EA sends NFS: Carbon content to Xbox Live |
Ó
Stephen Colbert's feelings over predicting his own loss at an awards show put it best: it's great that you got it right, but it also sucks that you got it right as well. A few days back, we made an article about the release of the Need for Speed: Carbon Collector's Edition. We raised the point of whether it was worth it because "who's to say they won't just sell the CE game addons through Xbox Live in the future?" Like it or not, the prediction was accurate, and it's annoying.
Electronic Arts is offering to unlock specific content for Need for Speed: Carbon through Xbox Live at a price. At the same time, they're selling the premium content Collector's Edition holders might have expected to get as an exclusive bonus. That being said, you can purchase the Collector's Edition upgrade for 800 MS points, and below is the list of other things gamers with cash can pay EA to unlock for them. While we can understand offering the unlockables for gamers with less time, the Collector's Edition Upgrade is the thing that really hurts gamers' hearts.
Sigh... from golf, to football, to The Godfather and now Carbon. Next thing you know, they'll ask us to pay to play online with other people. Let's hope that prediction never comes to pass.

Well the demo was promising but I won't support such ripoffs. Sorry EA no go.
EA is really going down hill. I bought Tiger 07, but I will not buy another EA game unless they get their act together.
No more EA games for me. Fed up with the ports, unfinished games and endless sequels. EA are the scum of the industry, trying to take us all for everything we have.
what the hell is this *****? you know there will be noobs out there that will buy this crap, and enough noobs will buy it, so it will only encourage ea to sell more crap just like this.
gj ea, your finally in my *****list.
Thats why the PC version is far superior.
Damn...I didnt like Underground 1 or 2, and Most Wanted was ok...but I like this one, however, selling the collectors edition as an upgrade is retarded. I paid good money for it in stores and I should have the exclusive content to myself...
serves the idiots right , after the oblivion stuff did you all REALLY not expect it to get more common practice to do this?
The people that buy this extra content stuff deserve all they get..mugs!
they shoud jst sell the whole game in 1 they cn charge an extra fiver if they wnt but all the game or none of it. they hav enterd these cool cars (kunixeg etc) so y only let us use them in a collectors edition hw is 3 cars worth a fiver?!!!!!
