Apparently in anticipation of Crysis Warhead, Electronic Arts will be getting into the hardware business with some gaming PCs made to “correspond to Crysis Warhead’s levels of graphical detail, with a likely price range being $600-$800,” according to Remowned.

Üst düzey ekran kartlarının amacı sadece ve sadece en zorlu oyunları akıcı çalıştırabilmek. Bu yüzden pahalılar ve pahalı olmalarını sağlayan en önemli etmenlerden birisi de beraberinde getirdikleri oyunlardır. Dünyanın en büyük oyun yayıncılarından EA işi biraz daha ileri götürecek gibi görünüyor. Şirket, fiyatları 600 ila 800 USD arasında değişen oyun bilgisayarları satacak ve bilgisayarın kutu içeriğine bir tane de Crysis Warhead ekleyecekmiş.

Honestly I’m pretty sure it’s just a regular PC.

Perhaps with a very small solid state drive big enough for virtual space. In the 600-800 dollar range, I definately don't see it coming as a "classic" PC. However, PC is a rather vague term when one considers all the availablity of hardware options out there nowadays, doesn't it? Looking forward to seeing what this "system" is.

Has the cart now finally overtaken the horse?

I would think that non-PC Gamers would feel comfortable buying an EA branded PC that is marketed as a Crysis WARHEAD playing machine. If you have read anything about Crysis Warhead you will know that the system requirements for full graphic settings are much lower for Warhead than Crysis. The engine has been better optimized for Warhead and should also improve performance for Crysis if you have both games installed. To think EA would only provide support to PC with only EA games installed is absured.
