First off, see how well your computer can run the game by doing this:
1). Go to www.srtest.com
2). Select Battlefield 3 by either going to the dropdown box or typing it in. Click [Can You Run It?]
2a). You may need to install the srtest file. Download it.
3). The process will take a short bit as it analyzes your computer.
4). I would recommend only getting the game if the meter meets or passes the minimal requirements.
do that when i get home. although i already recommended the xb360 as a bday gift idea, so the order could've already been made
