    Get it on the 360. The 8600M GT can't even scratch what the PS3/XBox 360 can do for this game.

    The Laptop in my sig can barely handle this game on decent settings. Get it for the 360.

    It will run like dirt on your GPU, sorry to say that. But you can optimize the game through .xml files so it might run good enough for you.

    This should really be posted in either the 8600m thread or the Can My Notebook Run... thread.
