PC gaming can be an expensive hobby, especially when it comes to hardware. Not every gamer can afford to build their own computer, especially when they're stuck with the most basic multipurpose setups around. Luckily, there's several steps that can be taken to play video games on low-end hardware. Whether it's using low framerate configuration edits, comparing system specifications before purchasing, or simply buying well optimized games, low-end gaming can be a manageable experience for players on a budget.

"Holy moses." That's all I can say. You know that card of "bank error in your favor" in Monopoly and Uncle Pennybags is reeling backwards in surprise? That image perfect sums up this presser out of Sony. The 2nd of the "Big 3" press events (Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo), Sony came in running a stark counter to Microsoft whom presented a significantly more focused hardware leaning presentation. Sony brought the games to the show. They didn't just bring the games, they brought tears to many people's eyes and screams of joy.
