While I can appreciate your frustration, there's no need for mis-typed barely-phonetic versions of extremely rude and unwelcome words, so I edited your post.

From GameSpot:
PC gamers looking to get in on BioWare's version of the future won't be able to--at least not yet. One company rep answered the question by stating, "Mass Effect is an Xbox 360-exclusive title." But don't let that dampen your hopes, PC users. Fable and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic were also announced as Xbox-exclusive games, but were later released for the PC.
All hope is not lost, my friend. With any luck they'll make it available for the PC and I will be able to slay you, repeatedly, while drinking my weak American beer and eating things on toast.

Bleh, I scoff at your puny american gestures, while also indulging in said things on toast.

Mmmm. Thingy goodness...

This one looks interesting, thanks for pointing it out Gryph. Fingers crossed for a PC release only a month or two down the line :)

The game looks AWESOME! But is the type of game I would only play on the puter, not the Xcrapbox.
Regulate drunken matches of fighting, racing and sports games to the consoles..... and keep the real meat and potatoes for the puter. TYVM.

:cool:

Rock'n :thumb: That is definately a thing of beauty :cool:
Yeah, ever since we seen that in Feb MPC showed they could overclock a P4 3.46 system past 5Ghz with phase change cooling, Intel supporters have climbed out from under the woodwork and got'n the courage to give voice against AMD users......

Too bad a single phase change device alone costs more then my newest computer did :sweat:

(last I checked it was around $900)

Curious why they only used a X850XT card :weird:

Was the X1xxx series not available? Or was there no phase/water cooling solution available for the card?

Speaking of the Xbox 360, I saw a deal in an EB flyer yesterday where you get $80 towards a 360 when you trade in your old Xbox. I'm thinking about borrowing $100 or from my parents since I only have about $270 at the moment. That way I can get a 360 with lag-free Oblivion.

No thanks, and I'll give you two reasons why.

Thief: Deadly Shadows, Deus Ex: Invisible War.

2 games I really would've thought great except one problem. The graphics. Both games were made for the xbox, then ported to the PC. The graphics were abysmal, almost grainy. If something that's supposed to look great on a TV looks like crap on my PC, then there's just no comparison in my mind. They seriously looked like they both had to be dumbed down graphically so they could run on that console.

So, no thanks.

p.s. yes, in case you didn't detect, I still harbor a lingering resentment for the injustice done to both games because of it :p

whoa whoa whoa now, you can't be hating on the 360 cause the original.....

Th original sucks balls, i'll so agree with you on that, thats why I own a PS2 :D


But the 360 is serious, I mean I just woke up. I ended up playing Dynasty Warriors 5 till 6:30 in the mornin.... :weird:
