    Apparently PC games from India are a lot cheaper.. I would wait for other forumers who have purchased games from there for their feedback as to the whole "region" issue if there is one

    Well, if your gfxcard is up for it, this game is so totally worth it.

    I can only handly up to 4x AF en 4x AA .. SUCKS, but if youre the man with tha plan and able to run 16x both settings... BUY IT

    I got a really cheap copy of Majesty 2 on ebay that was an import, it was *not* region free though so online play doesn't work (I was aware of this before buying).

    Do the "ask a question about this auction" thing and be very specific so that there's no chance of a miscommunication and if it really is english language region free and the seller guarantees it will work online I'd buy it.

    lol?

    As if 4x AA vs 16x AA is even that noticeable(on higher resolutions). If you don't buy a game because you can't run it at 16x AA then your extremely picky. Anyone should still buy it even if you can only run it at the lowest settings(With decent frame-rates) since the game-play is amazing.

    Same deal over at Korea, some things are a lot cheaper there including computer games but it's been a while since I've lived there so I don't know if there are any region lock outs.

    im just saying its a must have for the ones with a good system, not saying that its a no-no for people with less :eek:

    16x AF is very much noticable, and yes.. i do like my visuals lol

    AF is completely different than AA. AA is only marginally useful over 2-4x, and is a huge performance hit with every level you pump it up.

    I purchased GTA IV from India on eBay and it turned out very well. Online was fully working too. The box of the game didn't seem very original as it was basically a cardboard box, it also included everything that the original game would of had too, like the map and instructions booklet.

    I purchased it when the game was only released and got it for £20 ($30) instead of £30 ($45).

    I got Batman from India for £13.

    Also preorderedBF:BC2 from coolshop.co.uk for £22.99 which is about comparable to that - they've since pushed up the price though.

    Can't wait for Friday (I hate that we Europeans have to wait another 3 days after the US release date...).

    Hoping it'll run well at native res on my laptop (anyone here tried it with a 280m or equivalent?)

    It will kick your pc's behind!
    Meaning that your 285 will run eveything maxxxed out.

    I know that because my 230 is handling high settings 'aight'.

    No 16X AF but well.. high textures are cool.
