in b4 game sells like shit and Ubi blames pirates...

I wonder if anyone but me noticed this. Which means the 9800GX2 will be released before AC for PC is. AWESOME!

I noticed also, but your conclusion is wrong. It only means they have finalized a large portion of designs (which we knew already) and that they will be relatively close to release (which we also knew already) when the game launches. They likely have their hands on prelim info, and will probably end up addressing some issues for those cards in the first patch...and there will be patches =P

@topic,

Am I the only one who thinks that these requirements aren't horrible? Don't get me wrong they aren't lightweight but they aren't exactly Crysis either....

Video Card: The GeForce 6 series was released in early 2004 which by the time this game is released will be just shy of 4 years ago.

CPU: The recommended is a C2D 2.2Ghz or 4400+ X2, which if you look here and here you will see they are easily within budget for a gaming build. And remember those are recommended specs if you want minimum you can look here (needs a heatsink and fan tho, they're old enough that I don't think newegg carries them retail anymore).

RAM: First glance this sounds crazy until you realize that for basically $60-70 right now you can get 4GB of DDR2 800. But I will definitely agree this 2GB min is ridiculous and highlights some optimization issues that they are having.

Everything else should be easy to meet for anyone even considering playing this game on PC. Hell if you already have a monitor, Hard Drive, Optical Drive, PSU(400W+), and case you can build a mid to high end gaming PC out of those existing parts and probably another $400. For some folks this isn't worth it, not saying everyone should do it. Only that if you're a smart PC gamer you can get by with minimal costs and solid performance.
