Escapist News Network: XBox Platinum

[The Clinger]

I just threw together a computer on newegg with the best possible components, UPS, gaming headset, 3 mid range monitors, mouse and keyboard, 24 gigs of ram, (tri sli and unlocked cpu [I could go on]), and even with Washington sales tax, it was around 6k. I mean, you have to overclock the components by yourself, but still...

Full disclosure, I am not going to buy it (paying for college).

ETA: Admittedly I didn't add water cooling to it yet.

Yknow, I could see a special 'platinum' tier of XBL that you have to get invited to by being civil, and that other members can easily boot you out of for being a dick.

I refuse to believe that Duke Nukem: Forever is coming out. Until I have physically played the game I will insist that the game does not exist.
