    Took them long enough.
    That's a decent deal on the XB1. Puts the 500GB console at about R4600. Same deal with Halo 5 instead of Forza 6 instead: http://za.microsoftstore.com/product...nt=10561625601

    I'm tempted enough to pay that just to get Forza 6. My love for racing games has been revived with the latest Humble Bundle - I can't get enough of Grid Autosport and I KNOW Forza is miles better. I played Forza 2 and 3 to death when I still had a 360.

    Wasn't it you who never touched your PS4 though? It was someone. Hmm I think it was you. It would then maybe be cheaper to get something like Drive Club. Or you can get Grid Rally on Steam. Forza is great but I don't know if it's R5000 great. If you do get it though then we can maybe revive the Forza challenges that died when everyone got too busy.

    It was and is me you are thinking of. I've really considered getting Drive Club, but I can't shake the feeling that it's just a poor man's Forza. Maybe I'm looking through some extremely rose (or should that be green?) tinted glasses at my prior enjoyment of Forza 2 and 3, or maybe Forza is just that much better than most (all?) other racing games.

    I tried reliving those glory moments in Grid 2 and Autosport the past week, but I don't get that sense of satisfaction that Forza gave me. In Forza a change in tires, adjustment of shocks, tweaking of engine power, a different bumper or wing made all the difference in how a car handled and, most importantly, your time around the track. Like [MENTION=4071]BeoTeK[/MENTION] mentioned, I used to find the perfect racing line on a track and tried to shave of milliseconds by postponing hitting the brakes at a corner just before I spin out...

    Cool, so are you going to join us? We will be starting the Forza Challenge afresh next year with more organisation and tables and all that. I'm just worried that you spend that amount of money and find it a waste.

    Can anyone honestly explain to me what makes Forza so magical that people are seriously willing to spend over R5000 for one game? From what I've played of the series it was just another racing game, not even something I would be willing to pay full price for.
