This is such a great time for PC gaming, it's crazy. I'm trying to download everything at once.

[y00tz]

Me too ,  have you gotten Orange Box yet Eiii?

[Eiii]

I'm only getting Portal for now, TF2 after I'm convinced I'll really like it. I don't like HL2 that much.

I do have Halo 3, am planning on getting Mass Effect and Crysis.

Not getting UT3, COD4, or HL2EP2.

Crraaaaazy time.

Portal is very fun, so far Peggle Extreme and Portal are the only two I've enjoyed playing.. TF2 has a high learning curve.

"Our vision for Crysis has always been to create the most stunning, immersive FPS experience ever, and we've been working hard not only to do that on the high end, but also in pushing current generation hardware so that everyone gets the maximum experience," said Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek. "And while these specs affect how Crysis will perform now, we have also optimized Crysis so that the game scales forward 1-2 years -- we want to make sure that Crysis' gameplay, visuals and performance improves as technology does."

Looks like I need to get that 500 gb drive installed.

[y00tz]

Oi, before this holiday season I'm sure I'll have to upgrade my HDD

[y00tz]

Bah, stupid crysisdemo.com counter stopped a few hours ago but just says "waiting for tuning..."

[Eiii]

Comes out tomorrow. They just don't know the exact time, is my guess.

[y00tz]

You are correct sir, 7am EST, 6am CST, so 4am for those who live in the Seattle timezone

[Eiii]

A day late? Ppph.

1.77 GB download, choose the FileFront mirror, no signup or login and has a very fast rate with little traffic.

Actual game is ~45 minutes, but you'll spend a lot more if you explore.

Cheers

y00tz beat me. :<

I'll get back to you guys on DX9 vs DX10 (assuming there's any difference at all).

My demo download is at 44%.  Takes forever with wireless.

Crysis doesn't start....
I have only a black screen with a "Pre-Release Demo"-Text on the top.

CPU and GPU Benchmarks works fine. 22 FPS at Very High (1024x768, AA off).

How long did you wait?  I have a mid-high system and it stays at the black screen for a few minutes
