I have my pre-order receipt. I'll be mighty ****ed if I go to the store on Tuesday and they tell me they don't have any...

Did you pre-order it in store? I called my Best Buy and the guy had just got the shipment in and he set aside my copy for me since he remembered me pre-ordering and saw me in the system. From what I have read this is affecting online orders only as the stores have already gotten their shipments sometime this week as Monday is a Federal Holiday.

I ordered it at a touchscreen kiosk they have for preorders. I paid the guy at the register in the games section and we BSed a bit, but I doubt he'd remember me (or I him, for that matter).

I was originally going to order it online, but it said it was for shipment only and I wanted to pick it up on Tuesday so i went to the store instead.

I did the same thing and they have the copies, just call up the store and talk to the Game Adviser and see if they got them in today. My guy is covered in tattoos so he's not hard to forget lol...

I'm hoping this post will add to the confirmation that anyone who has pre-ordered IN STORE at BestBuy is safe and will be receiving their copy of Forza 4 LCE.

I called the BB that I pre-ordered from and the woman (very nice) told me that their online system and in store system are two completely different things. Each individual store receives their own shipment of copies and sells in store pre-orders based on that. The online store, however, is nation wide and separate from local stores (B&M), and is only connected to local stores through the option of store pickup. She told me that anyone who pre-ordered in store is "golden." Also, that the mass cancellation of pre-orders only seems to coming from BestBuy online, not GameStop or any other major retailer. I hope this is confirmation enough that the problem seems only to lie within pre-ordering from BestBuy Online.

Those of you who ordered anywhere else, I hope you can rest your worries now, though it never hurts to call your local BestBuy and double check your order yourself.

Basically what I did but I am sharing another customers story (http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/permalink/4843222/4844016/ShowThread.aspx#4844016)

Gran Turismo has lost race as the best racing sim it seems. I guess that's what happens when you take forever to release it and then have major updates just after release.

Tempted to buy an xbox just to get this... and gears 3 :p

Whats the fastest time you guys have in the Zonda? I managed a 1:43 last night, can't remember what difficulty settings I had set but i'll grab them later on.

I completely forgot about the Rivals mode, so I only tried it out last night. :p My best time in the Zonda so far (with ABS and STM on, no TCS, and simulation handling) is 1:47.9, but my laps always get invalidated because I stray a few inches off the track. :p

My best with the Zonda is about 1:44, with all the assists off, except Rewind (in case I'm setting a great lap and mess it up).

I had an Xbox 360 with Forza 3 and loved it. When GT5 finally got a release date I caved, and sold the Xbox to buy a PS3 and GT5 as I just assumed GT5 would live up to the hype and be significantly better. Imagine my disappointment.. I've barely played it.. everything about it irritates me :(

Think I might have to got another Xbox and get Forza 4 as it just looks absolutely superb...

I picked up GT5 on release and wasn't super impressed either. It just sits on my shelf, gathering dust.

Day 1 purchase..

not only this generations but ever since Forza was out on original XBox back in 2005 it's been the best sim racer out there in my book as the overall feel of the game is quite fun (all assists off of course ;) ) and just feels the best. about the only real drawback on the 2005 Forza game on original XBox was it's frame rate was not liquid smooth as i believe it was 30fps which while not bad is definitely not liquid smooth like how Forza2/3/4 are as they are 60fps.

p.s. Gran Turismo on PS is pretty much obsolete in my book as after you play Forza you just can't go back to GT.

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
