Free is the best price possible. Kudos, EA.

Free? From EA?? The only possibility is that Shift is not selling as well as they thought it would. I wouldn't be surprised. It's STILL not the game I wanted. I'm holding out for Split/Second. That's the racing I want.

EA actually releases more free DLC than just about anyone. Some of it is small, but they release at least some free DLC for almost every game. I think in part it's because of their deal with Microsoft; they can put the stuff out for free in a quantity other publishers can't.

Burnout Paradise had quite a bit of free DLC.
