PC gaming is more than alive.

Today is a big day for PC gamers with the release of the 8800 gt. I've been building PCs for awhile now, but ive never seen anything like this before.

In about 18 hours time I saw 5 different versions of the 8800 gt sell completely out on newegg. Yet PC gaming is dieing? I doubt that.

I feel so alive, for the very first time!!! :o

sorry

PC gaming was never dead or dying.

the 8800GT is an incrediblly good card for the money.....

add that to the fact that the crysis demo was well liked, and the release of Crysis, UT3, COD4...all big PC games, in litteraly a span of a week...and its not hard to see why they sold out so fast.

i saw some ones sig that said pc gaming happily dieing since 1984.

alot has been said but none of it has been true!

8800GT costs £130 and can run Crysis on near maxed settings...a C2D CPU costs £80...so one can build a £350 and get mindblowing graphics...the expensive PC myth is dead for sure...
