Damn, I was gonna get this on PC over PS3, but I guess now PS3 it is. Damn GFWL and SecuRom.

There was a thread about this in the News Room I think.

Still good to know, I was going to get it for the console anyway.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Ummm... Yay?

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Sony SECUROM and Microsoft GFWL, both happen to be there and making the console versions look 1000 times more appealing. It's a conspiracy I tell you!

You know that the PC version is going to be better though so it is probably worth getting that one if you have the hardware. The GFWL and Securom does remove value so maybe wait until it is on sale or second hand.

that appears as absolute gibberish to me, but if I get it i'll be picking it up for PS3 anyway.

hehe, I wasn't planning to get this (and I'm still not, on the PC at least, I'll check it out on the 360), but again, my system is perfectly adequate except my video card... I think my video card is an ati radeon x800 with 120mb... everything else I have meets the recommended specs for this.

my video card is like my achilles heel, lol

I am afraid the news room has beat you to this. On topic, although my computer can run this,I don't want the game a great deal, I hate Games for Windows.
