IMHO these are some of the best cases out there.

They are light, sturdy and easy to work with (all parts connected with thumb screws). When I took the thing out of the box I was able to life it with my baby finger. Whenever I upgrade my computer, the case is always what stays.

I can run Crysis on max quality graphics at 40+ constant frames. The most expensive part is the video card.

Sad to see that they wouldn’t even port this game to PC. Considering you limit yourself programming wise with consoles, I consider this as them dumbing down the game a bit and limiting content.

There still is a large PC Market.

I’m telling you, EA is out to eliminate the PC gaming market. They’ve cancelled Madden for the PC (no great loss as it was nothing more than shitty roster updates for the PS2 since 2004)…then they try this bullshit with SecuROM on Mass Effect and Spore. I think the only reasons they reneged on that was Penny Arcade pulling their Mass Effect advertising and they realized they could actually lose money on two sure things. I’ve built my own PC’s for almost 10 years now, I’ve never spent more than $1200 and I’m smart enough to reuse whatever I can. For $4000 chances are I could build some future PC from space, and it might even run Crysis…speaking of which, are they saying this game is somehow more taxing than Crysis?

If you buy a gaming pc from dell, you are automatically throwing at least $300 away on the dell name and a bull shit XPS case. I know someone who has one and it vibrates like crazy because of the crappy case design. Especially when you put in a cd or dvd rom. That even goes for Alienware. I know they are nice and all, but you can build an equvalent PC for half the cash. All your money goes to the bad ass case that alienware has so smartly patented. Building a PC is not hard. Just do a little frigin research people. It’s all about customization.

You could build a PC that would run this game on high settings for under $1000, easy. I understand their complaint that it limits sales potential because of older PC’s, especially considering the economy now and as its going. However, I really hate the price amount they state in press releases, it further increases the mentality that PC’s are this expensive (4000?!) and not worth buying, get a console. Put some effort into it, find someone to build one, even pre-built like Dell sell good gaming comps for just about $1200.

@Bounce

That’s not what they said.
“[If we made the game for high-end PCs], someone with a low-end PC would have a watered down experience, they would have to turn all the settings down and it wouldn’t be the same game. On the other hand if we made that game for as many people as possible then it’s not taking advantage of what those $4,000 systems can do.”

LOL, they also say that a $4000 pc can’t handle this game. They must have swapped out talented people with complete morons at their studio if they say such a thing. I laughed all night long, I can’t get any sleep because of it.
