Re:
Umm... You do realise that when a company starts manufacturing in developing countries, it's because the people there are so poor that they'll work for really low wages, right? No company would do that out of charity and pay the workers normal wages, because they'd go bankrupt very, very quickly ...

It's funny how in any discussion of Crysis, comparison of system specs ultimately comes before any mention of its gameplay. Of course, that's okay. I thought Far Cry was annoying hollow too. Unfortunately, it's the ones who complain about gameplay who always seem to bring up system specs first. For ...

The game will bring your system to its knees. There's no doubt about that. I have an Intel Q6600 overclocked to 3.6 GHz and an Nvidia 8800 Ultra overclocked to 660 Mhz (memory @ 1200 Mhz). I get ~22 f/s at the \"high\" detail settings--and it's just barely playable at that. The suit mode switching ...

I've sold a few guns through Guns America. You might get a better price for them because of the bigger audience. You will still need an FFL dealer to do the transfer paperwork though. They have a database search of dealers so you can find someone locally to handle that.
