Makes the choice pretty simple for them.

Personally, I like being able to type in my cheat codes on a real keyboard

But, for 600$, I can build a PC that is way ahead of any console. Sure, that is double the price of a 360 or PS3, but with the money you save on games on steam compared to console games, the comp pays for itself. I can't build my PC for that, but my PC is ridiculous, and future proofed for the next 5 years. Dual HD6990's, i7 960 extreme (OC'd to 4.2ghz), 16gb RAM, 180GB SSD, and 2 10krpm WD Raptor HDD's, all in a raid array. Plus i've got video recording hardware, bluray burner, and three screens. Razer Blackwidow ultimate, a 16 button mmo mouse, and a 5 button FPS mouse, both Razer's as well.

Plus lights. Lots of lights. Straight outta Fast and the furious.

Already planning the black friday shopping list for my next PC. FFXIV fucked up something in my current setup.. it overheats way too easy now when under any stress.

You are still playing that shitty ass game?

Why not format? There is no way a game can hurt your hardware. Even one as bad as XIV.

Go outside. And answer your phone.

Finally came in on Saturday. Finally got to play it for 15 minutes on Sunday. Feels like Halo so far.

The cut-scene rendering is out-fucking-standing (human faces, etc.). Can't tell yet if that translates to the gameplay, haven't run across any Marines or other humans yet.

Missing the music style from the older scores. The new stuff seems too laid back.
