Yeah.... but consolites forget the PC hardware prices go down rather quickly. Infact, in November with the release of the 9000 series, the 8800 GTS will cost around $150 and the GTX will cost$200.

Even if it dropps down to $50 your still gonna end up spending more than the cost of a 360 when you add in the other hardware such as a new proc, mobo, PSU, RAM etc.

Or you could just upgrade the graphics card on your existing PC. No need to build it from scratch.

If you buy it from Best Buy it would cost you $500. Some stores may sell it for less.

Seriously why would you do that. Bestbuy and Futureshop overcharge way too much when it comes to PC parts.

Not really, I knew it was great, played the Beta, and loved it, played the demo and loved it.

The PC has Mouse/Keyboard. For RTS that is a must. The 360 one will probably be good, but nothing like the PC one.

Whats so great about achievements.

Achievement make playing games fun and rewarding! It makes you do things in a game that you would normally not have done and rewards you for it, it ads alot to the replayability of a game for sure! Also constantly trying to have a greater gamerscore than your buddies is always fun.

But World in Conflict already has its own achievement system built in the game for completing certain objectives. So the 360's achievements dont matter much now do they.

Holy #### that's freakin' awesome.

I mean this game didn't come outta nowhere, by any means, but it was under the radar by many (for shame) that's for sure. Just like Skate.....two new AAA games that NOBODY was really talking about in here. That's just great news. Games like these will make this a great fall and great end to the year.

No, RTS are vastly better on a PC. With all the hotkeys and stuff it is much easier and efficient to make quick decisions and movements. The controller will probably be much slower in comparison.

But anyways, nice score i've always loved this game since beta.Also, the stat tracking they have in the game combined with medals and ranks > achievments. The people saying "best on 360" wouldn't know they haven't played the game.

Hermits don't hype games a lotand Lemmings don't care about RTS games really... Trust me, every hermit knew that WiC was AAA, but never really cared to talk about it. Anytime a hermit hypes a game, they get laughed at and consolites say that the game sucks. Oh well...

I personaly didn't say it was "so bad". But you cant deny that with a KB/M you can play an RTS much more effeciently w/ hot keys and stuff. Not to mention that WIC is shipping with an SDK and map editor, so we will have a huge variety in mods and maps.

Basically what i'm saying is PC is dominant for RTS games and 360 version is nowhere close to it.
