It's that time again, time to make hard decisions. Title says it all

I'm torn between the Ultimate Edition disc version, which I can get at Best Buy for $80 (thanks GCU) with the 2016 Jaguar F Type Project 7 pre-order bonus and the digital Ultimate Edition because no swapping discs; but do I get it from Best Buy with the Jag and rewards or from the Xbox Store with the 2016 Mercedes-Benz C 63 S Coupé and no rewards.

I also have no idea how people with the Ultimate Edition disc are going to get access to the game early.

Decisions, decisions, first world problems

They'll get a game code that only works after certain date probably.

Where's option for not buying? Haha. I'm not really a fan of Forza's simulation racing style although i liked Fast and Furious which was Horizon 2 add on.

Also, I forgot to mention that if you plan to take advantage of the Play Anywhere feature (play on Xbox One and Win 10), you need to purchase the digital version. Also, the Ultimate Edition disc version does come with a steelbook.

It would be nice if it stated in the description of the Ultimate/ Collectors edition if it was going to be a physical copy or a digital code.

What they really need is if you pre order retail for a Collector edition you get a code to pre-load the game (say it have a 24 hour play period if early access) then you use the physical copy and saves time downloading to the drive.

Maybe in the future where the whole planet is on 24/7 will the days of the disc end but not yet. I mean look at the complaints games such as Titanfall get when it's always got to be online. Once your gold runs out, its a useless game really.
I'm getting the ultimate edition from Xbox Store, I have gotten both FH2 and FM6 in ultimate versions, since I always would get VIP and Car Pack anyway. Just the extra packs you get except Motorsports pack are useless for me since I already have them. And getting to play it before the release is always a bonus. Too bad we don't get the same rewards system as we got for FM6, with extra credits based on your Forza level.

This is the current loyalty rewards we are getting for Forza Horizon 3:

Forza Horizon 3 Loyalty Rewards:
As with all recent Forza titles, you will be rewarded cars upon starting the game based on your Forza Rewards tier. The more you play Forza games, the higher your Rewards score will get. Each week, you are given a set amount of money in each game based on your rewards score.

Tier Rewards Cars
Great cars are awaiting you in Forza Horizon 3, with a unique car for each Tier level in the game. Note that these rewards are cumulative so, for example, a Tier 4 player will earn both the Tier 2 and Tier 3 reward, in addition to the Tier 4 reward.

Here is the full list of Tier Reward cars:

• Tier 2: 2005 Honda NSX-R
• Tier 3: 2003 Nissan Fairlady Z

• Tier 10: 2017 Ford GT


Remember, you still have lots of time until September 27 (September 23 for Ultimate Edition owners) for you to rank up your score!

Game Reward Cars

If you’ve played select past Forza games on Xbox One, you’ll also receive a free car in Forza Horizon 3 for each of the games you’ve played:

Forza Horizon 2: 2014 Local Motors Rally Fighter
Forza Motorsport 6: 2017 Ford Raptor


VIP Reward Car

If you’ve been a Forza VIP member in either Forza Motorsport 6 or Forza Horizon 2, you’ll also receive one of the most exciting European supercars of recent years: the 2015 Koenigsegg One:1!
Unfortunably no credits from owning certain number of cars, like in fm6 loyalty awards, I got about 10 million credits from that, made a huge impact on the start of the game.
The weekly rewards help out a lot. I think they are giving like 400K a week for FH2 and FM6

And in the beginning you even got cars. You don't have to log into FM5, FM6 and FH2 every week to get them, only in the other games.
