Cheer for all the trolls. It never said anywhere you can't play Forza 3. The 2nd disc will most likely act like DLC content just like what they did with Platinum edition of Forza2 (or GOTY Oblivion). If you have HDD or enough space on your MU then you can download the stuff off the 2nd disc for the main game.

Where the hell does it said that Arcade unit can not run Forza 3? I love all the FUD and butthurts of PS3 fans because their E3 was a big thud.

You're the one trolling here. We know it will run Forza 3, but if you pay for the full game, and your Arcade unit can't run THE FULL GAME, then you've been played.

THAT is the issue.

You can buy Rock Band 2 for $60. But it would cost you another $100 to experience the game properly that you paid for. You can't run the full game.

Is it an issue?

You can buy Gears 2 and not be able to use the free multiplayer maps because you're not connected to the internet with your console.

Is it an issue?

So if Turn 10 didnt have that 2nd disc, everyone would still be asked to pay $60 and the people with the HDD would miss out on the extra content. If the disc exists then the people with no HDD are no worse off than before and the people with HDD are better off.

Is it really an issue? No one is better off if theres only one disc, some people are better off with 2-3 discs. Therefore theres no net loss for the people without HDD from this and theres a net gain from people with HDDs.

Of course it's an issue. Consumers are promised that the Arcade can play the exact same games the other SKUs can, but Arcade owners will have to settle for a gimped version unless they want to fork out the cash to get the full value of their money that went to buying Forza 3. It's another thing that you can't download extra DLC which was made to be just that, extras, addons etc.

And Rock Band 2 demands you buy all the instruments to get the full experience no matter what console you own. You don't have to buy a fifth peripheral, just because you happen to own a specific SKU of a console.
