FM5 Marketplace

The Forza 5 Marketplace has long been a bone of contention with the players largely due to its absence -- when the base game released the Marketplace was NOT available, and it stayed that way for months. In fact it was not until April 2014 -- nearly four months after launch -- that it finally materialized in the game.

That said, it was not really that serious an issue since the DLC offerings were still available via the Games Marketplace on Xbox LIVE - so for most players it was an issue of convenience and the wonder if there were other items that might be available there that were absent in the LIVE offerings.
