It looks like MS made the right choice to go with Forza over Project Gotham for it's premier racing franchise. Gotham was great but Forza 3 is amazing. 


Nice touch with the Holiday Car Pack too. And all kidding about microtransactions aside, that's a lot of extra cars for 400 points. Though, selling them seperately would have been a nice touch- if you only wanted, say, that Aston Martin... *cough*cough*
