Namco Bandai will be rewarding early purchasers of Ridge Racer for PlayStation Vita with free DLC.

Early copies of Ridge Racer will contain a 'Ridge Racer Gold Pass' that grants players access to five extra cars, three race courses, two additional music tracks and an 'extended music mix'.

The DLC will be available for free with boxed and digital copies of Ridge Racer Vita up until March 31, after which you'll have to cough up €6.99 for it. Namco is planning to release more DLC in April through a Silver Pass.

Earlier this week Namco Bandai Europe detailed the 'Day One Edition' for Ridge Racer Unbounded. The special edition will be available at the standard retail price and feature a number of extra vehicles to tear around in.

    Not too bad I suppose. The game is only £15 on Zavvi.

    I'm getting Lumines, Uncharted and WipeOut. I'm getting my Vita free. =]

    Please, no one support this game! It needs to die due to ripping off tactics.

    I agree to a point.

    I personally don;t like the model Namco are adopting with Ridge Racer as at the end of the day once you bought all the DLC to make it the complete game it will end up costing more than what Unchrted will be.

    On the other hand it's £15 and now you get half a game now rather than a quarter it's not that bad :D

    Apparently the game is garbage according to PSM3, they gave it under 40, think it was 3.9 out of 10.
