You're wasting yoru breath on him though. If I remember correctly he once said "What would Microsoft know about games" to which I replied "They've only made games for ages, joysticks, steering wheels and last but not least the OPERATING SYSTEM on which most games are played........
If someone wants to buy a Sony product because they want to buy a Sony product that's fine but to ignore the fact that the 360 is cheaper, just as good and comes with an established online community is sheer lunacy in my opinion.
I just built the following system for £285 quid
Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 (only bought it because CPU prices will be falling even further in July ;) )
Asus P5B Deluxe Wi-Fi
2Gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800
Following parts were reused from my old system
Antec P180 case
Antec NeoHE 550w PSU
Logitech G15 keyboard and G5 mouse
ATI X300 128mb card (getting a replacement in the next week or so as I could afford it when I built the PC)
So with the addition of a X1950 XT I have a PC which costs 10 quid more than a 60gb PS3 and does a lot more.
I always always always say to people if they are considering buying a console "If your PC is less than a year old spend that money on your PC and it will be much much much better than that console you want to buy" or sell your PC and put the money from that together with the money you were going to spend on a console and you'll get a kickarse PC!!!!!
What are your system specs Helstar? :)
This was a terrible sucky game.
Amazing graphics, sound and damage physics but its even more arcadish then earlier CMR games.
CRAP GAME
Intel C2D E6600@3300mhz (2400 default) cooled by Zalman 7700 silent mode, mb Asus P5W Deluxe (average overclocker but there was this one or the Intel BadAxe to choose for a Core 2 Duo cpu back in summer 2006 ...), 2GB ddr2 Twinmos, psu OCZ Powerstream 420W, hard disks WD Raptor 74GB for the OS + Samsung 500GB sata2 as storage, videocard Nvidia Geforce 7950gx2. Quite happy about the results I have with this, I can't complain ! (surely not really cheap but I'm an hardware addicted ^^).Quote:

And I don't care about dx10 at the moment - I don't have Vista too so ...).
So true http://www.motorsportforums.com/foru.../icons/cry.gifQuote:

But congrats to the programmers because it has been discovered that it actually uses dual core CPUs (but it fails to work with no SSE2 processors ^^).
Veeeery nice system :)Quote:

If I run into a bit of a wall with games I get a much better CPU cooler and will overclock my E4300 but it seems to be doing fine at the moment :)
Last night I ordered an X1950XT 512 so this system should be able to crush most games now :)
And it looks very nice too :s mokin:Quote:

Physics are weird as hell and playing with anything less than 30 fps is suicide because the car just becomes uncontrollable. But as Helstar said it does appear to utilise dual core from what i could see on the LCD screen on my keyboard :D So that's at least something positive.
I managed to get my copy of DIRT today for the Xbox360, only had chance for about 20mins of play. A quick blast down of 4 stages in a revvy S2000 Grande Punto.
So far so good, I`m liking it, but need more play time for a decent review.
Neil :D
Is the actual game been released now?
