Forza Motorsport 3 for $52

A few weeks ago i played the demo and was completely blown away. Forza 3 may just be the best racing game ever. And i mean everything from the actual in-game driving, physics, and car and track modeling, to the absolutely inspired interface design. Never before has a racing game menu been so clean and simple to navigate.

The game just came out last Tuesday, so i’ve been keeping an eye out for who has the best price. Buy.com has Forza 3 for only $52 with free shipping, which is 13% off the usual $60 (even more if you add in tax).

A masterpiece of game interface design. Simple, nearly invisible. Rewind is genius. And cockpit view—finally!

I’m also thinking about getting a steering wheel and pedals set. Unfortunately there’s only two options for full Forza 3 features with force feedback: the official Microsoft Wheel set, or the hardcore Fanatec set with Porsche steering wheel, pedals, and shifter that goes for $500. The going price for the Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel seems to be $90 everywhere, which is a little more than i’d like to spend. I’ve seen one or two used on craigslist for closer to $50, but that’s always hit-or-miss.

Next week i’ll be looking for the best deal on Modern Warfare 2.
