News > Pimp My Ride ships Pimp My Ride has shipped to retail on the Xbox 360 platform and is now available in stores for the PlayStation 2, according to a press release issued just minutes ago by Activision, the game's publisher. Finally, you can get your pimp on.

"Pimp My Ride allows gamers to experience all the fun of MTV's popular television program with a heart-pounding racing element," said David Oxford, Activision Publishing, Inc. "Players can roll with Xzibit as they test both their customization and driving skills by creating and racing the coolest rides in authentic neighborhoods and dynamic environments with tons of suppliers and hundreds of parts."

In Pimp City, where Pimp My Ride takes place, bling is king, and speed is everything. With Xzibit lending some tracks from his recently released CD, the game has a true MTV generation backdrop of urban music, art and sound where players step into the role of modification master to customize cars into the most banging whips while redlining them through the streets.

"We are thrilled to bring the signature style from our hit show, Pimp My Ride, to the world of video games," said Tony Calandra, Senior Director, MTV Games. "It is great for us to see the evolution of the franchise that helped to put car customization and culture on the map and now, fans of Pimp My Ride will be able to experience and enjoy it from their own homes in an exciting and fun, new way."

Players pick the mods, hooking up everything from tires and rims to bumpin' subwoofers and flat panel TVs to transform the worst broken down beaters into pimped out masterpieces.

Style skills are put to the ultimate test and completed cars are then raced in the streets to gain priceless bragging rights and credibility in their neighborhoods. Players can navigate free-roam environments, earning respect with flossed out rides in 5 unique boroughs such as New Wave Beach, Hip-Hop Heights and Downtown Metro.

If you want to make Pimp My Ride yours, it'll set you back $39.99 on the PlayStation 2, or $49.99 on the Xbox 360. Think of it as an investment in your future.
