My question still is: buy or not?

PS is still beta, give it a couple months to see if it works out or not... but if you want to try it now pay up.

and on another note I have to say it's a crappy time for PC gaming and upgrading just because so many games are being put out that are full of system funking and resource bogging code that people's answer is... well just up your system specs to ten times what makes sense. the only problem is your face will be red when the games still hang up and are full of bugs even though you plunked down another $1000. I'm surprised at how many stupid people there are who even do that and still think the problem is on their end... and are asking if their 3ghz 256mb graphics card, and gig of ram is fast enough for game such and such. Get a clue folks, it's just a shitty season for well coded games. think about it, how many people can you name in the industry who talk passionately about optimizing code and using technology right... I can't even think of a handful.

I hate to say it but despite PC games still being fun... PC gaming is at it's most inflated and least value per dollar state it's probably ever been in. you'd honestly get much better value with a console. but like I said PC games are still fun. you just have to decide at what point it's reasonable to pay for something, versus being some sort of nut who's paying extravagantly for a fix.

Thank you for helping me. I'll wait and bug my parents for a new PC or for upgrades.

Anyway, I found some awesome site about PCs (I mean, a PC store on the web) Really cheap PCs- awesome performance.

I don't think "it's just a shitty season". This keeps going for 30 years, when first PCs came out. Now, almost every month new graphics cards come to this buisness. This was a lot slower couple years ago.

Well, my system specs are:

1000mhz(actually runs slightly slower)
60G hard drive
32mb Nividia
256mb RAM
Sound Blaster Live
Windows ME
DSL connection

It's a two and half year old computer that has performed really well for me. I can play very well with graphic settings on low with about 50% max viewing range. I do get some small lag in really huge battles but it is never unplayable.

Damn, I'm getting this game tommorow! If that's true what you are saying, gonnagetyou, this is a pretty well set up game.

Is this game avaible at Best Buy?

if what he says is true i'm going to pick it up as soon as my laptop arrives
