Forza 3 DLC helps Haiti

Turn 10 is providing Forza Motorsport 3 owners the unique opportunity to help donate to Haiti and help provide relief after the devastating earthquake while also picking up something nice for themselves. It has released a number of new Forza 3 downloadable content packs on the Xbox Live Marketplace, and if you purchase one of them, the company will donate to Save the Children.

The dlc pack that will prompt Turn 10 to donate is called the “VIP Membership Car Pack” and costs 800 ($10) Microsoft Points. This dlc originally came free with limited edition copies of Forza 3, and is available to purchase for the first time. When you buy this dlc, you’ll get VIP Forza 3 membership, which will make you stand out and appear more prominently when playing online, and the 2007 Ferrari F430 Scuderia, 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, 2007 Porche 911 GT3 RS, 2008 Aston Martin DBS and 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 to drive in the game. Save the Children will then get $10 for each copy of the “VIP Membership Car Pack” purchased, and Turn 10 will donate up to $100,000 to the charity for this promotion. So Turn 10 will donate to Save the Children for the first 10,000 times people buy the “VIP Membership Car Pack.”

The other three dlc packs that were released all came free with new copies of both the regular and limited editions of Forza 3. So if you bought it new, there’s really no point in reading anymore. If you bought your copy of Forza 3 used, let’s check out what you can now buy from the marketplace. Each pack listed below costs 400MP ($5), and some are better deals than others. I’d say the “Motorsport Legends Car Pack” and “Sidewinder Proving Grounds Track Pack” sound like the best deals.

• “Benchmark High Speed Ring Track Pack”: You get a four mile Benchmark Speedway oval track and Benchmark parking lot to race on. “Tag” and “Keep It Clean” multiplayer games can be played on the parking lot.
• “Motorsport Legends Car Pack”: Includes 10 cars: 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, 1960 Chevrolet Corvette, 1964 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage, 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA Stradale, 1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, 1967 Lamborghini Miura P400, 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona Hemi, 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R, 1980 Fiat 131 Abarth and 1981 BMW Motorsport M1.
• “Sidewinder Proving Grounds Track Pack”: It includes 18 updated courses from Forza 2‘s Sidewinder Proving Grounds and access to Sidewinder leaderboards.
