NYC Need for Speed Shift event (And You're Invited!)

Sunday, August 23, 2009

Electronic Arts is hosting an event for their upcoming racer, Need for Speed Shift, later this week in New York City. Since most of the Bitmob crew is stuck in San Francisco, we won't be able to attend this invitation-only, hands-on event. That's where you come in.

If you're in the NYC area this Thursday evening (August 27), are over the age of 18, and want to get a chance to play this game, send an e-mail to letters@bitmob.com with "Need for Speed" in the subject line and why you want to go in the body. We'll choose two winners to be added to the guest list.

The best part (besides bragging rights among your friends that you got to play this game before anyone else)? If you think of a clever angle to write up what happened at the event and your experience there, there's a good chance we'll make it a featured story on Bitmob.

Again, we have two passes to give away, so get your entry in now! More event details after the jump.

If I cared about racing games, I would give it a try outta Philly. Just take a bus.

If I like Need for speed, and was 4 years older, I'd totally blow the 60$ on a bus from DC to see this and chill with My buddies up in NYC.

Too bad I'm nowhere near New York and I'm not old enough. :(

@Lance: Brett is the only former New Yorker/current San Franciscan. You and Toby were both right! =)

@Brett - If we are going to start posting comments in third person, I am so on that!

If this was on the weekend, I might be game. Thursday night is just not good for me at all. Oh well.

Hopefully they have an opportunity like this for an Austin event in the future.

I am really surprised that there aren't many more NY Bitmobbers. Well good luck to all.

When you've got tickets to an exclusive preview happening somewhere in Michigan I'll be all over that.
