Free "Legends" DLC at Forza 3 launch News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

7 October, 2009

Microsoft will give all buyers of Forza Motorsport 3 a coupon to download a batch of free DLC from 27th October.

That will be the Motorsports Legends Car Pack, which includes 10 classic cars and two new maps.

Those sporty stallions are the '65 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA, '64 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage, '81 BMW M1, '60 Chevrolet Corvette, '69 Dodge Charger, '57 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, '80 Fiat 131 Abarth, '67 Lamborghini Miura P400, '71 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R and '65 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe.

The duo of maps accompanying them are the Benchmark High Speed Ring - a converted airfield and hangar (an "automotive playground") - and the Sidewinder Proving Grounds.

Turn 10 also released the full, 400-strong list cars and full, 100-strong list of tracks appearing in Forza Motorsport 3. Or at least the developer said it did - we can't find it on the official website, which is where we were told to look.

Forza Motorsport 3 is out on 23rd October. The gamepage below has videos and coverage aplenty.

Can't argue with free. Bit weird seeing the tracks referred to as 'maps' though..

"Bit weird seeing the tracks referred to as 'maps' though.."
I think it's because each "map" can contain many "tracks", like the different versions of the "snake" test track in FM3.

Guess that makes sense. I just kept thinking of the 'Map Packs' from WaW. Maybe Forza has a hidden FPS mode somewhere?

Rather clearly done to prevent people from being it used, I'm guessing...
Can't really blame them.

This sort of incentive to buy games new is quite a good one. Similar to the extra download tracks with Rock Band 2, there's a distinct advantage to buying a game new at any point. Pre order incentives aren't as good as they're only viable until launch, and afterwards you just get a second hand one for cheap.

Wow what a fantastic car list. Some wonderful classics in there, can't wait to get stuck in, especially the rusty italians.

Keen to drive the '69 Dodge Charger myself, although thought it was meant to be in the game already.

Guessing this comes as a scratch card code in the box, so they're hoping people won't be being buying pre-ownded copies. It's an interesting way of trying to deal with the 2nd hand market which only benefits retailers rather than devs and publishers.

That's an annoying action!

This should have been on the disc.

MS did this to get more people to sign up to xbox live or make used games worth less (this DLC needs a onetime code included with Forza 3).
