I have the previous generation MSI and it is great. Had to wipe the crap windows install with horrible MSI software and install a fresh copy, but I do that with all pre-loaded OS's anyways. Mine has no eject button on the Bluray drive, and because I won't install the MSI software, I can't use the soft-key eject button either, so I have to eject through windows explorer until I find another way... Hopefully they heard our complaints and fixed it on the new model. Highly recommended if your only choice is a laptop for gaming.
All in all, you're better off spending the cash on a desktop.
