Ref the original title, have they confirmed or denied splitscreen yet? I cant justify owning 2 consoles. The technology is there, just look at Blur or Split/Second (which still look and run brilliantly in splitscreen)
Its all about embarrassing the mrs right in front of your mates
The original NFS's had splitscreen
Oh and get rid of the free-roam crap, the Burnout series died with Takedown; Paradise City is sh!t.
