To quote: Hey guys - Need for Speed The Run is out! Finally you can take to the streets as Jack and race for your life across the United States.

Of course, you can also start competing with your friends via http://www.needforspeed.com/therun/autolog/dashboard. Speaking of Autolog, it makes its return and is much improved from the previous iteration. You'll be able to track your entire career and compare your times against your friends as you continue to play and compete.

Oh, and let's not forget that the http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rTi9D3Gf8CM. You can create your own playlist of races to play with your friends, or you can jump straight into a race in progress!

ummm $30-40? a regular ps3 game is $60. I don't know where you get your prices from, but we definitely don't get games for $40! lol

[elser1]

oh well amazon LOL

still better than $99 or whaterver trying to price match down to get it for $78 and you still get all the free crap!!

[moja]

Wow, that is crap- I agree. The exchange rate is pretty even for the two currencies, so..?

I know in Japan games are ridiculous (for the US Dollar, anyway).

[elser1]

are you from japan moja?

[GrandpaHomer]

This game is poo anyway - rated barelly 5 out of 10 in majority of the reviews and I was playing it for 45 minutes in store and - meh. They're spitting too many NFS games - 3 in one year - too keep the quality ...

[HeyManHRU]

The Need for speed franchise is going downhill fast, if they keep this up the franchise will probably die with other and better racing games now being released.
