again the point is the game is good enough that people will find a way to play it the way they want.

just like windows 95 was probably largely responsible for people upgrading from 486 to Pentium and PII. many people will get better faster video cards to play doom3.

so in case you didn't get the point, people will play the game and spend the money to do it. that is the point.

People need to get a life
But, you make a point
People will spend hundreds of dollars to spend their time playing a computer game, and it does not surprise me.

just like people will spend hundreds of dollars on their car trying to go fast, it's the samething.

some find spending money on a computer and playing games a waste of time and others find spending money on a car to make it go fast waste of time.

This is true. :rick: I spent almost 200 on a 9600xt a while ago so I could play a little better in CS, UT2004, and NFSU. Not much different than people spending hundreds on a console game system, right?

It's all subjective.
I hate when people on this board try to argue about subjective, opinionated things. No one ever wins.
But then I'm getting a little off track, no?
