Want This PC/Xbox 360 Hybrid? Sell Your Organs!
Origin's new gaming behemoth, dubbed The Big O, boasts an impressive feature set, but it will cost you.
The Big O's specs read like a entertainment junky's wet dream – dual Intel Xeon X5680s overclocked to 4.3GHz, up to 25GB of Corsair GT 2000Mhz memory, quad SLI EVGA GTX 480 FTW video cards, a Blu-ray drive, and an integrated Xbox 360 Slim. To keep all this badass hardware running smoothly, Origin implemented a liquid cooling solution. If you pimp out your configuration to the max, expect to drop around $16,999. Who's going to mortgage their future or sell off that extra kidney to buy one?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
