I think both Gamestop and Joystiq missed the most the obvious point here: does anybody else think people that live close to the border in Mexico are crossing the border to buy American games which probably don't get licensed for sale in Mexico for weeks or months.

A Gamestop in Mexico won't be able to sell these American games until the Mexican distributors have licensed the games and/or received their stock therefore they are totally missing the point.

PS: I use to live 2hrs from the Canadian border and if I had to cross it to get my favorite game sequel a few months early, it would have been worth the drive, so don't underestimate gamers.
The HD requirements for these games are a bit low, I mean SQ 4,5,6 had talking and were on CD but the total for the collection is 850MB, does that mean some or all of the voice acting has been removed?

If you can't run 1080p it's probably because of your CPU, video cards only accelerate some video files. A 7300GS isn't very fast, in fact it's technically handicapped, so perhaps your problem really is the video card acceleration.

Yes, the new flagships will be the 300 series, but Nvidia hasn't fully confirmed dates nor model names yet. So far we just have rumors and unconfirmed leaks, imho the card posted here is a handicapped preview of what's to come. Normally Nvidia releases new chips as the highend card not the cheap low end, so I have no idea what they're up too, perhaps they just want to tap the cheap desktop market since the Aero desktop for Vista and Win7 is best on an efficient GPU (as in low watt, low heat) which this new chipset will deliver.

This makes me suspect (as we all knew anyways) that the GTX300 series won't arrive until on or after Win7, which is August for pre-built and October for retail purchase.
Yes, but you'll need 3 of them to run tri-SLI :P
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
