Fast cars. Expensive gas. Gaudy spinners. Fuzzy dice. A lead foot. Radar detectors. EA is set to provide all of these and more when <a href="http://world.needforspeed.com/"><em>Need for Speed World</em></a> launches next week. A release date of July 27 has been announced, and will be available via digital download for all hot rod enthusiasts. <br />
<br />
Of course, if you can't wait to settle into the driver's seat, you can get into the game today by pre-ordering the <a href="http://world.needforspeed.com/store/checkoutstarterpack?productId=OFB-NWNA:22905"><em>Need for Speed World</em> Starter Pack</a>. Apart from the benefit of early access, pre-orders will get their hands on exclusive cars, be fueled with double XP, and have the ever-so-elite "VIP" tag added to their driver profile from now on. The Starter Pack also includes an allowance of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/need-for-speed-world/"><em>NFSW's</em></a> in-game currency for a shopping trip if one so desires.<br />
<br />
A trial of the game will become available next week as well, offering a free sample of <em>NFSW </em>up through level 10 to any and all who mosey by. EA is obviously crossing its fingers that <em>NFSW </em>will go the distance and not break down on the side of the road like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_City_Online"><em>Motor City Online</em></a>, but so far, things are looking up for this title.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/07/20/need-for-speed-world-takes-off-july-27th/">Need For Speed World takes off July 27th</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:30:00 EST.
