Need For Speed Shift

D

Delusional

Lurker
It was supposed to be released today. I've searched the marketplace and google and can't find it or any info saying anything but today being the release date.
 
It wasn't really announced for today, the original source was Engadget and they said it will launch around the Evo 4G Launch, not exactly on the same day, so expect it in the next week.
 
It's very frustrating! I kinda guessed it wouldnt be released on the 4th though because there's been nothing released on it.

I just wish one of these sites (phandroid,androidandme etc) would feckin contact them and ask them what the story is - a bit of proactive reporting rather than reactive!
 
It's a bit of a shambles, that's for sure.

I hope people don't just play the shit out of it for 24 hours then get a refund.
 
I just "purchased" it from the demo on my droid X but i have no idea how it is going to charge me since i put in no CC or billing info of any kind. Maybe on my verizon bill???

If you click yes you wanna purchase it twice it just says thank you for buying...

You mean you purchased from android market?
 
It won't let me purchase on Moto Droid, it keeps giving me a connection error.

Sucks, I really want to unlock the rest of the game!
 
EA released a demo version for the iPhone on the App Store yesterday (about a year after the full game came out), seems the Android version is not exactly their top priority at the moment :(
 
I remembering seeing a Google IO video stating that NFS Shift is exclusive to Verizon for the next 60-90 days. The only way to purchase it is through a link on the demo, but you have to be on Verizon's network for it to work.

I assume if you purchase through the demo it'll bill directly to your Verizon bill since only Verizon customers can purchase it at this time.

The rest of us will just have to wait until the exclusivity ends. :(

I got the demo work on my Vibrant and so far it's the best looking racing game on Android.
 
NFS Shift is now officially in the Market. $4.99 and worth every penny. Keep em coming EA!
 
Where? I saw it, bought it, now it's gone. Still on my phone, but it doesn't appear on my downloaded apps, isn't on the Games Just In that I can see and neither searching for 'need for speed shift' or 'nfs shift' gets any results. I thought I'd check EA's site to see if they'd suddenly decided to do a Gameloft but I can't see anything about it on there. I'm on a regular Desire running 2.2 and getting a few framerate glitches, but it's still very playable, one of the best tilt racers I've come across - I'll be very annoyed if they yanked it for some ridiculous reason.
 
It comes up for me, try searching EA Mobile. The Sims 3 was also released for $4.99. I can't wait for Madden! Hopefully they don't wait as long to release Madden as they did with these two titles. Quarter 1 of 2011 can mean either January 1 or March 31...Here's to wishing that it's the former.

They really need to fix their servers though, or whatever the problem is that is causing the games not to download. Both Fifa 10 and The Sims 3 have lower ratings than they should solely because people aren't able to download the game after they purchase it.
