I wanted the hard copy of Ultimate. But GAME were being useless. Went to pre-order the day before and was told, "we've received the games that have been pre-ordered. There might be some left if you come in tomorrow..." Why don't you just let me pre-order one of the damn spare ones then?!
On their website I could still pre-order but it wouldn't let me actually click Pre-Order... even though it was giving a count down to how long I had left to guarantee it.
Seems you get more XP, money etc from your Club. Club Leagues too.
From the Forza Forum
"FH3 has a Club feature which allows up to 1000 players to join a group and have a unique tag in front of their gamertag over their car and on leaderboards. Club owners can designate who can send messages to the club and manage membership. Player XP is automatically tracked in an inter-club leaderboard that pays out large amounts of credits when you cross certain thresholds in a given week before the board resets. Clubs also compete against each other for the rank of most overall XP. The Club menu is locked at the start of the game and will be unlocked through regular gameplay within the first hour. Follow the game prompts onscreen and from ANNA to visit your Festival site, complete events, and earn fans to build new Festival sites. The club menus will unlock after you open your third Festival.
