PGR3 Styled out

New Style Pack for racer includes a dozen new rides, Photo Mode integration, minigames for 400 points ($5).

33 Comments

Back in early June, a scan of an unidentified magazine showed what was upcoming on Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade plate. At the time, the accuracy of the information was questionable, and it has since proved both hit (Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Chapter 2 was revealed) and miss (Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting in June).

One more hit was confirmed today, as Microsoft has announced that the Style Pack for Project Gotham Racing 3 is now available for download. The Style Pack costs 400 Marketplace points, or $5.

There are 12 cars (listed below) in the download, as well as the new minigames Free Roam Points, Team Free Roam Points, and Cat and Mouse. Those who download the pack will also get Photo Mode integration, allowing them to show off their best moments online.

Microsoft has also answered the call of gamers who like to handpick their downloadable content. In addition to picking up all the new content for 400 points, users can download each car individually for 60 points ($.75) each. The following is a list of the new cars in the Style Pack:

BMW M6 (2006)
BMW Z8 (2001)
BMW M3 CSL (2003)
BMW MINI COOPER S (2005)
Gumpert Apollo Coupe 4.2 V8 (2005)
2005 Chrysler Firepower Concept
Ferrari 365 GTB4 "Daytona" (1968)
Ferrari F430 Challenge (2006)
Mercedes CLK DTM AMG (C209)
Pagani Zonda F (2005)
RUF R.K. Spyder 3.8 (2006)
Vanwall GPR V12 (2006)

In addition to the new content, Achievement360Points.com has word that four new achievements have been added to the game, bringing the total number of gamerscore points up to an even 1,000.

Project Gotham Racing 3 is rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older and retails for $49.99. For more on the game, race over to GameSpot's review.

This is cool but a little too late now with Prey, Chromehounds, and Dead Rising around the corner. Not to mention the slew of Arcade games coming and fall releases on the horizon. Still cool though. As for those saying that other add ons should offer additional achievements as an incentive, don't forget, NO game is allowed to have more than 1000 total points according to Microsoft's policy. Only reason PGR3 is getting away with it is cause they were shy of a full K upon the game's release. So, unless other games are missing points from the retail release you will not see this again and I sure hope developers don't see this as a reason to put less than a K in the game at release and then charge more for the additional achievements later... that'd be pretty shady.

When I went to go get this download it said I had already downloaded it and didn't charge me. Did anyone else have that same thing happen to them.

I bought the speed pack and I'm loving the new cars they added. I'll be getting the style pack as soon as I can get on Live to get it.

Other developers should take note. This is how to do downloadable content on a console. Good sized collections of things for $5 is perfectly reasonable. And they are even offering the cars seperatly just incase someone only wants a couple of them. For once I'm not groaning at announcements of this type. Lets hope other games follow this trend and not the one Oblivion is using right now.

Yes, you may charge me $5 if I need two hands to count all the new swag I'll enjoy. Especially since I can pick up the game for $30.

It's not on my marketplace! (norway). I want it now, dam it. And what's that photo mode integration thingy? Is it what I think it is? That u can either send the pics u take in photo mode to your friends? Or put them on some web site thing? That sounds awesome! I've taken so many cool pics that I want to share with people from all over the lovely world! =D

nice update - I like the idea of new achievement points. When paying for new add-ons achievement points should be added as an incentive to buy. (example clearing chapter 2 in GRAW or new quests in Oblivion).

Five bucks is fine with me to get some good stuff not a bad price at all.But because how long they have taken to bring them out I do not need them any more seeing as I have other 360 games I am playing now.But its good to see some added stuff none the less. As for the part about new achievements it is always good to see more.
