great news indeed. i have been sitting on the fence about this game just because there are so many other good games coming out. however at this price it would be hard to turn this quality racer down. great gaphics, fresh MMO concept, and some fine tuned gameplay should be well worth the $40

In the US maybe - in the UK it's the equivalent of $90!

As far as I'm concerned that's a disgrace, and for THAT reason, I'm not buying it, nor any other Atari product, until they stop ripping the UK off.

Sadly the cheap price will only apply in the US. Europe and the rest of the world are going to be paying the usual high price for the game.

Have a read of the article. They blame it on the lower number of 360 users in the other areas.

Thats sweet. I'm going to go hunting for this game this week. Maybe somebody will put it out early(gotta love best buy employees)

LOL so true. I usually get newly released games the night before, about 30 minutes before BB closes.

But about this game, i'm planning on getting it but I read that the reason why this game will only cost $40 is because of the loads of microtransactions that will be released for this game.



I would hate to spend X amount points just to get some new parts on some tint or rims (already bad enough MS has me blowing money on them). I'll wait until the day after release to see what Atari will do.

Not to side track drastically (and im no america hater, ive got a lot of freinds in the states) but....



And yet were still being asked to lower OUR oil consumptions by bush here in the UK (i know were not energy saving perfect btw, but far closer to the word than most americans), whilst paying double the price for petrol, games, electronics, surfboards, etc. (random list i know, but you get the jist).

I think that is what sucks nowadays, glad ive had my rant

Also, it makes far more sense to lower the costs to other countries to encourage 360 buying than to price slash explicitley for the large amount of followers in the US (who would pay the normal amount for the game anyway).

im still waiting for some reviews guys =) i dont likfe ign i like what yall have to say about it...

oh, i pour electricity on my corn flakes in the morning =) i love it electric bill last month was 758$

game is totally worth it. Although the player created challenges are ridiculous. Hmm, I probably need a better car.

Haha! it's a Kick ass game! I got mine for $62 SGD. which is about..... $39 dollars!

Lol!
