Wait, is this a remake of the older NFS: Most Wanted? I still play that to this day, music, gameplay cars and visuals are still damn awesome.

It cost me $50.

Keep in mind that while their site says each DLC will be $15 - I think on the Australia Origin store they'll be closer to $20-25. Hell, B2K is still $20, so I'd assume fresh DLCs will cost around $25 each.

$49.99 AUS, you can buy it from battlelog site http://battlelog.battlefield.com

Also Origin has just been updated with premium if you restart Origin.

yeah each DLC on release date will cost $25 AUS. so $50 for premium is a good price.

Given EA's constant affinity with price jacking on Origin, how much does this cost in the US Origin store?

its the same price at the moment US Origin store $49.99 & AUS Origin store $49.99.

EA not price jacking Aussies? Is this opposite day or something?

Not complaining, just surprised.
