wait... what was that vid... I thought it was a commercial before the trailer vid. bummer.

Great article. I hope other game makers would listen and respect their fan base and enjoy the long-term reward.

I usually don't pay for DLC because its over-priced, and when I don't have new DLC I loan out my copy of the game.

Online DRM...

So if I buy this game and they decide in 5 years to not pay for the servers to be up anymore, I loose all my SAVED DATA, and CANNOT PLAY?

Racing down the road looks awesome at high speeds and plays fun. Fun game so far and is more geared towards arcade racer. I expected a little more from Forza; in fact I would have believed this was some other race game. Streets seem very sparse when you are looking around, not much to destroy, not a lot of cars on the road (which is good when you are over 100 mph down a small road). More cars in free roam and more stationary objects would have helped immerse the player, like buildings and shortcuts and jumps. If you are going to do more arcade then go all the way.
