GamesRadar writes: "System 3 is rewarding existing owners of Ferrari Challenge on PS3 by reducing the cost of its sequel, Ferrari: The Race Experience for its release on PSN tomorrow. It's not a massive reduction in price, as fans get it for £9.99 instead of £11.99, but a lot of companies would do well to follow their example."
Sounds like a great idea, doesnt have to be a huge difference but anything is always appreciated. Only issue i see with this is that you can only really do this with DLC type games that are tied to an account.
yeah i'm surprised companies haven't done so, like even a 5 dollar discount if you got last year madden (With access code or something) or last year call of duty.
lol i dont know whats happening with this game, first its release date was 29/09, then delayed by 1 week and today its still not released
Er yes it fella. Its been on since I got home from work. (UK Resident) Theres even a trial version for ps plus subscribers.
All Age Gaming's Phong Nguyen brings us the fifth edition of All Age Gaming's "The Week That Was". This week saw more PS3 slim rumours, dominant Wii sales and information on the 360's NXE update. Let's get stuck into it.
System 3 published new screenshots and artwork from the DLC of Ferrari Challenge that will arrive in May. Check them out.
sounds good, might get this now.
finally
now that is a patch.
i've never seen that many things patch at once.
