Cheapest Far Cry deal?

[Miktrebla]

Title says it all. Anything lower than the original price ($39.99) would be preferred.

outpost.com has it for $30. Shipping is $2-$3. Lowest I've seen it.

if you have the fry's ad, it's only $29.99 (same as outpost) and you can pm it at bb and use the ggc.

i would wait until this weekend to go out and grab it. PC games usually go on sale 1-2 weeks after they are released. BB or CC will probably have it this week, if you want to wait to check out the adds. thats how I plan on picking it up.

also, make sure u got plenty or RAM. this games a system killer.

 

[MANIMAL]

how much RAM u reccomend?

 

[st0neface]

I'd say you'd be fine with 512

 

[MANIMAL]

i figured we'd need double that

 

[jalu6]

well ive been checking out some forums about it, and people are saying you need 1 gig to get it to run smoothly on high. if you dont mind knocking it down to medium or low, 512 would do you fine. the box says 256 min, but 512-1024 is recomended. i wont know for sure till i pick it up, but i do know the demo ran pretty badly until i upgraded to a gig.

i also read somewhere that it doesnt like ATI cards, but i think thats probalby some Nvidia fanboy who saw that it said "Optimized for Nvidia" on the box and bought into the marketing.

The Fry's in Texas has it for 27.99

 

[jalu6]

just got the price ads for next week, and i was right, starting tomorrow BB will have it for 29.99

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

Don't for get the Gamers Gift Gard which will bring it down to $25.

I ran the demo fine on my GF2MX400 64 MB, 700 Mhz Athlon, 384 MB RAM on mostly Medium and low settings.

Rule: make sure you keep textures and water away from low. It looks horrible that way. Otherwise, enjoy the view.

its bull that is doesnt like ati. i ran both demoes on my radeon 9800, and it was perfect, even on max settings, with full AA and everything. thats jsut marketing crap thats it only works on one or the other.

 

[jalu6]

ok, i got it at best buy today and it looks pretty sweet on medium and high settings. and the gameplay is just awesome. any pc gamers who can handle it should go pick it up tomorrow.

heres what im running it on for all interested.
Athalon XP 2400+
ATI Radeon 9600XT
1gig Kingston Value (ghetto) RAM

THis game is awesome and has the best multiplayer since Counter-Strike (CS still owns it, though).
