Finally bought a 360 over the weekend and am looking to get a copy of Forza 4. I don't really mind saving a little money by buying a used copy, but will I lose out on any redeemable codes or anything that comes with a new copy?
 
I think it depends on a few things. If the new game is normal edition or special edition will come with different cards (collector's will come with more) and if you get a used copy it depends if the cards were used up or not. These aren't XBL 24/48hr Gold cards nor MS Point cards but rather extra DLC stuff you download from XBL using the code.
 
At my best buy they still do have some versions of the original game that still have the 5 extra cars that they gave at the release of the game. So i would say get it new, only if you want those 5 cars.
 
Those cars and tracks can be purchased through the marketplace, the 'Launch Bonus Car Pack' is put together with the pre-order cars which means you can buy the 5 pre-order and 5 launch bonus cars for 560(?) Microsoft points, or you can get the game new with the 5 launch bonus cars and then if you're planning on getting the pre-order cars then you can either pay the 560 Microsoft points for the whole set (which would come with the launch bonus cars but you now already have them) or pay something like 240 points per car which works out to be a lot more expensive.

And those cars/tracks can't be purchased through the Marketplace?

With the exception of the Benchmark Test Track, yes they can, along with the pre-order cars.

The pre-order cars are:

2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STi
2011 BMW 1M Series Coupe
2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde
2011 Honda CR-Z EX
2011 MINI John Cooper Works Clubman

Benchmark is a pretty cool track to have to mess around, clock top speeds on the speedway, or play some fun gametypes online.

Your call whether you want to buy used or new.
 
I ended up buying a new copy, it came with the BMW M5 and the test track. The price difference between a new and used copy at Gamestop was only $5 anyway. Thanks everyone for your help.
 
That's cool that the pre-order cars are available for purchase. I didn't know that. I knew the Launch Pack was available.

Can anybody confirm the cost (MS Points) of each pre-order car? I would have to go to my brother's house to connect to find out. Thanks in advance.
 
Off the top of my head i think they are the usual price individually for DLC cars. As a pack though for 10 cars i think i twas 560? I'm not sure because its been a while since it came out.
 
Thank you for the link. Looks like I'll be downloading the Launch Pack for 560 MSP instead of 160 MSP per car. Even though i have half of the pack.
 
I got a new copy and it didn't have any of launch cars included just the tracks so if you dont really care about the tracks, then a used copy is fine.
