NFS Carbon: 3 unlockable cars now on Marketplace
So EA has just put up new in-game content on Xbox Live Marketplace. There are now three new cars just waiting for you to take the wheel and take ’em out for a spin in Need for Speed: Carbon (Xbox360, PS3, Wii, DS, PC). Here are the new in-game content for NFS Carbon now up on XBLM:
- 1970 Plymouth Hem Cuda
- 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
- 1967 Shelby GT500
Now, we know we said ‘unlockable’ cars in the title, and they ARE unlockable, you can get all of these cars as you progress through the Career Mode in the game. A fact that once again leads to raised eyebrows because some are saying that this is obviously another attempt by EA to milk money from consumers, etc. One user by the name of oqwarrior brings up a good point when he commented, “Why would I pay for something that I can unlock for FREE just by playing the game?”
True. But if you think about it, there ARE some people who would rather get the good stuff now, and they wouldn’t mind shelling out 80 MS points for each of these cars, and this is precisely why content such as these are still being put up on Marketplace. If you’re getting pissed with news like this, just think of it this way: they’re giving consumers a choice. You’re not being forced to buy the content anyway, and you could easily opt to get the hot rides the hard-earned way.
So anyway, now that all that drama’s out of the way, you guys should know that the three new cars for NFS Carbon are available in all regions except Japan (who won’t be getting this content until December 21st) and cost 80 MS points each.
