@devastion913 Maybe you can get a xbox or ps3 for less than 200$ in your country (US i guess :-) ) but where i live, and at the time when i upgraded a ps3 was listed at roughly 350$,, that point aside, I never stated it was cheap, just that it isnt as expensive as most people think, but yes it does take some knowledge, dedication and patience to build a great gaming pc at a fairly acceptable price, and when you have the machine relatively small upgrades keep your system in the high end for years and years and years, thats the one thing about consoles i dislike the most,, you cant do that, when you buy a console you are forced to settle with that hardware until a new console is released.
Also, if you play games on consoles you are more or less still forced to have some sort of PC or laptop to be able to send in your tax papers, do your banking maybe write letters and all those other functions that a PC is so handy for, if you play on a high end PC its 2 birds with one stone.
I doesnt really cost that much too maintain a fair gaming rig, my machine is running on its 6th year by now, with only a small 200$ gfx update last year, I have no problems running diablo or any other new game for that sake, if you buy smart a PC can live a long time, i think il have this rig running a year or two more, thats not so bad i think :D
I'm really looking forward to this one, as a die hard fan of the first two games I have every reason to be afraid.. but I'm not. I believe that the change of location is the best thing that could happen, as this is the third a game. A third game in the same envoiroment i think could have been a recipe for disaster, progression is good. And as SerOlmy pointed out "Man on Fire" is an excellent example that a sunny place can be truly dark.
"install limits", that kind of protection ought to be against the law. When i buy a game, i pay to have the right to play that game. Not only to play it on one or two different machines. Pc enthusiasts Reinstall their complete system frequently, upgrade their machines as often as possible. My system change 3 - 5 times a year. When i buy a game, i buy it Forever and for all my systems.
It seems alot of people is surprised by this, did you realy think Nvidia would wait with a new line, when ATI is just about to release the 4000 series, and Nvidia just bought Ageia PhysX, I saw this comming 3 months ago. And alot of people i know is gonna hear " I told you so !"
I would have liked to see some test on games that uses PhysX ex. Frontlines. The gtx200 series is the first card that supports physx, and would have liked to see the difference
