We're fucking built for this shit!
Standard Edition has a $10 credit listed, nothing for the LCE, which is sold out anyway.

This is not how I am.
Welp, gently caress. Didn't get the LCE, but I get a gift card, some points, and the BMW M1. It's not perfect, but at least I get to play the drat game(and pump money into DLC that I would probably get for free from buying the LCE). Is there any chance 1600 points will pay for the season pass by itself? I haven't bought microsoft points in forever and I am without my xbox currently.

I believe it's going for 2400 points.

You could use the Best Buy gift card to buy more MS points to make up the difference.

Rivals mode is awesome but it's going to be the end of me once the full game comes out. Still I managed a top 1000 time in the M5, after like 20 laps of smashing into cars going three wide into corners :argh:

The gripe around 18:15 where they talk about how slow the AI cars are, and how the reviewers were winning races and hanging with higher class cars without having to do much tuning is a bit disconcerting. I hope that on the Hard and Professional difficulty levels that the AI puts up a challenge.

So I havn't recieved a confirmation email yet on my second LCE order that I had to rebook through Target. Stupid me closed out the window after purchase assuming a confirmation was being sent, therfore I don't have an order number to check on it. The purchase did go through on my card though. Anyone else not recieve a confirmation? I'm hoping I just put the wrong email in by mistake and that they didn't gently caress this up, or are debating on whether they had stock either.

I'm covered on my copy, but this was supposed to be a present for someone and now I feel like it may fall through.

Is there any particular reason that they're the only manufacturer to not be in the game? Please don't tell me it's some bullshit exclusive agreement with 'Gran Turismo 5'.

I reckon some of the older RUFs might pop up in future DLC too. Driver: SF had 7 of them after all, so it's not like they're impossible to find. Also maybe a chance of a Gemballa or two, since Turn 10 isn't adverse to lesser-known names and they did hold a 'ring record a while back.

For 'Need for Speed'? Why the hell would a manufacturer known for performance sign an exclusive agreement for an arcade game, rather than a simulation? Is this too stupid of a question considering the only answer will have to use the $ symbol?

EA thought they were going to be competing in the sim market with the Need For Speed: Shift spin-off which is probably why they yanked the licence. Of course Shift 2 bombed spectacularly so it's unlikely they will be going back to it. So hey, maybe Porsche DLC in the future once EA gets over it's own hump.
