Wonder if this could actualy take off? :confused:

Very well priced, I imagine this might do quite well. I know quite a few people that have shown interest in Crysis, but have been completely clueless about what they would need to actually play the game.

I'm all for it.

I'd like to see it run 'Crysis' at high settings rather than 'Warhead' which is apparently coded better than 'Crysis'. Not to mention that "an average of 30fps" isn't good enough in my eyes.

Well with it coming from EA I am naturally prejudiced towards it, however, making these standard type of PCs for relatively cheap can be a good way to attract more less technically minded players to PC Gaming.

ye playable with 30Fps at probably 800x600 rez

i wonder if it could do 30fps on high with my 1920x1200 24" tft.

:rolleyes:

@ EA

You can only boot it three times before you have to call EA for a code.

LOL EA MADE THE GAME RIGHT??? OH WAIT.

But isn't Crysis itself playable on high at around 1280x1024/1440x900 as it is? I can't remember exactly how it ran when I had a 8800gt, but I am sure the only setting I had dropped was shadows on medium.

Bit more details on the spec.

Strife212 · 9 Sep 2008 at 21:33

Does it come with a 1280x1024 LCD monitor? Because it will need one.

mr.sly · 9 Sep 2008 at 21:34

Connect it to your HDTV?

Strife212 · 9 Sep 2008 at 21:34

Yeah you could, I was only joking anyway ^^

This threads about serious business, no room for jokes.

Suprisingly cheap $699. At the current exchange rate around £399. Shame where not $2 to the pound, at the moment.

It's from an American website, which I'm guessing will still be classed as a competitor. That's why I took the screenshot.

Shacknews The link is on there.

Good point, surely they won't be that stupid to ship it without an OS though. :eek:
