Found this today : http://www.gamestop.ca/xbox-360/games/forza-4-limited-edition/309758

Upon further investigation I found this from n4g.

A limited quantity of Forza Motorsport 4 games at retail will include an exclusive in-game car pack available at launch that boasts five incredible cars for fans to race, tune, paint and share. This car pack, limited to the first production run of Forza Motorsport 4 game discs, will include:

· Ford Mustang GT Coupe 1965: Take to the road in this classic American stallion, one of Ford’s most successful launch cars behind the Model A.

· Koenigsegg Agera 2011: “The Agera--from the Swedish verb “to act”--celebrates 15 years of Koenigsegg’s uncompromising philosophy of making dream cars.”

· Lexus SC300 1997: A classic personal luxury coupé, the SC300 combines a powerful racer with a 225bhp I6-powered engine.

· RUF RGT-8 2011: The spectacular RGT-8 is powered by a 4.5-liter V8 engine that has been fine tuned to deliver unmatchable sports car power and curb appeal.

· Tesla Roadster Sport 2011: For luxury car fans, the Roadster Sport is electric heaven. Get behind the wheel of this electric two-seater and go zero to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds with a peak rating of 288 horsepower.


For Forza fans who crave the VIP treatment, a Limited Collector’s Edition will also be available. Details on the exclusive content the Limited Collector’s Edition will offer will be revealed at a later date, and Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest details on Forza Motorsport 4.

Lol, a limited quantity. Is there still anyone out there believing that? :D

[gurpswoo1]

LOL I was going to say the same thing as Mrbubbles.

The worst companies for that statement is Microsoft and Sony. They think that if they manufactured 100,00 copies it's limited.

Thanks for the heads up on the two editions Mike1888, will add to list.

Thanks for adding it to the database :)

Has this been confirmed for Europe as well? if so, what's the price?

[twistedsymphony]

Is there actually a difference between the "Limited Edition" and the "Limited Collector's Edition"? or is the "LE" just an old listing for the "LCE"?

[Ayiu]

It has been confirmed for Europe too but price is not known yet.

I'm not sure but I think it' just an old listing because the news are only talking about one Edition and not about a second. But maybe there will be a dlc only Edition this time, too

[twistedsymphony]

*** Added PAL LCE release ***

[scourdx]

Hmm..apparently the Press kit version exist. It comes with USB key and other perks. It looks nice. I hope the CE will be like it.

[Matrix6]

Damn that's nice. Those tread marks decal look very similar to the one found on the Fast and Furious CE Bluray set box from Germany <3

[Venner]

So want that press kit

[gurpswoo1]

It looks like Best Buy in the USA is at it again and oversold their allocation of Forza 4 edition

Hope you guys got your copy.

people are going crazy over this!!!..Microsoft is NOT the one to give up on the dollar..watch them flood the market with forza 4 limited editions in the upcoming weeks, especially with the hyped up demand "sold out" and media twist on this, i even saw a piece by the today show,..this collectors box is a hot item, with the holidays around the corner, no way is this "sold out"..this will be out there just like the halo 3 big shot bundles, for everybody to snap up..microsoft would be crazy not to cash in on this for Nov/Dec.

I don't know about that... while they do usually flood the market with Halo I don't think they've ever produced a 2nd shipment of anything (they just usually over-produce the first shipment)

Forza 1 and 2 both sold out without any reproduction as did all of the GOW releases.

[Twisted]

i do know for a fact,...2 days ago,..amazon received another batch of the Forza 4 limited editions and they sold out fast (i was discussing it with customer service), in less than 24hours...and if you look at microsoft's website..it says "sold out"..but you can contact them via e-mail and ask when there will be a restock!?

[twistedsymphony]

Well, so far it seems to be fetching about $120 on eBay which is a pretty good return on investment.

You can speculate all you want but the best way to estimate the value down the road is to look at similar items Historically

Forza 3 LCE is getting about $30 used and $60 new.
Forza 2 LCE is rare enough that there isn't a single NTSC copy for sale on eBay.

Keep in mind that Forza 4 LCE is the first one to include a SteelBook which have a habit of dramatically increasing the desirability and value of a CE.

It doesn't really matter how many are produced what matters is the ratio of the number produced vs the demand. and so far that is in the favor of the collector.

Personally I don't really care if this release increases or decreases in value, I'm a fan of the Forza series and I bought it purely for personal enjoyment.

Anyone buying this game in hopes it will appreciate in value is IMO a fool, as most of the indicators point to it not doing so
-big name publisher
-very popular series
-widespread release
-type of game that will rarely get played once a sequel is released.

^all of those tend to make CEs drop in value A LOT

About the only thing going for it is the SteelBook and the fact that it seems MS underestimated demand.

Though I still doubt MS will be making more of them. That "shipment" Amazon received could simply be a re-allocation from one of their sister stores (which happens quite a bit). Think about it... do you really think Best Buy would have caused themselves so much negative publicity and paid their customers with $20 gift cards if there was even a chance of getting a 2nd shipment?

Got myself a PAL copy of Forza Motorsport 4 today! Not a bad looking pack, also gamestation UK chopped off 10 GBP from the Wireless steering wheel when bought with FOrza 4. Here are some pics of the Limited Collector's Edition, unfortunately no USB key as in the press pack, but a nice steel case for the game & content discs & a hard back book with information on different supercars, written by the guys at Top Gear.

For some strange reason the photos are not showing here, but if you click on the broken link, you can see from flickr.

If you needed more fodder to back the idea that there will probably NOT be a 2nd shipment:
http://jalopnik.com/5849616/walmart-ships-free-forza-4-copies-after-whiffing-limited-edition

Walmart over sold the LCE and as an apology they gave away FREE copies of the standard edition to those effected. That's a huge chunk of change that Walmart is eating for goodwill.

For american fellow
I think you can order from Fry

here (http://www.frys.com/search?search_type=regular&sqxts=1&query_string=forza+4+limited&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&cat=0)

Because their website did not pop up in google shopping list so they still have some left.
I get 2 copy yesterday so I think they still have some now.
