Forza Motorsport 3 dated for US

Microsoft has given Forza Motorsport 3 a North American release date of 27th October. Confirmation of a European date hopefully isn't too far behind.

A quick glance around shows local retailers GAME, Play and Amazon reckon 23rd October as the European date. HMV, however, claims the game will arrive on 30th October.

Those dates coincide with the Eurogamer Expo 2009, by the way, which takes place in Leeds and London this year. Coo. Amazing.

Developer Turn 10 thinks Forza Motorsport 3 is "the best simulator on any console". E3 footage was convincing, but Turn 10 needs to pull out the stops as racing behemoth Gran Turismo 5 also finally wheels out of the garage this winter. Probably.
