So the game won't run on XP or Direct X 9?

Isn't the xbox dx9?

ah...thanks. I don't recall stuff from last month, let alone 9 months ago. This just makes it even easier for me to avoid the game. It isn't in the budget to get a new rig, paying for reception and everything else - gaming has gone to the back burner.

Looks like I will stick to indie gaming on the pc and rentals on the xbox.
Play BF3 on your console!
