or an Xbox, but i'll be playing it on my PC. might get a shot at the editor too.

somewhat unrelated: have you noticed most really good games are very editable ? (Half-Life, SEIV, TES3 Morrowind)

Moddability increases replay value exponentially.

4.6GB, 1Gb RAM, 3GHz Wow! It will be really beautiful, or unfinishable and probably both...

Check out the screenshots.
My comp barely meets the cpu and memory requirements. It probably doesn't meet the graphics requirements.

And this keeps me playing TES III for several more months (or years?). There are hundreds of mods at my to-play list and I have not even started the main quest or the addons during the last years. TES rules !

Anyone with the ES-Avatar "PirateLord" watching this thread?

About the Xbox 360, from what I've read, no it does NOT support all Xbox games at the time of release. However, as long as you have the internet or even a friend with the internet and a CD burner, you can install updates to the xbox 360 that will make it compatible with more xbox games. Did I mention you get free basic Xbox Live service?

Personally, I stay away from 'Bleeding Edge' games that have uber sys requirements. Speed is not the end all of criteria for me. I can't afford to buy a new computer every year (or every 6 months) just to be in the 'Top 5%' of PC users.

The good thing, is that by the time I have a system that can run the game, the game will be in the bargain bin

lol, it's a win-win situation.

which reminds me, I should go back and read through my year 2000-2001 PC Gammer magazines to see what would be good on my current system.

Cheers!

I have some of those lying around, lemme know if you want them

I tend to upgrade my PC every year now, but that's mainly because I havent got much expenses, and every year my summer job nets me $2K which is enough to buy an almost top-end PC.
