My nephew plays the demo with a tnt2 ultra. I play at work with an nforce2 onboard geforce4mx graphics chip. Both play fine at 640x480 and 800x600 with low graphics settings.

My 9700pro at home is better but that is run at 1280x1024 4x AA

GAH! I hate this, people say they are going to go pick up BF Vietnam TODAY. Once and for all, can I pick it up today, or do I have to wait for the 16th?

A good deal for some perhaps... but free NOT!!

Try $12.99 a month... !!! Sucks in my book.

New sort of "bait and switch" tactic?

Comm'n EA, you'll make a bundle @ $2/month... but $144/year...

Buy this for your nephew or neice (as I almost did) and suffa!!

What's with this link??

I just tried it, and my comp hung.

I figure, well...it's probably low on resources, so I tried it on another computer...also hung...

Tried it on a third....hung...?

Very strange...is it working for others? If not, it ought to be removed.

Both still working for me 🙁

 
If you look on cheapassgamer.com right now they have a link to overstock.com selling Raven Shield for 11.99 with 1.40 shipping... very nice 🙂
 
I don't know how popular CSCZ will be but don't believe the BB available date of Thursday. They will probably get it in one or two days before the available date and put it on the shelf. They did this on UT2K4/SE last week and screwed a lot of people who were waiting until first thing Thursday to pick it up. We learned last week that software does not have a $ penalty if stores put it out before the "Street Date" like DVDs and CDs.

Speaking of UT2K4, CC has it on sale for $30. I think it's the regular version but they show a silver box in their ad. Might be able to get the SE version if they have it in stock for the $30 sale price. I'm going to try and pick one up today for a friend.

BFV is on sale for $30 at CC this week also. If you bought it from BB last week at $35 go back to BB and PM it to the lower price.
 
LA/OC Fry's has UT2003 for $9.99. If you're going to buy/have bought UT2004 and want UT2003, that's pretty much FAR.
