FH2 Launch Party event at Microsoft Stores
- Overview: Microsoft Stores in the U.S., Canada, and PR are holding a launch party for FH2 beginning September 30. Be one of the first 50 people in line at a full Microsoft Store or the first 25 at a specialty Microsoft Store to receive a SWAG Bag.
- When: September 30 when your local store opens (regularly 10am but contact your store for details)
- Links: Launch Party FAQ and event discussion thread
- Prize: SWAG Bag includes: FH2 USB key + FH2 Car Charger + FH2 T-Shirt
Xbox Upload Featured Clips
Just an FYI that under the terms and conditions for the event, it looks like you have be purchasing/picking up your copy of the game from the Microsoft Store to get the SWAG (i.e., you couldnât pick up your game from elsewhere or digital download and get the SWAG). If someone finds out differently, please let us know.
The last Q&A on the FAQ makes me think you might be able to show your online Microsoft Store pre-order receipt (shipped to you) and still receive the bag. But yeah, they may just hand the bags to those in line to pick up the game and not those who just want to go into the store to shop for other things.

Maybe add âXbox Oneâ to the thread title, just waisted 5 min of my day reading your thread hoping to see something for Xbox 360 and nothing. I know everyone and their brother wants to push the Xbox One âNew Genâ but there is no reason yet that convinces me to drop that kinda cash on a updated system!! There is way more 360 users than the new âONEâ so how about not ditching us to the curb and hook up loyal customers that have existed from the start! JMO

Gift car for VIPs - Veneno with Ravenous livery
This Lamborghini Veneno was gifted to VIPs on October 24, 2014. To collect this gift go to the Social tab in the pause menu, then Message Center, then Gifts, and press A to download the car to your My Cars collection. Johniwanna revealed the car todayâs the #ForzaFriday livestream. The car comes with stock parts/tuning and a livery applied - titled âRavenousâ featuring a raven theme. The livery is not native to the car so be careful about removing the car or attempting to change the design - this is only a one time gift and if you lose the car or livery by mistake or by restarting your gamesave or by other loss, it will likely not be replaced by T10.
Note that in your garage, the livery will not be visible on the car in the menu preview pic (instead showing just the grey manufacturer paint) but it will be there when you get in the car. Mechberg mentioned in a livestream last week that T10 is aware of this livery display issue. Players who purchase the VIP DLC after October 24 might or might not receive this gift car.
