Need for Speed: The Run limited edition comes with trio of extra supercars

Like buying games brand new? EA sure wants you to, as its "Limited Edition" of Need for Speed: The Run incentivizes just such a purchase with the bonus inclusion of three fancy sports cars -- for the same price as the regular ol' "normal" edition, no less. Along with special access to a Porsche 911 Carrera S, a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and a Lamborghini Aventador, picking up the "Limited Edition" nets you "five exclusive Challenges" to slay with your high-powered sports car of choice.

The only version of the Limited Edition that we can spot thus far is on EA's own Origin PC download store for the totally-normal-edition price of $49.99, so it stands to reason that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions are similarly priced ($59.99 on consoles). Just to be sure, we've asked EA for a better idea of what to expect, price-wise, come November.

Update: EA clarified that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will cost the standard $59.99, and the "Limited Edition" will operate similarly to the "Limited Edition" version of Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Will I have the pleasure of paying $25 a year for a 20% discount on new cars? I don't know if I could stand not playing this game 3 days early.

@FriedConsole Give it a year or two.

I was hoping for a special pair of ingame sneakers that would let me skip the silly quick time events.

@slickie Thats part of the Origin super car and stuff digital bonus pack with added virtual stuff (and two weeks latter dlc) only $150.

When they did this for Hot Pursuit I dont think I EVER saw a "regular edition" on the shelves, even now as old as the game is all I see is the "limited edition" logo on the cover.

Oh wow they added three ca......yeah i still don't care. Stale franchise is stale.

ZL1 camaro doesn't even have specs released yet.

@Prince David
6.2L Supercharged V8 with 550hp and 550 lb.-ft. of torque. Anyway its not like they need the exact specs, it's an arcade game after all. Btw not even the new Carrera that they teased has its specs released yet... they haven't even shown the new car yet.

Not too excited about the random QTE on-foot stuff, but if this is more of the awesome Hot Pursuit style racing that it apparently is, I just may have to pick this one up!

they can add a million LE cars i still won't touch their online pass rubbish, EA can go to hell for all i care.

@(Unverified) Soon looks like you won't be playing any games every ones doing it as they say... *two meanings*

PEGI SIX TEEEEEEEEENNNNNN

The 911 has and always will be a VW Beetle, and the Camaro is for murderers. The only interesting car here is the Aventador.

@AutobotIronhide Love the Top Gear reference... LOL!

@Platoesq

Top Gear ftw.

@AutobotIronhide you may watch top gear but that doesn't mean you know anything about cars. it is silly to compare 911's to beatles. you just have a creepy man crush on jeremy clarkson.

Hmm. I want to believe, but I'll have to give it a try before I commit any cash-dollars. I hope they release a demo ahead of time.
