| | That's my point though, the fact that they are advertising for under the recommended age on the "your mom hates it so it must be cool" premise. My wife and I are/near 30 and don't have any kids yet (and none planned in the near future). So the "mom's" would have kids in/near that age group easily. I also wasn't making a dig towards you, in fact with you acknowledging that you were 38 before you had your first child then you agree and made my point that these mom's could still have kids in that 10-17 year age range (granted they probably have a couple out of high school as well). No one here, really cares when you personally knocked up your wife/girlfriend. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | While they did seem older, not everyone get's pregnant at 17. I lived in what is considered "heart of the conservative America" and most of my friend's parents in junior high and highschool were around that age before we graduated highschool. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | I thinks it's a ridiculous ploy to get gamers 10-17 to buy, or try to buy, a game rated Mature (17+). I won't buy the game because of what they did, but I'm sure that won't stop them from making alot of money just from that advertisement alone. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | I don't think that will be an option till several months down the road. Right now those GTS 4xx series cards are Fermi's that didn't make the grade somehow as the GTX480 or 470. I'm kinda disappointed in Nvidia this round, great technology it's just too hot and too loud for the application I'd need one for (HTPC/Gamer and gaming Laptop). Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Most manufacturers are tight lipped because if they release specs/pricing 6 months before the actual product ships there could be consumer backlash if those specs/pricing aren't true for some reason. NDA's are there to hide from their competition and possibly save their hides should the final product not be what they had originally intended performance wise. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | It's a good card, but it's only $50 short of a 5850 and $100 more than the 5770. It's either too expensive and the person will buy the 5770 or why not spend the extra $50 for 30% more performance. At about $200 this card would be priced appropiately. Flag this | Edit this post |

| » 5770 is priced about right
The 5770 offers a bit over half the performance of a 5850 for about half the price. It's priced about right. Remember, the 5850 was supposed to be a $260 card MSRP and because of supply and demand it carries a $50+ premium. Flag this | Edit this post |
