    I wasn't first just thought I'd say that now NFS might be fun to play now

    even though Most Wanted was the best one

    Good, it just wasn't quite a racing game sans Ferrari.  Shift is probably the best in the series since the superb Hot Pursuit 2 and Underground.  I shudder every time I think of the cutscenes and story in recent NFS games.  I don't need a story.  I need racing xD

    Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 was the GREATEST Need for Speed game to ever come out. If they want this game to go back to its glory days they need to return to Hot Pursuit. Of course with customizations. Need for Speed used to be the top arcade arcade racer but it has fallen to Midnight Club. It's only a matter of time before Rockstar brings out a new Midnight Club to put EA and Need for Speed in the rear view mirror. We will see if EA and Criterion can bring back Need for Speed as the award winner it used to be.

    800 MS points?  Really?  Turn 10 only charges 400 for their Forza 3 car packs.

    stop buying these useless DLC..they are just cars!!..you guys are encouraging the developers to not include these in the first place and sell it to you for an additional 10 bucks..seriously..60 bucks is high enough, and you guys are just letting them milk you more

    If this isn't coming to the PS3 also it's one more reason to not buy EA games. Great job EA, you need customers and this is how you take care of PS3 owners?

    I am personally sick of the NFS franchise. I have ProStreet. Its terrible. About the only good one was Carbon.
