I think there's some merit in your "3rd Boob Theory" I was going to go for Ultimate, then Stefan9 made me doubt my decision, now you've swayed me back to Ultimate. What a sheep I am

Lemme tell you this. Your at the traffic lights in your brand new Audi A3 2.0T....you're happy with it because it's what you needed and you saved (ahem....quote) R700. Next to you stops a guy in his brand new Audi A3 2.0T....but he's got a girlfriend with a 3rd boob because he did NOT save R700. Who do you think is going to have more fun???

really looking forward to this, the retail seems extremely low, especially compared to vista pricing...

The guy who knows he is never going to need bitdefender or need to connect to domains will be happy that he saved that R700. He now has that extra money that he can spend on more games or put it towards saving for a new faster gpu.

OK, so can anyone actually give an argument for getting Ultimate, preferably one that does not include boobs or cars

I am also still deciding.

I will really just use my home PC for gaming and general stuff.

Wow, what a fascinating thread this has turned into

[daBoss]

prices dont look bad i think

[Cyrus]

Really worth the money. Trust me!!
