Codemasters are joining the war against pre-owned games by adding DLC enticements with the launch of ‘Race Driver: Grid Reloaded’, the PS3 Platinum version of GRID. Due for release11th March the game will include the previously available ’8 Ball’ DLC and the new ‘Prestige Pack’ that includes the Australian Bathurst circuit and ten brand new cars including a bunch of Ferraris. Is it ‘National Ferrari DLC’ month? Need for Speed Shift got some recently as did, er, Ferrari Challenge.
The game will retail at the slightly-pricier-than-budget £24.99 and the ‘Prestige Pack’ will also launch on the PSN the same week for £7.99. An Xbox version of the pack will follow as well as compilation pack of Grid and the original ‘Colin McCrae: Dirt’, yours for the princely sum of £29.99.

I bought the Burnout pack the other day and that was value for money, this is not. Isn’t Grid 2 just around the corner too?

Would have thought the next Codemasters release would be their F1 game

This. I don’t think we’ll see another GRID for a while yet. Let’s see if they can get the F1 game out anytime soon first!

I think I read that the release date was in June! It should be out now; the season starts next weekend.

Fingers crossed. I want it more than GT5 :(

No GR!! Wouldn’t you rather rip around Monaco with 15 other people in an all-Ferrari true F1 sim race on GT5? :) Hopefully Codies F1 game isn’t too arcadey. And if Brundle doesn’t make an appearance, I’m out.

How about trophy support? That’s most likely to stop people selling it on if they haven’t done already.

I was going to ask the same. Nowadays, no trophy means no copies sold. Come on Codies, it’s just a patch… copy and paste the achievements list from the Xbox version!

I would prefer trophies to new DLC

I was going to ask this too, I had the game then got rid of it for Shift, would definitely give it another go if it had trophy support. Yes I am that much of a trophy wh*re!

So, trophies? I loved GRID. I’ve already put endless hours into the game, but I’d happily start over for some silverware.

Exactly what I was thinking. Strange to do all this and not add a few trophies.

I was NOT expecting this… I thought they’d stopped supporting GRID. I will be buying this

Whilst the cars look cool…
Ferrari F430
Bugatti Veyron
Ferrari F550 Maranello
Mercedes McLaren SLR 722
Lotus 2-Eleven
Lamborghini Gallardo GT
Mazda Furai
Jaguar XKR GT3
Honda Integra Type-R (DC5)
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4
…and the Bathurst circuit is epic, without any Aussie V8s to blast around the mountain it just won’t seem right. If the Honda Integra is a touring car faster than the Chevrolet Lacetti would anyone buy this to get the edge in the TSA Tournament?

If it is a touring car that’s faster than the lacetti or bmw then surely it would be wise to not allow it to run in TSA tournaments?
Either that or everyone buys it and runs it… I can’t see that working some how haha

The Integra is worth it for me alone! Can’t wait for a new touring car! Bathurst is epic too!

I didnt realize you got Bathurst. I will prob purchase the pack just for that track. I used to love that track on TOCA Race Driver.
I imagine the Integra would be comparable in speed to the Beemer or Chevvy otherwise there wouldnt be much point in having it in the same class.
