According to the Microsoft rep that came to my store today, there will be a new Xbox 360 bundle package that will include Forza 2 with the 360 (at no extra charge obviously).

Here's the video from that's special LeMans 24h GTHD. The Audi R8 looks stunning in the game. I hope the speedometer is in MPH because in the La Sarthe long stretch the audi R8 only does like about 150 mph/kmh. :S

not sure, maybe for similar reasons that he's always got loeb big-upping Gran turismo 5. :p Sofar, all Sony's shown me about gt5 is that it will be great for making screenshots. i I havent seen anything showing any onpar or superior physics engine to anything already out. These "words" are coming out of the "mouth" of one of the original Gran Turismo fanboys.

Gran Turismo 5 goes behind the wheel

French motorsports show confirms next PS3 installment of Polyphony Digital racing series to introduce in-car viewpoints.

Late last year, Gran Turismo designer Kazunori Yamauchi told fans that the next installment in his popular driving simulation series would reflect a change in the franchise's core principles and become "a fully realized online car life simulation."

While it might not be one of the "core principles" Yamauchi referred to last year, the designer did confirm one change in store for the next Gran Turismo in a recent Polyphony Digital profile by French motorsports program Turbo. For the first time in a Gran Turismo game, players will be able to select an inside-the-car viewpoint with the steering wheel and dashboard visible.

"To translate the real car into 3D, we use data and assets provided by the car manufacturers, but we also use a scanner that completely digitizes a car," Yamauchi told the show. "Here's a scoop: We're also modeling the dashboards because you can drive from the interior view in the upcoming Gran Turismo 5."

When asked about the Gran Turismo five in-car views and recent rumors of downloadable content for Gran Turismo HD for the PlayStation 3, a Sony representative told GameSpot, "We haven't made any recent announcements on the GT franchise."
