NFS World Starter Pack is back

The [i]Need For Speed World Starter Pack[/i], which was available from early July 2010 (when the game was launched) to 8 September 2010, seems to have returned. If you don't remember what is the Starter Pack, here's a description taken from NFS Unlimited's Wiki:

[quote]Before 8 September 2010, after reaching level 10 and having access to only Tier 1 and certain Tier 2 cars, the player would not be able to progress further in the game, and would cease to earn any more experience points or cash (but the player would still be able to play for an unlimited time). To continue levelling up and unlocking new cars and parts, the player had to purchase the Need For Speed World Starter Pack.The Starter Pack had a price tag of 19.99€ / $19.99 USD / 14.99 GBP, and it contained:

- 8000 Speedboost
- 1-week head-start and increased XP rewards during that first week
- An exclusive Mazda Mazdaspeed 3
- Bundle of power-ups[/quote]

After 8 September 2010 World was made "free-to-play", which means that any player ran reach Level 50 without having to pay a dime. But now, EA has teamed up with Amazon.com and they are selling three types of Starter Packs: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each one comes with different goodies and a different price tag. Even though the Starter Pack is not mandatory anymore, as the game is now free-to-play, players from [b]North America only[/b] who are new to the game might find these packs interesting. Here is a list of each one.
