well that is not how it will work for everyone. I had a PS3 and 360 and could not get crap for the games. at Gamestop I was offered 3 bucks for Gears of War 2 a few years ago and a lady standing in line even told them that was stupid and gave me 15 dollars for the game.

Haha, I remember getting those $3 offers for used games they'd turn around and sell for $38. What the fuck, I'm going to sell your store my game so I can go and buy a beer?

The specs are nothing shocking. If you are AAA gaming at 1200p or 1600p in 2015 you will have a modern i5 if you want decent minimum's and you will have a 780+ if you have settings turned up @ 50FPS+. Dinosaur Core 2's need not apply. I'd rather exclude anything older than SNB and optimize the engine for AVX/AVX 2 and modern architectures than pandering to feeble dual cores in 2015.
