Remember yesterday when Nex told us about EA's use of bare breasts to promote Need for Speed: ProStreet? Who could forget, right? Well, now it sounds like EA would like you to forget it all.
According to GamesIndustry.biz, EA says that they regret the use of topless ladies in this promotion.
"We regret that these images slipped through the proper EA approval process," said a spokesperson for the publisher, speaking to GamesIndustry.biz. "They were not appropriate for our brand. The original site has been taken down this morning."
The site still features a photo shoot video, but images and mentions of the game have been removed.
