Electronic Arts has delivered three cars onto the Xbox Live Marketplace for you to purchase and drive around in, at least virtually. They've also deliverd some new images of the game. The cars will cost you, but we can give you the screens for free.
Need for Speed Carbon is in stores right now, and you can earn new cars just by driving your way to success, but EA is giving you the choice to skip to the front of the line with these downloads.
Gamers as a group were written off as apathetic slackers, not so long ago, but the discussion of cheats for a fee always gets blood boiling and gamers arguing about economics and earning your unlockables the old fashioned way. Looks like the work ethic runs deep in parts of the gaming community, contrary to popular stereotypes.
I don't know about all that "work makes you free" stuff, but I'm too cheap to buy unlockables.
