    wow good find.... very tempted by Hot Pursuit, great price... anybody have it? Worth playing? Curious how it performs, as some prior NFS games ran like crap for me. But I absolutely love SHIFT.

    Thanks for the link!

    Only thing I know is that EA download service sucks. Some here had major issues with Bad Company 2, Battlefield 2, and I had issues with Lord of the Rings RTS.

    I have used it for quite a few games. Never had an issue. Although there are a few bugs in EA's download manager.

    Are the collectors editions just DLC add-ons I assume?

    I highly recommend Hot Pursuit. Playing as the police with various weapons at your disposal is incredibly fun. I've dumped about 30hrs into it ;)

    I'd rank it as the top 3 best racing game ever made.

    NFS Hot Pursuit is well worth the price. I have spent hours on unlocking all the racer and cop cars and spent even more time on the multi-player mode. Its really addictive.

    I was hoping this was some sort of Steam sale :/
    Might look into it either way.
