man, i could use a pair of these.

How bout some love engadget?

Likely an average resolution (1680).

AA is a tricky subject, simply because the game doesn't use traditional AA. Edge AA, which is used on foliage, is enabled by default, but requires that normal AA be turned off. Given the amount of vegetation in the game, it's generally a good idea to leave the normal AA off.

get a 3850. they're practically the exact same price, with a negligible performance difference. Toss in the increase you'd get from this, you've got yourself a better deal with the AMD setup.

Actually, and 800 dollar computer can outpace any console of this generation. Lets also not forget that your $279 xbox can't play online (requires a hard drive, which you can't get for 279), then more expensive games, paid online, lack of custom content (user made mods, maps, skins), not to mention that I actually get a computer with my purchase. Can your 360 run MS word? Why no, it can't. To get that sort of functionality (not to mention that streaming capability you so seem to love), you need a separate computer anyway. Toss on about 600 for that, that gaming PC isn't looking so bad now, is it.

Yes, because we all know the government can only ever focus on one thing at a time. They are completely incapable of multitasking, and are really just one large collective conscience.

Engadget, you say that as though they should keep every feature they ever thought of. Come on, do you really expect them to never drop a feature? You think vista is bloated (based on your constant MS bashing which is also ridiculous), yet you bash MS for taking things out of their next system?

I believe you have my stapler...

Wait, you all bitch and moan about how vista was nothing more than a visual update with nothing new behind the scenes, then you write off 7 because it doesn't have a new pretty interface without even knowing what else the OS does? And people question whether or not you're biased...
Granted, it's likely a fake anyway, but still.

It's because AT&T won't let them. They're so adamant about it, they're going through an anti-monopoly lawsuit in France that may end up forcing them to there, but they're not giving up without a fight, and they'd be doing that at the command of the French government. Do you really think they are just going to turn around and unlock it?

Yeah, that was exactly the reason...
