Forza Motorsport 3 Demo now available for download on Xbox Live
The playable demo of Forza Motorsport 3 for Xbox 360 is now available for download on Xbox Live for Gold level members.
The eagerly awaited third installment in the massively succesful racing franchise is due for release on October 23rd, but Forza fans can get behind the wheel of 5 cars and 1 track today and experience the full cockpit view, damage and rollover features as well as the game's new 'rewind' function.
The cars featured in the demo are the 2007 Porsche #80 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR, 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro, 2009 Ferrari California, 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR and 2009 Mini John Cooper Works, all of which can be given a thrashing around the game's Spanish mountain circuit named 'Camino Viejo'.
The demo also allows players to post their laptimes to online leaderboards.
So that's the rest of my day written off then (once the 1.25GB download completes)!

Woo, aweso-- Oh wait, Microsoft are fascists! I have to wait to download a *demo* because I don't have a gold account.
Obviously my £300 console purchase isn't enough for me to download a trial of a game which I might go on and buy.
Thanks M$!
