it is possible but, oh dear lord, let's hope not. this is status quo in the corporate world with a lot of software vendors. don't have a support contract? sorry, no updates for you.

All the more reason to hold onto Most Wanted and screw Carbon... But you know there will be crazy people that will buy into all this garbage.

Whatever comments people had about Carbon, I can see it was because of an apparently lousy demo. Having bought it for my 4 year old son and watching him play it, lots has improved in the game. I wouldn't say it's leaps and bounds ahead of Most Wanted, but I find it plays better, not laggy at all for me and even the online play is quite good. I'd say more they 'opened' up the game a little more for customizations, movies are way better and yes the graphics are a lot improved since Most Wanted if you actually open your eyes. Does it compare to a Xbox 360 racing game? Well it's close.

One thing I'll tell ya that I found made the game look good and not overdone was remove the way over done blur...I have everything else on max and blur off. Looks very good.
