I agree, but many people don't have a 360, so it's news worthy in my opinion.

Thnk's for the link.

Mine above query post and ur link post came at the same time , sorry abt it.

id rather have mass effect, but microsoft doesnt care about pc gamers. Anything to force us to buy their crappy new vista, plus gamers need the ULTIMATE version, which is set a steep price. I really don't like microsoft, the onlyreason they will bring anyting now to pc is to sell vista to us, but im not paying for it thats for sure.alxy_07

I would rather dragon age which is PC only, and Mass effect will be on PC just like every other Bioware titles. IMO, Bioware has gone down hill with their linear, force you to play one character titles. They make games for the masses that are dumbed down now, sad.

gamers need ulitmate? Are you crazy? That is total BS. There is no reason gamers need ultimate, stop spreading mis-information.

I thought I would really like that game, but in the end it was waaaay too heavily influenced by japanese anime.  The cut scenes are possibly the worst I have ever seen.  Absolutely garbage dialog, and completely predictable and generic characters.

The actual game itself is pretty fun, but it all comes off sorta gimmicky in my eyes.

i meant that microsoft has promoted ultimate as the gamers choice, with extra features that the other versions don't have, regardless vista is overpriced.alxy_07

They have not marketed it for gamers. Home premium is great, has media centre, everything a gamer needs and the OEM version is only $120.

Home premium has tonnes of features. Ultimate is more for business users.

With the OEM version, are you still able to reinstall the game without purchasing a new license? I pretty sure you don't, but I'm just wondering, as OEM is always the way I've gone in the past.

Given that this is the PC forum, most of us do.

i believe you can reinstall OEM versions as many times as you please, as long as it is on the same computer.  The regular version, you can transfer from one machine to another, as long as you unistall it from the previous machine.

is this real? that link doesnt look very official, and the box art picture makes me doubt the news is authentic.DDX2

It's directly from Joystiq.com, they usually put goofy pics up for their news stories that mostly come from bloggers, but they usually fact check pretty well before something pops up on Joystiq. 

 1up article confirming as well. Apparently, it won't require Vista, as it will also handle DX9. They have made an agreement with Nvidia.

And if it's not on the same PC, can you install on multiple machines while not having the other uninstalled, it's either it doesn't let you, or legal issues?

Well...sort of...

I have an OEM version of XP.  Technically I am not supposed to be able to install it on other machines.  When I did a massive upgrade (mobo, proc, ram) and tried to re-activate my copy, the automatic process failed.  I had to call Microsoft and eventually they allowed it.

I think when you first activate your copy, it sends a GUID of your unique computer hardware profile.  Any time you re-activate it (after a reinstall or format), it checks the GUID.  If the hardware is not the same (I think mobo is main factor) then it fails.  But again, you can just call Microsoft and get it resolved anyways.

o, ok, sry im just not familiar with the site. Anyway i see the news on GS now so its looking good. Lost Planet was a fun 360 game, never bought it though. but this DX10 update will make LP's already amazing graphics even better.

Does this happen only with the OEM or the regular copies can be installed on multiple machines, or it's both? I was able to put XP on another comp while having it also installed on mine, activated and all. Just wondering if it's different for Vista.
