Shit. MUST NOT GET 360...

I got my bonus this year from work. And I am now running out of excuses to not buy the 360...Before it was I really didn't have the money to spend on it, but now that excuse is gone.

I still have a hard time justifying getting this since I have a computer than is pretty powerful and has no problem running COD4 at it's maximum settings. And the next game I really want to get is Crysis but in order to truly appreciate it I have to upgrade my video card to a DirectX 10 card and ruin my system by installing Vista and hoping I can do a dual boot. I really wish they would release DX10 to XP.

GRRR!!

Not to hijack this thread too much, but Mass Effect is pretty much reason enough to plunk down the money for a 360.  Wowzers...

Don't bother in regards to both. Save the money and wait for the PC version of Mass Effect.

As for Crysis, ha. You can enable pretty much all the same Very High effects and even more in DX9 and it runs better than under DX10. I wouldn't recommend the game for single player, it was honestly one of the worst SP FPS experiences I've had in a long time after the first few levels. The MP is great but next to no one plays it at the moment unfortunately. The SP campaign falls apart really badly at the level you drive the tank around in and explodes in awful as you reach the alien crap. The zero-g level were you fight the aliens without their encounter suits is probably some of the absolutely worst gameplay I've ever experienced in any game (even worst than Halo's library or the final level escaping the ship in the warthog). The entire thing makes me feel sick trying to navigate and its incredibly hard to see where you are going since the entire place looks exactly the same and its very easy to get turned around and confused in the worst combat ever fighting the magical ice shooting squid alien things that move so very fast. It improves somewhat after that but remains fairly shitty right up to the abrupt ending which just stops midway fighting the aliens offering no conclusion aside from that Crytek wants to screw you by making you pay $60 twice more for the rest of the game.

What video card do you have running Crysis on DX9 with? I have a 7900 GS which I'm assuming will choke on it.

Just replaced my 'old' 8800GTS 320 with a new 8800GT 512 earlier this month before playing through Crysis. It made all the difference at 1680x1050.

Thought it might be time to revive this, what with all the new games (Left for Dead, Gears of War, Animal Crossing).

Might wanna sticky this, perhaps?
