We have to update the hardware ourselves? I was kinda expecting that Scorch would swing by and give me 9 plasma screens to set up in a 9x9 configuration.

And a cookie. Scorch should give me a cookie.

Netburnrol, you're a greedy griefer!

I said cookie not cookies. And there you go, not only demanding a plurality of cookies, but even presuming to dictate whcat kind of cookies they should be.

[netburnr]

Dude, Thin Mint Cookies are the ONLY cookie, everything else is just a lame poser.

I hate to do this but...

Thin Mint Cookies are the ONLY cookie

QFT. And it hurts me to agree with you :P

See, even the most hated of enemies can agree, Girl Scouts are yummy.

That's true too...but I thought we were talking about cookies?

[netburnr]

Caught that did ya?

[Hornet]

that would be awesome! I have yet to find a game I play that works on my soon-to-be 3 monitors(currently 2).

Hmmm, my motherboard can run 3 PCI-E GPUs all SLIed together. I could get three projectors and hook them all up and have three out of 4 walls of my house all in game.

Of coarse, then I'd have to take a 2nd mortgage on the house to pay for it, lol

[Hornet]

Yeah, but it would totally be worth it!! And then, you could make a lifsize cockpit to set in the center of the room. SCHWEEEEET. DO IT!!!

If in beta people are trying this and it sucks for some reason we'll take a look for sure.

3000x768 tells me they could see A LOT more in their peripheral vision than someone with a typical single widescreen monitor.

IF having multiple monitors gives players an unfair advantage then I'd say look into making sure it doesn't work. Or at least allow the additional monitors to not give an advantage. I won't play Jumpgate Evolution if I have to go spend hundreds of dollars on multiple monitors just to compete. You might as well make the game gear based and use dice rolls at that rate.
