One more reason to stick with consoles
ars technica released a story that solidifies my belief that consoles are the way to go with games now a days. The story was in regards to the PC specs for Assassin’s Creed. I can’t believe what they are recommending when you compare it to what is in the Xbox 360!
Check out these specs Minimum/Recommended:
-
OS: Windows XP/Vista (only)
-
Processor:Dual Core 2.6GHz Intel or AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ /Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ or better
-
RAM: 2 GB / 3GB
-
Video Card: 256 MB DirectX 10.0–compliant video card /512 MB video card recommended (see supported list)*
-
Hard Drive Space: 12 GB
-
*Supported Video Cards at Time of Release:
ATI RADEON X1300-1950 / HD 2000 / 3000 series
NVIDIA GeForce 6600-6800 / 7 / 8 / 9 series
Hmm $300-400 console or $2000-$3000 computer. Easy decision for me. The last PC game I purchased was Half Life 2: Orange Box. I guess that will be my last PC game for a while.
