Don't get me wrong, I think it was a smart move by turn 10 and microsoft, in the business sense, but I have some personal friends, who are as well racing enthusiasts, in collegue who are Arcade users and were eager to get the game, and now we'll just play at my house because they can't afford to upgrade their system and don't want to pay full for half a game, and I think that some arcade users will feel the same. I know that you can get a cheap HDD in e-Bay, but most people think that they shouldn't have to pay extra from what they have already payed for the console and they are entitled to those complaints. |
Yes, but the question that beggs to be asked here is "did they pay for a hard drive when they bought the console?" I didn't think so. This means by buying a hard drive online, they are not buying something that should have come with the SKU they decided to purchase, they knew what their options were, they chose the Arcade. Also, one final note, the Nurburgring track is mainly used for several topuring car races, the rest is passenger/sports car tuning. Hardly a highly used track in terms of racing. Anyway, I suspect it's on that disc to entice people to LOAD THE FRICKING MAP ON THEIR MEMORY CARD!
