TS3 L&P
funkilla:
I plan on building a gaming rig next year anyway. Or like a media rig because I do a lot of short films and stuff. While my laptop is plenty capable, overheating is an issue for me. I'm just going to go out and build a rig anyway just for the cooling systems. Its definitely going to be high end, no doubt. I was planning to go Mac though, because I like Macs better for media use, but hate gaming on a Mac. I may just go windows, but not Vista. DO NOT WANT. I've very happy with XP Media Center.
Besides, I'm getting a macbook automatically when I start my online classes with Full Sail. So that will make 3 laptops and one PC when all is said and done. My other laptop is having an issue staying on, and I don't think its overheating. The battery is fried due to heat, but now even with the power supply plugged in, it shuts off after 30 minutes or so. So I had to get a new one. No problems yet *knock on wood*, but occasionally if the fans are blocked, it will overheat and shut off, which sucks.
Oh well.

I suggest just ordering the computer in pieces: It will be cheaper and you won't be including Vista in your costs.

I find the specs amusing. Some of the early interviews about TS3 claimed they were planning on making the specs *lower* than TS2, so that it would work on "your grandma's computer". That is now revealed to be blatant L&P.
Maybe requirements closer to the later expansions. There's no way they could claim it'd require less than the original game and still have it be an improvement over TS2. The original box requirements are only an 800mhz processor, 256mb ram, and a 32mb video card. But by the time you get to Apartment Life the requirements rise to 1.3 GHz (2.0 GHz for Vista) and 512 MB (1 GB for Vista) ram. Same 32mb video card though.
I can't picture any serious quote even by EA claiming they were going to let you use your Pentium III and GeForce 2 to play their sequel...

At the same time, they're also unwilling to say that people with crappy computers get smaller towns that their computers can handle. And since sims you don't control now bunnybreed without your input, well, you figure it out.

The townies will breed on their own :o? Even if a TS3 notowniewoohoo was possible I just don't think I want it, it sounds very bad. Even though still want to buy a new gaming rig this coming year, newegg has some nice boxes for under 900.
