I'll get a VITA when the price drops to around $130. It might be awhile. I hope it lasts that long. If it doesn't, then I'll buy a used one for cheap when current owners start dumping them.

It'd be nice if we would finally get a game that pushes hardware more than Crysis does..... Then all those $400 cards might be worth looking at. Until then, save your money and go with a mid-range.

@majestix1988 Can you run that through babblefish so we can understand it?

It's always fun to come into the PC articles comments sections and watch all the PC users try to rip on each other. It seems to me, as evidenced by all the bickering, that you have all forgotten what is so appealing about the PC.... CHOICE. Everyone gets to pick and choose which programs they like. Yet still, you all try to crucify each other for preferring something else. Or you try and give me people crap for still using a web browser that they are familiar with only because you think it's slower by 5% or something. Get over yourselves already. Why the hell do you care that some people still use IE? Maybe they just like it?

Two things that have made me actually consider getting the 3000: 1) Interlaced gaming through Composite Cables. It seemed stupid that the 2000 missed this. 2) The massively upgraded LCD screen. Good lord that looks good! I'm glad I hadn't upgrade from my current Fat (1001?) to the 2000 yet. Now I can feel quite a bit more justified in spending the money on a new one.

$549... hopefully this will spark some more price drops.

Hrm. I'm currently running two 9800GTX cards in SLI. I wonder if bumping them up to the GTX 260 cards would be a huge boost. It's a bit too much to plunk down $650 for 2 of the 280's, even if they perform like beasts.

Interesting article.

They are all virtually identical. Anyone sitting around a nitpicking over a jaggy here or a little blurry there is just being a pest.

Interesting that Crysis basically gets zero improvement from a second CPU. Perfect proof of a GPU bottleneck on that one. Dur? $2500 for the mobo and 2 CPU's is a bit hard to swallow for what looks to be a pretty minor performance upgrade. I'd rather just wait around for an Octa-Core CPU to come out that I can shove into a much cheaper mobo. I am somewhat surprised that duel-CPU mobo's are even considered for manufacturing these days.
