New Test Drive cars ignite their engines on Marketplace

Hey, remember how I told you that there’d be two free Test Drive Unlimited cars available for download on the Marketplace soon? Remember how I told you I’d let you know when they were available for download? Well, Major Nelson himself says they’re on the Marketplace as we speak.

There’s a little bit more to this newly-titled Launch Pack than previously thought. You’ll still be getting two cars, the Audi RS4 quattro Saloon and the Nissan Skyline GTR R34, but you’ll have to do a bit more work to acquire the cars than just downloading the pack.

Major Nelson says:

You still need to ‘purchase’ these cars in the game…but after you download ‘em, head to the nearest Audi or Nissan dealer and check them out. The in-game sticker price on the Nissan is 50k and the Audi is 80k.

So it looks like you won’t be able to immediately enjoy this bit of downloadable content after downloading it. But hey, it’s free and it could be worse… it could be a consumable.

But this development does bring up an interesting question: should more free downloadable content packs require the gamer to do a little extra work (as long as the extra work is satisfying), or should these free packs be immediately available to quench a gamer’s sense of instant gratification?

Thanks, Chris, for originally letting us know about the DLC!

Anyone want to swap referral codes from TDU with me? We can get an additional two free cars.

I like the idea. Not sure people would pay for such a thing. Imagine forking out 200-400MSP and then never ever get to use them if they needed extra work to get them. I could be wrong.

Hooray I received my 25digit code for a Mclaren F1 Lm this morning, except I’ve downloaded it and don’t know where to find it. It said I can download the car in addition to the two other cars on the marketplace
