Forza Motorsport 3 bargain round-up

360 News | Lots of bundles on offer.
Forza Motorsport 3 will be racing into stores this Friday and to celebrate we’ve compiled a list of specials which will be available across Australian retailers. To start off though, we’re going to go through the usual routine and explain the different versions that are available.

Forza Motorsport will be available in two versions – a standard edition and limited edition. The standard edition has a suggested retail price of $99.95 and is just a copy of the game. The limited edition retails for $119.95 and includes a copy of the game, a Forza branded 2 GB USB and keychain, an exclusive car pack and a redeem code for an exclusive Forza Motorsport 3 dashboard theme.

Unfortunately it appears most retailers are having a week off as there aren’t too many specials available for either version of the game. In fact, the only stores that have the standard edition on sale are WOW - Sight and Sound who is charging $78, and JB Hi-Fi and Kmart who are both selling it for $79. Meanwhile, the limited edition can be snapped up for $99.95 at JB Hi-Fi. So, why did we bother with this round-up? Because there are a heap of bundles and trade-in deals available!

First up, you can walk out of JB Hi-Fi with a copy of the standard edition and a wireless steering wheel for $194. If you were considering jumping on the Xbox bandwagon, then Kmart and JB Hi-Fi are offering Forza 3 standard for FREE when you purchase any Xbox 360 console. Meanwhile, The Good Guys is offering an Xbox 360 Elite console with Forza 3 and a second wireless controller for just $449.

For our local trade-in junkies, JB Hi-Fi is offering the standard edition for FREE when you trade-in three Xbox 360 games – just remember to check their exclusions list (.pdf file) before heading into your local store. Finally, EB Games is offering the limited edition for $39.95 and the standard edition for $19.95 when you trade-in two eligible titles.

A complete list of specials can be found below. If you have anything to add to this list please leave a message in the comments section or email joseph.rositano@palgn.com.au.

Hi Joseph, I know we don't talk much anymore. But, JB Hi-Fi will also be including the standard version of Forza Motorsport 3 for free with any Xbox 360 console purchase. In a nut shell, it's the same deal last month when Halo 3: ODST was released. But, this time Halo 3: ODST is swapped for Forza Motorsport 3.

Any decent deals on the CE? Trade-ins?

The Collector's Edition of Forza Motorsport 3 is $99. There is no "Free when you trade in 3 games" deal for this title. The only extra bonus is that Audi R8 is the pre-order bonus car at JB Hi-Fi.

Those are just "stickered" versions of the cars though, right? The M3, M5 and R8 are in all versions of the game. The pre-order bonus cars, at least in the US, were just custom paint jobs with the various store logos on them.

looks that way. going by the forza site, they seem to be the exact same cars.

I'm avoiding pre-order prices since a lot of stores stop them in the days leading up to release.

And thanks for the updated JB and WOW info guys. I'll add it to the list ASAP.

GAME have an offer to trade 1 eligible title and get the game for $49.95. I have no idea what the eligible titles are, as they took my Fallout 3 but said it wasn't supposed to be one of the eligible titles.

At GAME, i traded in one eligible title and paid $39.95 for the CE.

I tried to price match to JB but the manager said he could only lower it by $10 bc of the trade in.

Still a great deal. icon_biggrin.gif

YEs, Fallout 3 used to be on the eligible list 2 weeks ago.. lucky u.

@ Shadowmoon808, I had them try to match the GAME website, I traded in COD5 and paid $35 for the CE icon_smile.gif

I tried to get the manager to price match JB's $99... lol

Anyway i did not pay cash as i traded in a few games.

To be honest, i'm glad to get a disc. as the "store policy" is to stick to the original deal. You are not supposed to price match on a trade-in deal. icon_twisted.gif

Got mine yesterday from GameTraders, $99 pricematched to JB

As for those trying to trade Fallout 3; probably not on the list 'cause there's now the GOTY edition available.
