It seems this deal is going to be quite common from now on.

I played Forza 7 (demo) on my S and I don’t have 4k or HDR and to be honest it looked pretty good. It’s not worth upgrading if you have the S in my opinion. The quality of the game has little to do with resolution (UC4 is a good example of this).

upgrade only if you have a decent 4K HDR set

It is worth upgrading, as long as you have a 4K set. Why anyone would be looking at an Xbox One X without purchasing a 4K tv is beyond me.

It does upscale for 1080p sets, but I wouldn’t buy it for just resolution. I’d want to see actual innovation with the games.

To be honest, Forza 7 looks stunning on the normal Xbox S on a 4K TV.. sure it will look a bit better on an Xbox One X but not that much. This console looks good if you're an early adapter but I'm sure the price will come down a lot pretty soon anyway

I played the demo on my 4k HDR tv with my slim and it was simply stunning, the best implimentation that i have seen yet of any HDR game, simply jaw dropping, so i can't imagine what it will look like with all that but in native 4k on the X. :astonished:
Of course i won't be touching the game myself at launch because it has a season pass, but i will grab it way down the line on sale, and that sale price will be really low because of the addition of lock boxes(No T10, they are not prize boxes, they are lock boxes no matter how you try to spin it), and i am a Forza nut, but i stick by my principles.
But i commend the fan base for kicking up a stink and at least getting VIP rewards massively improved as to negate said lock boxes, although that won't help those who bought the basic version.

I have the standard version. I’m a little lost on what you mean? Playing the game as I normally do and not had to spend a penny, my credits help me unlock said boxes if I want. Unlocking new cars at a reasonable pace.

Ill be waiting for that then. An extra free game for waiting less than 20 days from release. Nice one EuroGamer :thumbsup:

Bear in mind it's only a prediction that may be well off, the extra game prediction (again may be well off) was for the Xmas deals :smile:

Seems like a safe bet though. The second batch isn’t exactly selling out again and the last thing on most families minds around xmas time is not really to splash £400+ on a games console. Id say its a fair prediction and we could even see better offers. Extra controller chucked in etc.
I just tried the vey offer of 20% off but as you need to apply for credit first i didn’t fancy it. I know its interest free but i’d rather just pay up front. Just a personal preference.....im weird like that
There you go @ Currys Online but also posted here too Xmas may provide better deals / games then :grin:

Be warned that apparently Forza 7 completely rips you off. Its been made with microtransactions in mind, so in order to make any sort of progress in the game without it being mind-numbingly grindy, you'll have to pay real money for in-game credits and rewards. It's like what free to play mobile games do, except in this case the game isnt even free to play. Plus they mislead people with the special editions by not disclosing that VIP status only lasts 25 days, unlike in all the previous games where VIP is permanent. Im definitely not supporting a studio that priorities ripping the customer off even, after they've paid for the game. You're better off sticking with Forza 6 which is actually playable without having to pay your way through the game.
That's far from enough. The VIP status only affects a minority who opted for the special additions. The microtransaction-focused game is by far the biggest issue.

Agreed and not something I personally like either.

You make a valid point but it only took me 2 hours of gameplay before I could buy the cars I actually wanted. The new system is bad agreed. But not terrible.

Let’s get this straight...as of right now you cannot use REAL money in Forza 7. Whether pay for transactions come in the future or not remains to be seen but as of this moment the only loot crates and rewards you get in Forza 7 are via in game credits which you earn via racing NOT by paying for them.
