I looked into that. The Halo promotion is starting from just after Halo 5’s release date (Promotion starts in November, the game comes out in October) The Forza 6 one starts August… does FM6 come out late summer? Holy smokes!
October or November the release months for Forza, apart from FM2 which was in May. So it’s not really spilling any beans as nobody has said an exact date.
But the Halo contest begins after the game’s release date. If they’re being consistent, wouldn’t it follow that the FM6 contest would also begin after the game’s released? After all, both of these contests also have DLC as a prize (the language here is important- it’s not bonus preorder content, it’s straight up identified as DLC) which would seem to indicate that to redeem the prize, you must have access to the game itself.
That stinks that the US can’t participate in this. Perhaps someone from Europe can lend a code once the Pringles cans are on the market?
Also, I doubt FM6 would be coming as early as August, but that sure would be amazing! I don’t start my next round of classes until September, so some time off with Forza would be great.
It doesn’t stink. If the US is not included in this promotion, then you’ll feel how most of the world feels in most of these promotions and contests. It our chance to have a rarity for once.
I’m sort of thinking that an expansion (or at least a June Car Pack) is coming*, with the Juke in it. So far, every contest-liveried car that we got has been an existing car, except for this case.
FH1: Rockstar GT500, Pizza Hut Boss 302
FH2: G-Shock 370Z, Cheetos SVT Raptor
I don’t think that there would be a contest with a livery-wrapped car as a prize that isn’t already in the game normally…
*Pure speculation, not official, etc.
Side note (2): Does anyone remember the Mazda Design Contest thing where people put a design on the first gen Miata and then we were supposed to vote for the winner and everyone get the car (kind of like the C63 AMG/Corvette ZR1 gift a while back)as a gift? What’s the status on that?
