I pre-ordered Deus Ex Human Revolution Augmented Edition from Amazon.com last night, and it's going to be in tomorrow. Is anyone else getting it? Deus Ex was one of my all-time favorite games, and this one looks like it will be even better.

I definitely would like to get it, especially after reading the first reviews stating that the game really is as good as the original Deus Ex - if not better. Unfortunately, my MBP hardly won't be able to handle the game. My other option would be the PS3, but I don't play first person shooters there (BF1943 and the DNF demo affirmed me in my conviction that FPSs and gamepads don't go together...).

I've played the Press demo, and its FANTASTIC. I've pre-loaded it on Steam a few days ago, but I'm currently in London traveling so I won't be able to play until I get back in a week. I read the IGN and Gamespot reviews this morning and its pretty much what I thought of the demo. Can nearly max it on my iMac, so that's good too. A mac port would be nice, but I'm not counting on it. I also got the Augmented Edition

I'm getting it on my PS3, so I took it from that approach.

What I never understood is, how with James Bond X-Ray glasses it only went through outer clothing, conveniently only showing undergarments. Was there ever an explanation for that?

Well sure. It was only powerful enough to see through one layer of clothes, I mean give them a break, back then the technology was in its infancy. I went through airline security Tuesday, and they assured me they could see all the way to my junk. See, just give them time, in 10 years it will be able to see INTO your junk.

Made me think of these:
Which you could order from certain pages in comic books back in the day.
At least James Bond's don't make him look like a goof and give away his intentions as well.
According to that ad though for only $1 you can have better X-Ray goggles than James Bond.
So I guess you tradeoff looks\discreetness for functionality.

Because most computers have shipped with that since what 2008? I doubt there are a lot of machines that will play this without issues that didn't ship with 4GB of ram.
How could that even be an issue? 2x2GB of RAM most likely costs less than the game.

Don't really think there's much of an excuse to not have a system with 4GB of RAM or more these days. Its almost default config in everything, and if its not, its a smart investment to make things faster gaming or not.
I don't have any word on how necessary the 4GB actually is. I suspect its the "supported" requirements, and if you have less you could run the game, just on lower settings. Total speculation though.

In gaming the the level your playing is loaded into the RAM. That's the loading screen that you see. It's your Hard Drive loading the required data into the RAM, so that the game can have fast access to it.
As games get more detailed and stuff, it requires more RAM to hold the required amount of information for the game to run smoothly. If you don't have enough RAM then the game has to start pulling stuff from your hard drive which is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy slower then your RAM. As such you'll just to get significant framerate losses when you change environments (ie: change from an indoor to an outdoor environment in the game.)
If you have a enough RAM, it doesn't effect your performance at all (ie: 8 GB's of RAM won't give you any more performance then 4 GB will, assuming your not running a ton of other apps at the same time.). It's when you don't have enough RAM that you'll see huge performance losses, and a simple $20 RAM upgrade could make a huge difference.
If your just a general computer user who doesn't have much open other then maybe email, web browser, and the game, there is no need to go past 4 GB's of RAM. If your a power user who has a ton of RAM intensive apps open at once (photoshop, video editing, etc.) and want to game on top of that without closing those programs, then you'll want at least 8 GB's of RAM.
Also, since all RAM in current mac's is dual channel, you'll want to always use RAM in pairs, If you have 4 RAM slots in your computer, always use either 2 or 4 of them, otherwise your RAM will drop to single channel mode, which significantly reduces it bandwith.

Lion won't even run decently with less than 4GB of RAM so trying to play a game is not worth it. It will run with 2GB but you will get pauses while it loads stuff from the HD as it does not have enough RAM. With 2GB I have stutters on my MacPro (with high end 5000 AMD Card attached). By updating the RAM to 4GB you get smooth gameplay with no stutters with everything turned up to 11.
4GB is the minimum the game needs but considering the price of RAM I would not personally run any Mac without at least 8GB or RAM these days it makes a huge difference to everything from Mail to Safari and costs less than a single game in cost.
