With paid DLC the developers have the opportunity to add up to 250 gamerpoints worth of achievements and upto 99 different new achievements, at least Orange Box added 99 so presumably anybody else can add that many.

CG added 4 new trophies with the Legendary car pack for PS3, here is a list of the trophies:

Win a Stunt Run in the Jansen 88 Special.
Light up the Manhattan Spirit when online in a Freeburn Challenge.
Sound the Cavalry Bootlegger's horn whilst jumping and then successfully land any Silver Lake Super Jump.
Score a 3x Boost Chain in the GT Nighthawk.

They also added 8 trophies for the Party Pack and there will be 2 more with the Boost specials and 3 more with the Toy cars... making a total of 17 new Trophies so far, where the Xbox has only had 2 new Party Pack achievements.

I really don't understand why CG didn't put in the same achievements for Xbox 360 as the trophies added for PS3, surely they aren't planning on putting 95+ achievements in the Island and Cops and Robbers packs??

Do you agree with me that CG should have added achievements with the DLC cars? Or do you think Gamerscore really doesn't matter?

I would much rather see lots of 5g achievements then just a couple at 25/50/100g.

They should have added more. It is also worth mentioning that they can also add 0 point achievements. So when they have used all the points they can still keep adding more 0 point ones.

I don't know why they wouldn't add more achievements.  It seems like they would motivate people to buy more of the DLC packs, and it would give us something to do between packs.  Personally, I would like it if they made the achievements really hard, so it would take more skill than just buying the car to get them.

 i agree yes they could and should still add achievements to the dlc packs in fact they did with the party pack it has two for 50 points i think a few people dont know that yet...........but as far adding 1 per car as is on the ps3 is kinda pointless its better to put those trophies or achievements into the packs instead of the cars that we buy

Even if 99 is the total number of Achievements allowed (which I am now lead to believe is the case, check out my gamerscore and you will see that I clearly don't play for achievements!)

Paradise still has 47 achievements that it can use. I really don't see that they will add that many to the Island and cops and robbers packs... but I could be wrong.

I personally would have had more incentive to buy the car packs if they included interesting achievements to play for, I'm not saying the PS3 Trophies with the car packs were particularly interesting, but at least it gave some sense of purpose to buy the car packs.

I still haven't bought any of them yet, and doubt I will, although trying out the Boost Specials in a couple of weeks may make me change my mind!
