(I'm talking about running the games on the maxed out settings, graphics, etc. My current computer can still play them on slightly lower settings, but I want all the bells and whistles!)

It can be addictive.

For example; what sized TV are you playing it on? I'm sure it looks great, but wouldn't a nice 36"+ widescreen make it that much nicer?

*flees!*
I know what you mean. I built a crazy computer a few years back when I was doing special effects for a film, but now it's pretty weak compared to my newer one. I have my PS3 and computer hooked up with a 32" 1080i LCD and 6.1 surround. I read that panel prices are going to plummet in '09, so I'm waiting until that happens to upgrade to a 42".
