Pre orders are a financial dilemma that could turn into an expensive way of burning $ if i haven't even seen the game and i'm gonna plop 120 bucks for a CNC3 that i have little idea whether its gonna lag like sh1t or just barely run or run ok except when the nuke explodes only then lag if i run it at my LCD native resolution. Its rather expensive at 120 for the plain version considering that NFSC i got on preorder was 79 bucks summore collectors edition blabla. I missed out on the preorder, was 1 day late when i realised it and i was also rather tight financially and if i blew alot of money on a crappy game it would've sucked. If it (CNC3) was priced at a double digit figure NORMALLY, no complaints. I hardly buy originals, usually 1-2 per yr due to affordability and price/performance of the game (is it worth my $$ or not). Having pirated copies allow me to judge whether it is worth buying original or not (if it is, then i'd get the original, preferably secondhand)

Before some red tag asks how many cores i have and whether my PSU is powerful enough to cook maggi+fry eggs, my rig is 70% secondhand parts with the only things newer than 2005 would be a 320gb hard disk, a 19" lcd on promotion and a dvd burner.. Secondhand: AMD2500/S462, NF7 with broken USB, Geforce 5700, crappy old logitech mouse, free keyboard, 1.5gb ram. Recon from old PC: SBlive sound card, FDD, CDRW, 420W PSU
