Looks like a hoax to me - those covers are very bland and simple; could easily have been put together from graphics already on the web.

Look at the case... they don't use those for the Playstation 2 games anymore, not since a long time.. in fact i don't think none of the platforms do. Although having said that I think some free demos that you get with magazines use those cases still, but I ain't too sure about that.

Is there any information about a demo, on EAs site? It could even be just a collection of NFSC movies, in other words a demo showreel, rather then an actual playable demo.

It may be a hoax...but that screenshot of the Gallardo is new...I've never seen it before...

You do know that your play money isn't real money right?

Yeh maybe I was too hasty - that box art does show up on the official eaplay.com site.. http://www.eaplay.com/australia/games/xbox/nfs/carbon/

It's fine to be 13, it's not in the rules that you can't join if you are under 13. If you are 12 or younger you must have your parents or guardians fill out a form and send it to the admins. So if that was a sarcastic joke, it didn't work.

But anyway, the box art looks real but as stated Playstation doesn't use those cases and I thought that magazines use those thin cases made of paper.

Anyone else notice that the "manual" looks like one piece of paper?

That's fake. A logo isn't grey this time, it's red.

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 20 Aug 2006, 00:21

who cares, ill place a bid, $2 isnt that much, you just downrate the seller if it is fake, and if even possible gtet the money back. if it is real ill laugh at you and then post some screens.

I agree with u m8, but we need to check if that is legal and if u can get back your money in case is a FAKE, also u can demand the guy for making illegal stuff without authorization of EA.

BTW fishwhiz, i like a lot your avatar, its so famous: O RLY?, that owl is my idol....

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 20 Aug 2006, 01:12

thanx. and yes it is illegal to rip people off like that with illegal software, according to my dad.

It's false advertising, which I know for sure is illegal in the United States and Canada. I think eBay has a ban on it as well, and there is quite possibly an international code of law that deems false advertising and monetary gain as illegal.
