Not too pleased with FP either. Granted, I did manage to get the entire download but the fact that it took 5-6 hours to download is lame.
Especially considering it only took me 30 minutes to download the unlocked version off of torrent. Kind of sad really. I paid money for a year FP subscription and the torrent website that's many times faster cost me nothing more than the free invite code I needed to register.
Oh well, At least it's installed and ready to go now. Too bad I can't play yet though. The only bad thing about working from home is that if I allow myself to slack and play for even a couple hours, it'll eventually spiral out of control and I'll be out of a job.. then out of a home and then my financee will leave me... Eventually I'd be reduced to standing on the corner bothering you for your change.
No Bioshock! You can't do that to me! I won't let you.

I'm getting 30 FPS most of the time, highest was 54 in the water at the beginning, max settings 1680x1050 with a 6300@3ghz, 2GB Ram and a 1950XT. I've quitted out though as I'm getting a lot of buzzing on the audio? Someone else mentioned this too so maybe it's a bug.
Gonna put on a bit of AA and see how it cripples it
At the moment I can't notice any difference between this and the 360 version, I've preordered on the PC purely for kb&mouse.

15 minutes to play through it once perhaps. I have a really addictive personality and it gets me into trouble. I'd end up playing through it once.. twice.. then somehow BF2 would be open and then a short time later, it would be dark outside.

Just played it for ten minutes and it is truly an excellent game and is now on my shopping list on release date, plays as smooth as silk on my HD2900XT, though as others have said, there is no option to turn on AA, even so it looks well sweet at 1680x1050. Cant seem to find anyway to save the game in the demo, guess you cant?
Got the demo at last, will play after I've had some food
I just signed up for a premium RapidShare account to get it.. Was about £3 for 2 days so not too bad. Should have it shortly. The rars are password protected though.. No idea what the password is! Will have to get some sort of cracker on the go...

Free AA, wear some smudged/dirty specticles, thats what i do. Or if u need glasses take em off and ull see it blured a bit so nice and smooth.

Just played through the demo and its very intense! Throws you right into some madness!
Looks amazing.
I played it at 1440x900 all on high with a e2160 @ 2.7 + 2gig ram + x1800xt and i diddnt have any slow down at all.
Don't know what my fps were but it all felt smooth so i don't care about checking!
Very good graphics i really liked being in the tunnel when all the water shoots in
