Mac Quake 4 now shipping
Apr 14th 2006 3:43PM (Joystiq)You can get XP for a lot less than that. Many people can get free licenses at work or school as well.
And it isn't just Quake IV that you save $$ on. Look at Neverwinter Nights. For $30, you can get the Diamond Collection for PC (3 modules, 3 premium modules), whereas is still costs over $100 to get the Mac versions of just the first three modules. You've recouped the cost of XP right there! Not to mention all the game bundles that you can only get for PC. Civ4 and HMM5 will also be cheaper on the PC side. It all adds up.
You have to look at the big picture, guy. In the long run, you'll save a lot of money buying the PC versions for boot camp. The question is, will they run as well on the Intel Macs?
