Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit | Championships Competition

Think you know what fast is? Well, now's your chance to prove it as we've teamed up with EA and Criterion to adorn the ultimate Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit racing champion with a 46-inch 3DTV and a pair of 3D specs.
Step 1 - Enter the competition using the form on the next page.
Step 2 - Head over to East Gorge Canyon in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and complete the race Vanishing Point using the vehicle of your choice.
Step 3 - Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit's Autolog will keep track of your best race times – make sure your in-game account settings have data sharing enabled. You'll need to make sure it's a personal best that you lay down in the challenge for the time to register.
Only the fastest 50% times of all registered entrants on Xbox 360, plus the fastest 50% on PlayStation 3 will qualify for Phase II. There's one 46-inch 3DTV for the fastest contender on Xbox 360 and one for the speediest demon on PlayStation 3!

Gran Turismo 5 moves 560,500 units in December, 1.14 million sold between Nov. and Dec.

Despite not making December's NPD top 10 list, Gran Turismo 5 sold 560,500 units last month in the US and Canada. IndustryGamers got the number straight from the NPD Group -- a number which looks like an apparent dropoff from Sony's late November launch numbers, which heralded 5.5 million units shipped worldwide, 1.25 million of which were in North America alone.

And hey, let's not kid ourselves: a good amount of December's "sales" figures are also accounted for in November's "shipped" figures. All of them, in fact -- 1.14 million copies of Gran Turismo 5 have been sold in the US and Canada thus far, a representative from NPD told us this afternoon, leaving approximately 110K copies from the initial shipment still on store shelves.

That said, plans for periodic support in GT5 were highlighted by developer Polyphony Digital as recently as last month. Add that to the fact that the 2011 Formula One season is just around the corner, and we'd say it's likely that racing fans will continue to pick up the game as early 2011 progresses.
