Have a extra payday this month, so that leaves me with spending money... so I went ahead and did it, bought me one of those special edition Forza Motorsports 6 Xbox One consoles w/ 1 TB of harddrive space... ya, 400 bucks but I sold my older one to a co-worker for 250... just like the look, sounds, smell of this sexy Ford GT blue one. ALSO comes with the full game of course.

This is for my 2nd one, gaming room, with PC and all... I still have the original 500gb black one with the kinetc in the living room... play SP games on that, this one has a wired connection, so I use it for all the MP sessions.

I didn't even know this existed. My wife is not going to be pleased, Chuck. thumbsup

Even if/when they do it will cost $400 + $35 shipping, and I'm sure they'll find a way to make it like their wheels, only relevant for a little while before you need an upgrade. I just don't trust Fanatec anymore.

Whereas the TX will just work... (on XBOne and PC)...

If I needed another XBOne, that FM edition looks great.

FM5 wasn't worth it IMO... but IMO FH2 was pretty damn, and still is...pretty damn awesome... not too sim but not to arcade either... and great fun in MP with friends.

Yeah I got an XboxOne wuite late and got FH2 when I bought it. I love FH2 and had read that FM5 was a let down so never bothered. Looking forward FM6 though and get back into some online racing.

nope, credits and rewards from the Forza App, which is part of Forza Rewards program.

Login every month, redeem rewards, rewards based on tier level, achievments of FM2,3,4,5 FH, FH2, FH2:FAF affect reward levels,

Granted I have alot of stuff on FM5 and FH2/FAF left, FM 2,3,4 and FH I practically have all acheivements on, so I get a stupid amount of credits for FH, FM4, FH2 etc every month when I redeem, they have had cars in the rewards for a while.

I've got serious reservations about FM6 after the debacle of the last one.

But, good luck with the console, Mags.
