If you’re looking for a new rubber burning racing game to play on your Android device and have yet to experience EA’s Real Racing 2, you might want to consider picking it up now, while it’s only $0.99.

Both Amazon Wireless and Costco are now offering the HTC One X for an incredible $79.99 to both new customers and current customers with an upgrade.
