I bought NFS: MW Black Edition with early Christmas cash. Kudos for the extra content DVD, boooourns for the 4-CD install. What, no more DVDs were available to press the install to?
It's AWESOME. I'm tempted to scab a projector for the holidays and drag the comp up to the surround sound and use the S/PDIF-out on my soundcard.
Graphics are drool-inducing. Unlike the last two (Underground / Underground 2), understeer in a big way / oversteer in a big way is available right off the hop. Also, the Cobalt SS sucks horribly for handling. With big 18s, I expected better.
SUPER GEEK MODE: 1280x1024, full AA and AF via in-game options... I didn't want to stop playing last night.
If anyone else plays, we can have a NFS:MW meet-up somenight on EA Online.
The Source (ex Radio Shack) has USB Christmas Trees... LEDs fire through fiber optic strands, pretty cool. Very campy, but also very geek-friendly.
They're also on sale for like 7 bucks... bought two last night for our computers here at work (one for me, one for Sara).
