That's Microsoft for you.
You can also only upload photos if you have a Gold account, like FM3. Which I think is a real scumbag thing for them to do. (Also the reason they won't let us save photos to a USB stick)

Well, theres a hdd transfer kit to buy...or you could simply plug in your xbox hdd to your computer
Time consuming yes...
Thanks for letting me know, Astro 👍
I will not be bothering with those cars, then. Shame because I would have liked to have the 1M Coupe. Oh well....
Where did you read this?
I've never heard of downloadable content that is limited to gold members only.
In addition the USB Stick thing has to do with copy protection so it may have a discriminatory effect against non gold member but not a discriminatory intent.
"We’ve added a photo option called Big Shot. In Big Shot, there is no compression and the file is output at 3840x2160 resolution. Like regular photos in Forza 3, players can take Big Shots during races from the pause menu, from within replays, as well as in the career homespace (more on those below). Obviously, these Big Shot files are huge (click the image above to see a Big Shot at full size). As a result, you can only save a very limited number of these to the server at a time. As with WMV files in Forza 3, your best workflow will be to take a shot, upload it to the server, retrieve it and then replace it with another shot. Because Xbox 360 file I/O is encrypted, there is no support for saving these files in an unencrypted fashion to a USB drive for easy PC retrieval. On the bright side, with no compression and massive resolution, Big Shot produces print quality photographs."

Who told you that? It's a damn code u put in and retrieve.... You don't need gold for that, you need gold for the storefront, picture/video upload, auction house, gifting and online play. But for regular codes XBL silver is enough
Now, when T10 gift you cars, you need Gold...... many hate it and it's kinda wrong but, why have an xbox without gold? it's pretty useless without it. And yes I know money doesn't grow on trees, but a 3 month card aint that expensive

No one told me, I read it on the retailers' very own websites. They specifically stated "Gold membership" and in case you didn't have it, they gave you a link to it. Just pay £35 and you'll be fine.

That's what I thought tbh. I mean, to unlock one car you need Gold membership??? Seemed a bit strange....In any case, I'll have to settle with the crappy Impreza from Game since they are the only retailer who actually have the LCE available. Can't see too many people buying 5 different copies of the game just to get 5 cars.
"Terms and Conditions UK ONLY. Limited Offer while stocks last. Customers who have already pre-ordered this product will also receive the bonus item. You will need Xbox LIVE GOLD membership in order to access your bonus item ( If you don't have Xbox LIVE GOLD membership you can buy it now ).
The whole link to buy a gold membership after INCORRECTLY mentioning it as being a requirement seems less like a mistake and more like a scam.

If it's true, which I doubt. Just use your inevitable free 48hour trial card.
Easy.
Easy.
I've been put off the idea, anyhow. I really wanted that 1M Coupe but since I'm getting the LCE from Game and they only have the crappy Impreza, I'll have to skip it. Hopefully, they'll be available in a couple of months time.

I don't think that those exclusives are being marketed correctly.... it's kinda confusing
Does that mean that you start the game with that exclusive car in your garage? or is it that the only way to have that car in your game is preordering at that given retailer? I would be more inclined to think that it's the former and not the latter, cuz I would be raging if it was

It's the latter, unfortunately.
If you pre-order at Amazon, you get the Alfa Giulietta and a code which you redeem. If you pre-order at Shopto.net, you get the 1M Coupe. And so on. In other words, the only way to obtain all 5 pre-order exclusives, is to buy 5 copies of the game at the different retailers who do this offer. Much like was the case with TDU2.

to clarify the preorder bonuses that need a gold account are the cars that are gifted to you (such as the unicorn car they already sent for fm3) NOT the DLC cars you unlock with codes.

Before I go any further - there are always deals on cheap XBOX LIVE GOLD - right now you can get 1 month Gold for £1 - and how about there might be a 48hrs Xbox Live Gold free card with the game?
I can't believe people still moan about this before this generation DLC did not exist (besides PC which had expansion packs). So before you bought the console you knew there was such a thing called Xbox Live Gold and it was a paid subscription service and you knew you had to be online on GOLD to get DLC.
Its all in the name DLC (downloadable content) i.e, you have to be online - if you don't want to be online dont moan about DLC.
And just to add Xbox Live Gold is worth its price tag, PSN is by far inferior.

Yeah, I pay 1000 € for a TV, 200-300 € for a console and 300 € for games per year, but the 30-40 € a year subscription is way to much for me. I can not understand those guys.
If someone does not want to use it, then it is okay, case closed. But whining that certain features are not working, because I dont want to pay, is just sad. The Xbox 360 is only half the fun without XBL, you lose too many features.
