    Okay, I'm about to receive my m1730 tomorrow and I would like to know what games should I try out on the beast? I already have gears of war, COD4, and Unreal Tournament 3 ........ so are there any other titles I should try out? :)

    BioShock is a great game in my opinion better than Crysis.

    You can run Crysis on XPS m1530? I thought it took the XPS m1730 power to play that game?

    You can run it on an 8600 GT GDDR3 but you'll have the setting to Low

    What do you mean by low settings? Examples?

    Should we be listing games that play decent on regular settings?
    Or if someone mentions a game, say what settings can be used?

    I don't play many games on mine... and why the "stupid" quetions. :D
    I've only played MS FLIGHT 2006 & Madden 2006 on my XPS m1530.

    Get it. I can't say anything about the PC version. Yet the 360 version blew me away.
