Default Ford Street Racing XR Edition

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I'll give it a stab! I just saw a mention of this game in a Video Ezy catalogue and was interested to find out about it. I tried looking it up on google but didn't find anything. Has anyone else heard of this? They mentioned that it is an Australia only edition, and features a "1970 XY GT, 1971 GTHO Phase 3, 2003 XR8 and current model Falcon XR8". I reccon i would buy it just for that!! I only own an xbox, and they only listed playstation as the platform. Just caught my interest.

Heard Something about this , but sounds like BS to me , Why XBOX would bring a Solely Australian Edition Out would be Unethical for them , yanks !

That being said, NFS III was released in oz with the EL GT and HSV GTS, NFS IV was released with a XR8 and a couple of HSV's.

More specific, Ford Racing 3 was released with the XB GT & BA XR8

So why does it sound so unbelievable that this game could be released similarly.

though it would be disappointing if it were only released on PS2 & PSP, it would be so much better on a PC.

Sweet, and only $50! Although that has me worried, anyone brought the Ford Racing Series before?

Is it going to be dodgey?

Give it time, no doubt it will come out on other platforms, given its not being released until March

I've got Ford racing 3 (with the purple BA XR8 on the cover)... The graphics are decent, but as said previously VERY arcade.

Yeah, I wasnt that impressed with the Demo of Ford Racing 3, but after finding numerous copies in EB Games for $10 (PC), I thought I'd give it a go. The physics are a lot better than in the demo, likewise the graphics. For $10 you may as well give it a go.

I got Ford Street Racing and it is a huge improvement over Ford Racing 3. It isn't all that bad!

I've got Ford Racing 3 on XBOX.

I like driving games, I like Fords. But I don't really like this. I played it through. But it hasn't gotten any repeat play.
