Are you investing into a nice stick? Also, I'm curious about the juice that's going to be required in order to run this game the way it's meant to be run. Judging by the videos, you're going to need a really solid rig to enjoy this game to the fullest.
Here's a pretty decent presentation. About 11 minutes in, he lays out the market they are going for. There's about 600 million PC Gamers, about 220 million of them have high-end GPU's, and about 30 million have ultra high-end rigs. They are going for the middle, where you do need a nice graphics card, but you don't need the baddest gaming rig.
