Some new content for lazy racers

To tell you the truth, I'm beginning to hate NFS Carbon, or at least, I'm beginning to despise EA for releasing more and more Carbon content. I mean, why don't they let us gamers work to unlock cars, spoilers and other tunning equipment?

But I have to inform you of what is available for download, Need For Speed Carbon-wise (you will resort to these downloads only if you are lazy or unable to master an easy arcade-racing game like Carbon). Major Nelson has the word that you will be able to get your new Carbon content via the Xbox Live Marketplace.

For 300 Microsoft points you will get the Autosculpt Roof, Spoiler and Exhaust Kit, which will unlock all kits available to do some serious bodywork on your car. Of course you can unlock these kits by progressing in Career Mode, but you're too lazy, aren't you?

If you want to pimp-out your wheels, you can do so for another 300 Microsoft points after you get the Autosculpt Wheels Kit. These two kits presented are only available in Japan. Be aware not to create a dummy Xbox Live account for Japan, if you don't want to get banned.

Let's get on with the rest of the lazy mans' content. EA has also made available the Paints Style Bundle for 100 Microsoft points. This bundle unlocks the six different paint styles: Metallic, Matte, Pearl, Chrome, Candy and Iridescent which can also be unlocked by progressing in Career Mode.

There are 3 more downloads available, namely Tribal Vinyls, Flags and 2-Tone Vinyls and Stripe Vynils. The first one costs 100 Microsoft points while the final two "retail" for 200 points. What these kits will unlock is self explanatory, but once more, I must advise you to unlock them in Career Mode. It is much more fun!
