Pay for Hot Pursuit car unlocks

Need for Speed DLC cuts corners.

Thank goodness we don't have to unlock all of the Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit cars ourselves; thank goodness for the new corner-cutting downloadable content.

The Racer Timesaver Pack and the SPCD Timesaver pack unlock all of the cars on each side of the law. Hence the name. Each Timesaver pack costs 320 Microsoft Points.

If you haven't got that kind money then you can gradually uncover these delicious motorcars in career and multiplayer modes.

The two Timesaver add-ons are available now on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Is this a sign of things to come?

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, released last Friday, is "an unqualified triumph", according to Eurogamer editor Tom Bramwell. "For Need for Speed, it's a return to critical form to match, justify and potentially expand the series' enduring popularity."

Which is better: Hot Pursuit on PS3 or Hot Pursuit on 360?
