That bonus content in GoW for PC/Mac better be coming to 360. That is some serious BS.

Of course it will come for the 360, It better be free though I don't want MS to charge us for something that is basically free on the PC version.

The last Unreal Tournament to come out on the Mac was 2004, so I'm happy about this one. Too bad it's specs will be so high that I won't be able to play it. Hell, UT2004 was nigh on impossible to play on my desktop machine.

Ooh.. something to use my Quad 2.66Ghz w/512MB x1800XT for :D Actually, it's probably coming due to the new Wine-type wrapper they're using for a lot of PC releases - very little (if any) conversion necessary. The downside is that PowerPC machines are basically out.

None of the extra content is coming out on 360...

Think there are actually PPC machines with the specs to run it well?

The last ones were dual-dual core 2.5Ghz PowerPCs I believe. That should be enough to run lots of stuff :)

It makes me pine for the old days, when all sorts of companies used to put out processor upgrades for just about every desktop Mac. Although I had a bad experience with one of those for my old UMAX C500. A crappy upgrade for a crappy computer.

Your desktop machine must be pretty outdated. I play UT2004 on a G4 mac mini and it runs fine. I can't really play Doom 3, though, and Halo chugs a lot.
There's no way GoW will even function on my machine, though, so I need something new.
