well this is the stupid thing about technology. if your going to go hardcore, just go for it. theres ALWAYS going to be new technology released at the end of the year... if you wait a few more months for it, theres going to be something NEW on the horizon AGAIN that youll be tempted to wait for... its a never ending cycle... as long as what you have is current upcoming gen which the 8800 is, be happy with it and dont agonise over it. the 8800 will do you VERY nicely for 2 years ATLEAST.

Yeah, wait for nv refresh, but oh no, R600 is lurking around the corner. Oh well, I'll wait for that. But wait, another nv refresh... I'll wait for that for sure, it will kick ass! But now I hear about this amd refresh?! I better wait for that, it will have 2GB of vram! Do I hear news on a new DX? I better wait for that, because this will have SM5.0 and it will kick some donkey balls. But hold on, what is it I hear about ...................
For now I'm gonna stay with my Riva TNT2!

I think what your saying is true to a certain extent. I believe there is always a timeframe in which an upgrade of a certain component is futureproof and will serve you well based on things to come.
An example would be the 7900 and 1900 series, they came out long ago and held their crowns up until the 8800. Say you jumped on a 7900GTX back near its launch well its still serving you very well since nothing really came out to stomp it besides the GX2 which is garbage to begin with.
But this whole DX10 fiasco is a mess, all sorts of crap will be coming out within months of each other and once you pull the trigger you aren't safe for very long like we were with the late DX9 generation where things sorta slowed down a bit. I feel bad for people who are buying 7600GT's in the next month or so when there are 8600's that will be released near the same price point.
But then again if you have a 8800GTX waiting for a R600 to beat the 8800's 120+ Fps by 30 Fps is pretty pointless so time will tell if that card remains a beast through the year.

who cares if u have 600$ vcard when there is nothing to play, since x360 i simply don't care about pc gaming anymore, no waiting for drivers,patches,pain in the ass protection or any other crap.
get>burn>play=simple

ELIZ, yet you still eagerly anticipate TDU on the PC... I wonder why, since you have it for x360...

You hate HDR? How is that possible? Games look so bleak without it... I'd trade AA (not a big fan of that, lol) for HDR at any game.

Ah fuck it, I just remembered I have a TV from 1989, no 720P support obviously and from what I hear the games look like ass on a regular TV.

You can hook the x360 to a monitor with a VGA converter...
But I  @ PS3 owners... They must buy their games for the near future, because afaik PS3 doesn't allow (for "security" reasons) to play PS3 games from DVDs...

I just called a guy selling his Premium system he bought for christmas he has it for sale for $225. I might grab it after i dig through the firmware buisness and see if its a convenient way of going about not having to buy games.
And duh I should have thought about the VGA converter I have one that came with my Vid card. Thanks man.

I think I can get away with <$300, $225 for the system and everything it came with and another guy offered to flash the Drive for $25. Then its just buying some DVD-RDL for the games.
