I like how the minimum specs sound pretty low for video card (Radeon 9800 Pro), but recommended jumps to near the best video card available (GeForce 8800). 1.5GB RAM as a minimum sounds pretty hefty as well. It will be interesting to see what specs are necessary for what kind of performance, including resolution, AA, filtering, and FPS. Either way, I can't see this as good news for the sales forecast.
