Hard copies of UE are limited, some stores only took 14 pre orders while others took a mere 8. Can start PLAYING at 40% on xbox but I advise waiting until 90% so you can start and progress without any hiccups.
30MB should download within an hour to a couple of hours, but a slow or weak connection could see as long as 12 hours total download time. It's an incredible experience regardless of which way you choose to go. The UE doesn't give you a better game or change it to something different. You might not get as much cash from wheel spins, and you won't get to drive around in certain cars, but Forza still gives you the option to buy individual cars rather than fork out month after month if you just want one or 2 new cars. The advertisements and YouTube videos have been enough to sell you on the standard game edition. Sure there will be discounts at some point for the DLC's within a year and discounts on the passes in the next 2, but IMO you'll be waiting till the 4th or even the 6th car pack before you'll see discounts for anything.īUT, this isn't so important if your approach is more casual than the die hard Forza fans amongst us. Throw in the VIP pass and that's another £20, and in the end it just makes more sense to get the ultimate edition. I didn't think about that! But seriously, who would want to wait?įrom my experience and personally for me, it was completely worth purchasing UE because I've been a Fan for a while, right back when Forza 2 was the only decent Microsoft alternative to Gran Turismo.įinancial wise (using my currency) You're looking at £130/£140 through the standard edition JUST getting the car packs as they come out through the months.
hoping to stumble on a sale a year from now. The positive is you'll be waiting a while because prices tend to hold well for Forza products so it is beneficial to get it all now vs. The game will be cheaper and all DLCs eventually go on sale. I personally decided I wanted VIP and the Car Pass, and I'll be playing the heck out of it, so it only made sense for me to get the UE. If you're certain you'll want the extra DLC, then you should get the UE-it'll save you money in the long run. True, I guess it would depend on if you want the extra content/early access. But if for one of those the answer is no, I wouldn't reccomend the UE, unless you absolutely /must/ be playing on the 23rd. Is the VIP worth it? Is the Car Pass worth it? I'm sure you can decide those yourself. Ultimately it's a bundle for people who want all the day one content on day one, giving you a discount and early access. Not going to buy it? Then the ultimate edition it's not worth it.
