The digital pre-order announcement said:
In addition, from launch at retail you’ll find a new option for building your ultimate fantasy car collection in-game credits will be purchasable through PS Store or your friendly local retailer at the following denominations: 500K, 1 million, 2.5 million or 7 million credits which you’ll be able to apply in-game for cars and parts.

That means we can buy in-game money for REAL CASH. Sounds like this trope, isn't it? :rolleyes:

Discuss.
@Johnnypenso via @sega freak send me the following prices of credit pack prices for European players:

From Belgian/Dutch site Game Mania.

The amounts are rather odd, I think. 500k, 1 million, 2.5 million and then 7 million, what?

And yes, I think the 20million credit limit may have been removed.
 
May be PD is finally cares about making extra money with in-game credits & DLC.
 
Relax people. It's not like we haven't all learned how to make credits as fast as possible anyways. Most of us will have most of the cars within a week or two anyways. It's not like it's hard. Now, can you drive the cars fast? That's the question.
 
This is why the gaming industry is going downhill. Many developers are ripping off their consumers these days. Its sad that gamers who are not aware of how this money-making system can ruin their experience. They'll be bored in less than two weeks for not actually collecting the cars themselves.

That's not ripping anyone off. People could, I don't know, use their brain and actually play the game as opposed to paying more money to get something they could probably earn anyways.

That statement assumes that collecting the cars is fun. Driving is fun.

But there are more casual gamers than hardcore gamers who will buy the game, and many of them DO pay for this stuff.
 
I posted this news to GT6 subreddit (/r/GT6) and I came out with suggestion that PD may nerf the Seasonal Events payouts. Thoughts? :indiff:

You missed the point by a good long shot. There is nothing being limited in the game (other than actually playing the game) when this is offered. All this does is make it easier to get into your favorite car. There is no requirement to buy the credits.

Ok, yeah, that would change things.
 
I don't personally care either way. I rarely play online for several reasons, and it won't impede on myself playing the game (career) correctly.
 
dont see it as too big a deal, just like in gt5, people will eventually have more credits than they know what to do with.

..or figure out how to do donuts underneath the tracks to gain them.
 
what d'you guys reckon on the pricing structure for the options ?

In UK

Guessing at:

500k = £1.99
1ml = £3.99
2.5ml = £5.49
7ml = £8.99 or £10.49 or something...?
 
Okay, so normally I give PD the benefit of the doubt with all they do, allowing them to show that they can fix things or improve things without people complaining. But this time, I am disagreeing completely with this decision.
Thank you PD for making a stupid move.
