The publisher is hoping some of those users have deep pockets because the latest premium car for the online racer does not come cheap. EA today announced that the Koenigsegg CCX "Elite" Edition, the first "premium elite" car to hit Need for Speed World, is now available in the in-game store for $100. For those who feel that's a bit pricey, it is currently on sale for $75 through December 21. [/quote]
I bought it
They must be getting their ideas from Gamerfirst (aka moneyfirst). Sadly enough someone will buy it.
Wow that's insane
Watch out Railworks, you got a contender for dumbest DLC packs
Next thing you'll see are DLC cars sold at retail price.
Cool, a virtual car for a 100 bucks. I want 10.
[QUOTE=plokoon9619;33745896]Watch out Railworks, you got a contender for dumbest DLC packs[/QUOTE] Take that back please. RW has some nice DLCs.
" For those who feel that's a bit pricey, it is currently on sale for $75 through December 21." For a single 'premium' car that's still waaay too much, are you kidding me? .50C would be justified... [QUOTE=t0cketty;33745912]Take that back please. RW has some nice DLCs.[/QUOTE] yeah if your autistic or something or have this psychotic obsession with trains.
For that price you can get a much better racing game on any platform and their subsequent DLC.
[QUOTE=n0cturni;33745942]For that price you can get a much better racing game on any platform and their subsequent DLC.[/QUOTE] if not much much less
How are they justifying the price for the car? Is it a pay2win game? I wonder if people with this car will win 90% of their races.

25% off?!?!?! I'll take twenty.
Oh shit, EA has raised the bar. Let's see how Activision responds. Maybe with a $100 CoD map pack?
I'd buy it
A premium car, a virtual one that costs a hundred dollars, wow. So if you see anyone on NFS world, you know right away that the guy is loaded
[QUOTE=Frisk;33745999]Oh shit, EA has raised the bar. Let's see how Activision responds. Maybe with a $100 CoD map pack?[/QUOTE] For $100 Activision will spit on your copy of MW3
At least it's for an exceptionally nice car.....not a shit one. But still, that's crazy. Even if you can afford it, the only real reason to buy it is to brag that you did. Yeah, it will be fast and shit, but that's not [i]why[/i] you bought it.
What the fuck EA, now you've gone from being greedy pricks to just flat-out cartoonishly evil.
Pay-to-win to its finest, basically. Last time I saw a game ask for more money than that, it was Champions Online and it would allow you to play the game for free with all premium advantages for the rest of your life with fucktons of new content.
[QUOTE=Frisk;33745999]Oh shit, EA has raised the bar. Let's see how Activision responds. Maybe with a $100 CoD map pack?[/QUOTE] But Activision doesn't change anything...
[QUOTE=Frisk;33745999]Oh shit, EA has raised the bar. Let's see how Activision responds. Maybe with a $100 CoD map pack?[/QUOTE] A $100 map.
I think EA is now just trying to see how far they can push this bullshit.
[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;33746166]A $100 map.[/QUOTE] Or a model variation of the Ak-47 with a new slightly different texture and one more rail, except you one shot everything with it, it auto-aims and it has unlimited bullets.
[QUOTE=n0cturni;33745942]For that price you can get a much better racing game on any platform and their subsequent DLC.[/QUOTE] For that price you could get a used, force feedback racing wheel with pedals in good shape.
wow can't believe this is the same company that published the C&C franchise (then quietly closed westwood and turned the series into shit)
Pix- *cough* I mean cars now priced closer to retail car price!
[QUOTE=thisispain;33746343]wow can't believe this is the same company that published the C&C franchise (then quietly closed westwood and turned the series into shit)[/QUOTE] I believe it.
Like I said, Activision and EA are in a competition for the biggest douche award.
