OFLC Rates Forza 3 'Ultimate Collection'

August 24, 2010 7:15 AM

If an OFLC listing is to be believed, Microsoft is poised to re-release an "Ultimate Collection" of its popular, first-part racing title.

Yesterday, Joystiq spotted a listing on the Australian rating board's website for Forza 3: Ultimate Collection. Presumably, the re-release would include most, if not all of the game's numerous downloadable content "packs." According to the listing, the game was submitted for classification on August 19, 2010.

Forza Motorsport 3, developed by Turn 10 Studios, was originally released on October 27, 2009, exclusively for the Xbox 360. With Gran Turismo 5 finally crossing the retail finish line (we swear!), the re-release of Microsoft's racing title would ensure that Sony wouldn't be the only first-party racing title terrorizing the track this holiday season.

Retailers have yet to list the collection. Shacknews has contacted Microsoft for comment on a possible re-release of Forza 3 but have not heard back at the time of publishing.

  "without feeling like ramming a dildo up their ass."
  
  You say that like it's a bad thing.

  Everytime you buy a brand new game, you are paying for that new-ness. Don't be surprised when they release a "best of", or "enhanced", or "whatever" addition down the road. They are trying to include more and reduce the price to generate new sales. This is the way the market works, where have you been?

    The thing is - it doesn't have to work that way.
    
    They could easily have custom prices created for those that bought some of the earlier DLC that is also included in whatever 'ultimate pack' getting released later on.

    Yep, this. It's the same thing as Gold Editions, Platinum Editions, Game of the Year Editions, etc. Everything costs more if you buy it on the release date.
