Did you read Lyte's review at GAF? Skip it. 

Weren't you going to get a 360 eventualy?  Just wait.

Post by: Mr. Gundam on February 27, 2008, 02:56:18 PM
Yeah, I am planning on getting a 360 at some point. Maybe I can talk myself out of it before the end of the work day. I was able to talk myself out of getting Dynasty Warriors 6...

From what I've seen of the screenshots, it already looks like a lousy port.  Compound that with major framerate problems, it just seems like a total waste of money.  You should probably just go with DW6.

That's the thing, though. I really don't want DW6, it was just an impulse thing. However, I REALLY WANT Lost Planet.

Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB DDR2 RAM
120GB Free Fall Sensor 7200RPM HD
DVD/RW
256MB GeForce 8600GT
Bluetooth/Wi-Fi enabled
Windows Vista Home Premium

I found it refurbished on Dell Outlet for $539, but my DM called me with some kind of EPP coupon that knocked it down to under $399.

Yeah, I had to nab it.  I've been looking for a notebook for ages, but wanted something with more horsepower than my current PC (Celeron D, 1GB DDR333 RAM, GeForce 6800 GTS).  I think I might take the DIMMs and put them to other uses, because I can upgrade the laptop to 4GB RAM pretty cheaply.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on February 27, 2008, 03:40:35 PM
I'm not running anything that would require me to downgrade.  I look forward to being able to play such GPU intensive games as World of WarCraft and Civilization 4 and StarCraft 2 and Titan Quest and Spore.  Now that it looks like I'll have a machine that'll play TF2 with a bit more stability, I might get back into that.  And Battlefield Heroes is a must download, but that's free.  I'm not that crazy of a PC gamer (I've got a PS3 and X360), I'm more of a multimedia guy and this will be more than enough for the immediate future.  And since it's not that big of investment, I won't worry if it's underpowered in three years.
