Aliasalpha: (assuming there is a pc demo)

Now, you know better than that :p

Yeah, unfortunately the demo was only released for the PS3 and Xbox360, so at the worst you could also play it on one of thos consoles (if you don't own such a console, maybe a friend does?)
But either way, the PC version is so much better given that FPSes (and thus this game by association) handle better with the mouse/keyboard combination. And the physX stuff is sweet too.

I bought it, it's retail so it'll come in a box I assume.

NewEgg.ca with its 20$CAD price disagrees with this topic.

I've got the game on both and I really disagree with this. Given that you really have no need to use guns at all, the extra accuracy a mouse gives you is pretty redundant. I actually found that the gamepad worked really well and would consider them pretty evenly matched.
That said, that's a great price for the game, but given the activation restrictions put in place, I wouldn't want to pay any more for the PC version.

Damn, forgot about that and I just bought it. Oh well, from all the praise it's getting I assume paying six bucks and having limited activations balances out in the end.
and @Weclock thanks for the heads up

I have an ATI card, anyway.

Agreed. I played it on the PS3, (though I may just get the PC version myself... 'cause... cheap, and... soooooo pretty...) and I've always found that mouse/keyboard is good for accuracy, but controllers are better for movement. Analog sticks are crap for aiming, but they're much better for smooth movements in the field.

As the game was released after May 2008 EA have a revocation tool that will revoke any activations in place. You can get it, and more information, from here:

It is now sold out :P

I'll just get the novelization when it comes out, or catch the inevitable film.

Those would require the game to be very successful. :P
I think an anime or something like that could be genuinely cool though, if handled properly.

It's an instant blockbuster! Quick, call Bruckheimer, Bay, Cameron or anyone that isn't Boll!

Damn, I missed that roll after the last jump. No wonder I couldn't get through that first chapter! lol.
