If you're going to buy all the DLC it's worth it. If not, it isn't.

[quote]Microsoft has announced a Season Pass DLC plan for the upcoming Forza Horizon, the latest entry in the racing series that is set in a virtual representation of the state of Colorado. The Season Pass will cost $50 USD (or 4,000 Microsoft Points), and grant access to the game's Expansion Pack set to arrive in December.

Season Pass holders will also nab each of the six car packs as they're released over the next year, as well as five exclusive Season Pass vehicles and a batch of launch day rides. Turn 10 will reveal all of these cars gradually on its Twitter feed. The Season Pass (which represents a 17 percent saving on all of this content) will be available for purchase on October 23, right when the game turns the key for launch.

In addition, we've got tracklists for each of the game's three radio stations, all churning out tunes during the in-game "Horizon Festival." Have a look at the songs, after the break.

"Forza Horizon" Reveals Entire Music List, Season Pass Details and Behind the Scenes Video #2
New video documentary welcomes racing fans to the open roads of Colorado

Microsoft, Playground Games, and Turn 10 Studios have released a new edition of the "Forza Horizon –Behind the Scenes" video documentary series. In this latest edition of the video series fans have a chance to explore the open world playground of Colorado, which is the backdrop for all of the automotive action in Forza Horizon.

Forza Horizon's creators spent months creating the incredible version of Colorado that fans will be able to race, drive, and explore in Forza Horizon. In this video, fans will be able to get an inside look at how the team took the hundreds of hours of video footage and the tens of thousands of photographs gathered during multiple reference trips to Colorado, and translate them into the massive, fun-filled world that makes up Forza Horizon. From the treacherous sun-baked cliffs of Red Rock to the pulsing non-stop party that is the Horizon Festival itself, Forza Horizon's Colorado is an automotive playground brimming with intense action and surprises around every turn.

The multi-part "Forza Horizon: Behind the Scenes" video documentary series opens the door to the creation of this year's biggest racing game, Forza Horizon.

Forza Horizon Season Pass Details Released: The "Forza Horizon" Season Pass is your action-packed ticket to automatic access to the "Forza Horizon" Expansion Pack (available Dec. 18, 2012), along with six game car packs, as they're released through the next year. Each car pack will include six new vehicles and those who purchase the Season Pass will also get access to five exclusive season pass vehicles and the launch day pack.

The "Forza Horizon" Season Pass will be available for purchase starting Oct. 23, on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for only 4,000 Microsoft points ($49.99 USD), representing a 17 percent overall savings as compared to purchasing the content separately.

Forza Horizon Music List Unveiled: Forza Horizon is set against the backdrop of a fictional automotive music festival – the Horizon Festival. This robust music list includes over 65 songs spanning more than 60 artists and was curated and created specifically for the game by Rob da Bank, a BBC DJ and creator of the Bestival music festivals in Europe. Players can tune into three distinct radio stations while playing "Forza Horizon," each with a different style of music and each with its own authentic DJ giving players Horizon Festival updates.

The name and a description of each station is below:

Station 1 / "Horizon Bass Arena" – "A bleeding-edge mix of the latest electronic and dance music, from dubstep to electro to drum & bass. If it's got bass, you'll find it here."
Station 2 / "Horizon Pulse" – "An eclectic selection of indie festival favourites, remixed to keep you driving"
Station 3 / "Horizon Rocks" – "If it's got guitars in it, it's here. Whether these bands are hitting the festival scene for the first time in 2012 or are legends reforming for one last gig, you'll find a diverse selection of music on this station, all turned up to eleven.



More Forza Horizon Cars Announced: This week, Microsoft and Turn 10 Studios announced additional cars in its ongoing rollout of cars for Forza Horizon, which will be available starting on Oct. 23.

I'd imagine it's probably extra roads / cars.

Worryingly there is no sign of any Porsches yet?

Just a quick question guys I was going to pre order this from GAME as soon as it was available but now I am going to hold out until I've played the demo, how late realistically do you think I can leave it before purchasing as if I do want it I don't want to miss out on the LCE
