If you're the kind of person who would do anything to win a racing game, Activision and select retailers have some deals for you. Keeping with the recent tradition of offering people who pre-order games an advantage in multiplayer matchups,
Blur players will have a choice of perks come November if they plunk down their $5 between now and then:
- Best Buy: 600-hp Dodge Hennessey Viper unlock
- GameCrazy: Earn twice the cash for your first three single-player races
- GameStop: Multiplayer Advantage Booster Kit which includes an exclusive Last Man Standing multiplayer mode, Ford Bronco unlock and twice the fans for your first 10 multiplayer races (which means more cash, upgrades, power-up slots and cars)
The game, for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, is from the makers of
Project Gotham Racing (and, before that,
Metropolis Street Racer for the Dreamcast) so it may well be worth picking up. And if you do, sigh, you'll probably want one of these offers so you don't get schooled online...
