Personally as a student living in Australia the price of games is a joke, our dollar is slightly higher than America's but yet we're still expected to pay $70-$100 for AAA titles on both PC and consoles that can be finished in one afternoon.
I think it will continue on even after its released, as much as i loved duke nukem 3d back in the day, this game looks like your average FPS, nothing more. No way it will live up to all the hype.
Hopefully they do bring one out eventually competition is always a good thing and panasonic make quality products. Not that I'm a console gamer but hey I'd love to find a product that good to would make me turn.
My college has just upgraded all their C2D E6800 with 4GB of RAM to Core i5-650 with 8gb of RAM. not sure about the GPU's. Sadly their PC's are better than mine.
Is this a joke?
They have been using serial codes on PC games for decades and i don't know a single game that you cant get the serial code for.
The only downside is usually no multiplayer access, but in some games that's not a downside at all.
