Definitely NOT free, ie, if you don't have SimCity.
Add about $80 to the cost… just to see Nissan Leaf show/run game!
It's just free advertising for Nissan. I mean look at the thing. Massive Nissan sign on it, massive billboard advertising the leaf. Not to mention it does nothing for your city except take up valuable space.
im guessing it also consumes electricity to charge which could be put to better use
No it takes no electricity or workers from your city. Just adds Happiness… and traffic
my citizens would be happier if they got a GTR instead
Hey, electricity is just Electrons… easy to "transport"
If you HAVE a wind &/or solar power energy system:
- charge your Leaf from its 240 V AC power point
Drive off, REALLY HAPPY that you have helped save Earth
If you DON'T have wind &/or solar power energy system:
- Find "new" coal
- mine coal
- load onto coal cars in a huge train of them
- unload coal near dirty-coal power generator near you
- maybe make coal dust, etc. from coal
- load coal into power plant's steam heater fire-box
- coal burns => lotsa "new" CO2 + some smoke emitted
- global warming draws a bit closer
- electricity (as electrons) flow to your Leaf charger
Drive Off… HAPPY that you helped save the planet
And… it's heaps CHEAPER to send Electrons (as Leaf fuel).
Compare to petrol:
- Find the "new" oil (soon: in "tar sands")
- collect the raw oil
- shlepp it to refinery (in multiple trips)
- refine raw oil into petrol, etc.
- load & shlepp petrol to big boat/ship
- bring it - across Ocean - to AU
- unload from boat/ship into huge tank at distro facility
- fill a fuel-tanker with some of the petrol
- shlepp it to your servo
- unload it into servo's underground tank (any leaks?)
- global warming draws a -LOT- closer
- you pump some via servo's bowser into your fuel tank
Drive off, after WASTING much energy "behind-the-scenes"
…then, you burn the petrol in your car's LESS EFFICIENT engine,
raising the temperature & adding MORE CO2 to air near you.On -some- level, it's GOT to FEEL WORSE to be such an energy schmuck, driving a petrol car (when there's such a BETTER WAY to move yourself about), so you have a drink to try to forget…?
pollution relating to production of electricity is not much different to carbon footprint of cars
only solar cars are truly green, even then the production of the car itself still has a carbon footprint
Right, but I think it's good that an EV gets some "air-time" among the range of other products to be advertised/promoted on OzB.
I prefer Shai Agassi's battery-swap-ready EV's fr BetterPlace.com
Short talk on TED.com: (search for Agassi)
Longer " in Melbourne: (search YouTube.com for Shai's hour+ long talk -or- find it on FORA.tv [behind a PayWall])
EV's are coming… fast, quiet, green, cheap (mostly) to drive
but its not a real free electric vehicle… its an item that gives you a picture of an electric vehicle in your virtual city. Its nothing tangible. In my opinion, its worthless.
That's disappointing… no demo / show, no game, just a foto!
Their ad agency must have been closed when they dreamed up this promo… ;-)
I can't see this as a deal.
Its like saying you get a free bread bag every time you buy a loaf of bread…
Or you get free apple seeds in every apple you buy.
Hey, some people save $$'s on sink top garbage bags, ie, by using such "free" bags… ;-)
not a deal, they wouldn't dare to charge anything anyway
So, do we need -more- than the Leaf download
to see the show or run a game…?There's no show, this is an addon for SimCity, which you do need to pay for.
Thanks… I see the Leaf "game" (module?) but the web site just said "Restart the Game" [to see the new bit].
So, not only is this Not a deal (not free, all of a sudden), it's a win-win for Nissan & EA… :-/
What?!? The needed game costs …almost $80…?!?
Whatever happened to free (game platform) "run-times"…?
No deal. In game ads. No thanks.
(Plus EA haven't fixed any of the real issues.)Can't see anyone paying for dlc that just inserts an ad into the game…And so can't see this ever being priced at anything over $0.00.
This being the case, I really don't see it as being a deal.
Downloading DLC that gives you the dubious privilege of experiencing in-game product placement is not a bargain, free or not.
I don't see you downvoing all those Borderlands2 keys "bargain".
Are Borderlands2 keys in-game advertising? No. You clearly don't or cant understand my point.
So, is Origin the energy co…? Why would they get into this sucky offer?
I'd say they lose by associating their co. with such a low-value offer.
Origin is EA's (Electronic Arts) digital distribution platform. Think Steam for Valve. They have released a few games Origin exclusive as of late and it's (IMO) a really pathetic platform.
God I hate DLC in general. A DLC for product placement is just taking it too far.
Always free. No deal.
