I think what shows like South Park do is smart. just put your shyt on the internet with adds

that's kind of the key: you have to make your service more convenient than piracy. that was kind of an issue PC gaming had for awhile, because people would pirate games just to avoid crazy DRM. I also recently heard some stat (I don't remember where) that when countries gets access to netflix, piracy drops considerably. people don't want to be 'pirates', they just want to watch what they want, when they want, at the 'press of a button'

yup

i only pirate what i cant find on netflix. would gladly pay double, maybe triple for more content

almost done with mafia 2. think ill do walking dead next. how many hours does witcher 2 take?

If you do both paths, it'll take you around 75 hours to beat. It is an amazing 75 hours too

And do both paths

The Walking Dead is status too. Maybe start with that, if you need a short game. That's like 15 hours if you explore everything

Spoiler

all of the Elizabeths from the different dimensions got together to take out all of the different versions of "you" in all of the dimensions because no matter how different their worlds are...some things stay the same and "you" are an ass hole in every dimension.

Spoiler

Yeah, this. You're a straight dikk all over the place. Being comstock, giving your daughter away cuz of a gambling debt (), etc. You're a piece of shyt basically

The $620 is the better deal though the PSU it comes with is pretty weak for a 460 SLI setup.

Cool, I figure I can just upgrade the power if needed. Thanks.

What do you plan on doing with that PC? I actually wouldn't recommend either of those systems, was just letting you know which is the better deal.

Budget Gaming.O yah whats wrong with em?

The 460's don't even have a 1GB of ram. Nowadays what most people recommend is at least 2GB so you may have to upgrade the GPU setup if you notice any performance issues in the games you plan on playing. Other than that its a solid build if you rather not build your own. You can always sell the 460's to recoup some cash and buy a better card.

Yah he says he can play cyrsis 3 at 1920 1080p ultra settings with no lag. Plus I probably will be playing mostly old games.

I'm trying to get a used comp so my options are limited. This seems to be the best deal in my price range.
