They are only available if you bought the Limited edition version. If you did then you should have a code to enter, which will unlock them.

If you didn't (like me) then you out of luck. At least for the time being, maybe one day we'll get them, but not yet.

You're bloody joking! What is the point of that?!? You can't even buy them at the marketplace?! It's so frustrating as they are some of the best cars and it's even more frustrating as they are still shown in the game which is such a tease! Tbh, it's another great money making scheme by xbox!
So is there likely to be a download for them at some point??

It's a question I asked too when I first got it, however, I knew there were additional cars in the LE version and I only pre-ordered the standard. The thing is, there are 400 odd cars in the game, and those are just 5. There will be a lot of speculation as to whether they will be available to d/l at some point, but as has been pointed out on quite a few occasions now, they were part of the Limited Edition pack. Believe me, I want the DBS ALOT, but I could understand how pissed off everyone who bought the LE version would be if they suddenly just released those cars to everyone who didn't. It would defeat the point of having VIP content.

I'll wait and see if this happens. If not, I have so many other cars, plus regular DLC at my disposal. I'm not unhappy in the slightest smile

I saw on eBay that people are selling the codes for about £5 - £10.

Unlikley - wasn't the case for FM2 - quite right too, paid for the LCE so I could have them.

Can't really understand the anger, there was plenty of notice before it was released and I sourced my LCE copy for £40 from Blockbuster like many other people on here, so it didn't really cost me any extra.

Plenty of notice if you're into games, if your just a casual gamer who likes a race every now again, it's a bit of a pain, the salesman in Game didn't even try to up-sell to me, explaining the differences, I just thought it was a fancy keyring and a usb key for £15. I suppose I should have paid more attention to the box.

So for an extra £20, how many cars do you get? And the fancy box etc.

Extra £20? When I was looking the normal version was around £35 and the LCE was about £44, which was why I thought sod it and paid an extra £9.

Extra £10 at most if you go with Blockbuster. You get 5 exclusive cars, 5 paintjobs with special tunes and regular monthly tunes/paintjobs sent out. Prominence in the storefront for your designs, tunes etc.

Plus the fancy box, memory stick, keyring and acrown by your name. I was prepared to pay £40 for the standard so £40 for the LE was awesome.

I thought that, but I'm guessing if you've used the standard code for the extra DLC tracks/cars, it will be fairly worthless.

Unless you were to buy the LCE first, take the normal code out and put it in the standard copy of forza 3 and then trade it in, keeping your new LCE code.
