The Need for Speed team just revealed the first ProStreet Community Race Day will be going down on December 19th where you can play with the developers, win prizes and be all blissful n' such. Not a huge deal though, right? It's just one of those corporate sponsored (Castrol Syntec) online "events" that is aimed at getting you to play their game ... right? WRONG!If you are a fan of achievements and already own Need for Speed: ProStreet then you need to be online December 19th, because this event is actually an achievement. Yup, the developers thought creating a 15 Gamerscore achievement called "Community Race Day 1" for participating in this once in a lifetime event was a dandy idea. So, if you miss playing, we guess you'll never get the achievement. We aren't sure how to enter into the community fun or how to unlock the achievement, but we do know you'll have to play ProStreet December 19th to have any chance at it. Get prepared achievement whores of the world and complete the task set forth ... you have another one coming when "Community Race Day 2" begins. Mwahahaha!

Sorry if we come across a little bothered in this post, but the fact of the matter is that we are very bothered. The source of our bothered nature is this week's latest Marketplace DLC offerings. And no, it's not the new 300 Microsoft point Virtua Fighter 5 Item Pack 1 which allows for more character customization. The price is a bit steep and evil in its own right, but we have bigger fish to fry.
Today, EA announced that the latest in the Need for Speed franchise, Need for Speed: ProStreet, will be headed to retail shelves on October 31st in the US and November 1st in Europe. And if our memory serves us, ProStreet was initially slated for release sometime in November, so an October (albeit very, very late October) release is welcome enough. And if you want your house to be the "it" trick-or-treat destination this Halloween, we advise purchasing hundreds of copies of NFS: ProStreet to give out instead of the typical candy sweets. Wait a second, give out copies of ProStreet AND candy sweets! You'll be known as the coolest trick-or-treat house in the city in no time!
