Need for Speed: Shift demo available Thursday photo

Electronic Arts has announced that a demo for Need for Speed: Shift will be available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and PlayStation Network this Thursday, October 1. 
 
The demo will let you go all fast around two tracks -- the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamp and a race around the London River. Immediately available to race in will be four cars -- the BMW MS (E46); the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10; the 2006 Lotus Elise 111R; and the 2008 Nissan GT-R. Do well enough on the two available tracks and collect enough stars and you'll unlock a fifth car, the 2006 Pagani Zonda F.
 
Shift has been on shelves for awhile, and we hear pretty decent things about it. We didn't get a review copy from EA (and we cried), but those who did say it's not bad. Check out the demo and see for yourself.

Highly recommended! Fantastic game. Finally, a good NFS game again.
All the talk about bugs and glitches are nothing more than talk. ZERO issues so far.

I wish I could get ahold of @dinomas so that I can get the copy I won during the Twitter party! I'm really excited to play this game, seems like a good direction for the series. I'll be picking up the demo thursday for sure.

Yea, E46 is the name of the 3 series motor, so he must've meant M3.

Will the 360 version be able to connect to the PlayStation Network, though?

E46 is the Chassis Model.

I drive an E36 which is a 3 Series 1991 - 1999 (1996 316i).

E46 are 3 Series from 1998 - 2006
