.

Well, we're almost there. the keynote is tomorrow. 2 years after the keynote that introduced Forza Motorsport 2 and 4 years after the keynote that introduced the original Forza Motorsport. My hopes are high that we'll get the first details on the next game tomorrow. For up to the minute details, xbox360.ign.com will likely do a live blog. For discussion, as always, my favourite place to go is

This will be the future home of my fan site. There have not been any announcements yet, but it's a very safe bet that there will be a sequel. Turn 10 Studios, the developer of the Forza Motorsport series is currently hiring, likely for a couple of possible reasons. 1. Bizarre Creations, now that they have been acquired by Activision will most likely start to develop their own IP, leaving it to
