Unboxed: Forza Motorsport 5 Paddock Edition

Wow, thanks for that review. Did not even have the slightest interest in getting this at all, but after reading your review its definitely on the top of my "do I get this now?" list. I'm sad that there are so many other things coming out this week, but if GS is doing reservations on this still, I'll swing by today and probably pre-order this.

Also want to give "props" to the company for sending you a copy for review! That's great, and probably a very wise decision on their part (judging from the fact that they already possibly made one extra sale on it that they would not have gotten otherwise). I'm hoping that more companies will send you CEs to review - and just maybe we could do some community give-a-ways etc. (assuming you already had a copy of it of course haha).

Thanks again for that thorough review - I know it takes time to gather your thoughts like that, and so its appreciated!

Edit: Also, I agree - that's a bummer about not including a game in y'know, a Game CE - but I suppose if you bought the limited edition for $80 and this for $120 - while its pricier than some, probably still worth the $200 in total.

This edition can only be ordered through the official Forza website (link at the bottom of the article).

Most of the time when editions are extremely limited (less than 10K) then it tends to be exclusive to a specific store.

I'm glad you liked the review, I'd love to be able to write something like this for every CE but as you said, it's quite time consuming.

good read! Really hope you'll find some time to do something similar for the Xbox One release. I assume you're getting the D1 Edition?

I have the Day 1 Edition console pre-ordered through Amazon.com though sadly it currently lists December 3rd as the arrival date for my console. So I'm not sure if it's worth doing a review a week after release, I'm sure at that point anything there is to say about the console will have likely have been said by others.
