You'll get more news out of ForzaCentral or ForzaMotorsport.net. Most of the people who have the game are overseas, I'd assume the majority of people on here are from the US.

WHY AREN'T YOU TELLING ME ABOUT IT?!?!
how's the upgrade/tuning system? any real improvements over forza2 other than the auto stuff? did they play GT4 enough to figure out how to do two player splitscreen (replays, pick cars from same garage)?
throw a dog a bone here, i gotta wait a whole week. ;P

Dear Customers In order to compensate you for the delays I promised all early customers a free copy of Forza Motorsport 3 for Xbox 360 on top of the pre-order discount.
Unfortunatly we did not receive the game before the release of the game so we can only deliver it after you could buy it in a shop.
Beside that, several customers wanted to buy the limited edition or don?t have a Xbox so the game is of no use for them.
Therefore we decided to give you an order coupon for the Fanatec webshop with a value of 50 USD. You will get this coupon code in a few weeks in a separate e-mail once the new webshop is set up.
I hope that this is in your interest.
If you cancel your order this coupon code will be canceled as well.

So, I just got a an automated call from Gamestop confirming that they're doing a midnight launch for Forza. Now, to be honest, I knew I was going to be "sick" on wednesday, but maybe I should be sick on tuesday instead...
EDIT: So I had to call to see if it was true, and sure enough it was. Between Tekken and Forza, they're holding a midnight launch. I think I'm gonna go.

Frankly I think it sucks.
I need NOTHING from them other than the Clubsport edition that I ordered. I already ordered the G25 bracket and additional cable Tomas told me I would need last week. I also enquired with him last week about the status of the game, simply was it coming with my wheel or later. I was fine either way. He said nothing to me about this credit vs the game at the time and lord knows had I been told this I wouldn't have paid "cash" money for the few $$ in parts I did order.
I was told I was getting the game for free and now that has been jerked away from me. Now I have to go pay retail ($60) if I want the game at all. This is really poor business. I own my own company and would never have done this. I most certainly would have given everyone a choice store credit or wait for a copy of the game. To tell someone this is all they get stinks. If you are going to force folks to take the store credit and BUY other stuff you should at least "over compensate" them for it IMHO ie a $75 or $100 USD credit. What am I going to need the credit for now? Afterall I bought the full blown edition for a reason. This sucks!!
Really annoyed at how this was handled.

As I mentioned a while ago I simply don't trust Fanatec. They're new and talk alot of talk and made alot of promises about said product and have continually said they will meet those promises.
That does suck about this, honestly I'd return the G25 crap and stick with your MS wheel. If a company isn't as good as it's word why support them?

Well here is the "rub" I am now reading about.
It seems that if I opt to cancel my order and ask for refund I won't get my full amount back. Seems there will be transfer fees, and exchange fees that I will have to pay. I have no PROOF of that other than what some folks have said but that really irritates me now.
I guess this was a $400 gamble that may not pan out ... should used it for hooker and blow instead would have been a lot more fun!

Already have but I do not get a good vibe from this for several reasons (again all heresay at the moment)
1 - I am in the air freight shipment which has already left China and is on its way here to the US thus I cannot be cancelled/refunded until it arrives to me. At which time I will then have to pay to send it back and pay a restocking and pay for exchange/transfer fees and so on.
2 - Everyone who has asked Thomas for a refund against the actual i.e. just give me the $50 back instead of store credit has been told that is not possible.
3 - Everyone who has asked Thomas for the game and said they are willing to wait (like I am) has been told they will not get the game as it is not possible.
4 - Folks who have received their wheels are missing parts and cannot even use them at this time.
5 - The manual is not even in the box nor is it done. Supposedly there is some sort of "Quick Guide" on the blog page but that is all there is at this time.
Again most of this is "heresay" since I have not gotten any reply to my email. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if my email gets ignored.
We'll have to see.

If 2, 3, and 4 are true I will never deal with a company like that. That is complete bullcrap! Store credit? If they screw up everything this badly why would you want to shop there again? People even give them a break and say they'll wait for the game get turned down, and parts missing from the box?
Once again, Fanatec is showing that they are a crap company. I didn't like their rep I talked to on Forza Central many months ago and I really don't like them after hearing this. Say what you want about Logitec and no 360 wheel, I'd buy from them in a heartbeat compared to this.
