That's my guess too. The texture sizes are more important than the max resolution anyway, since the max resolution should be assumed to be whatever PC users hack it to be.

Yes, I'm not arguing that, I'm just talking about coding-wise. They've been cross-developing with the pc in mind from the start this time around. I don't see them needing an extra month and a half for the pc version. I don't know all that much about the process, but wouldn't they be rendering in house at the highest resolution and downscaling for the shitty consoles, rather than the other way around? Ok, now I'm not even making any sense to myself, but do you get what I mean?
anyone see this on any of the private torrent sites yet ???? dying to get a jump start.....playing DS1 isnt satiating my addiction anymore

Someone pointed out that "Black Armor" is spelled wrong in the display shot, on that Siliconera article. Unless they are actually selling a black love edition.
Also, just noticed, that "while supplies last" is from the consoles collector's edition and refers to the knight figurine. Seems pretty fishy.

Here's a vid from a guy who got to play the first few hours of the game at the Namco offices in London, contains some early spoilers but no gameplay footage. Just linking it here because the beginning contains exact starting stats for each class and the names of all the starting gifts.

Edit: Correction, the visuals of the video are the various starting classes and their stats, so if you don't want any spoilers, just turn off the sound.
Edit2: Ok, guess I'll just throw these starting stats into this post.

Can you justify buying an overpriced 360 game if you plan on getting the PC version a month later?

Finally some clear descriptions of the starting gifts.
Dark Souls 2 Wiki - Gifts
Kinda have to go for Petrified Something, since I find consumables to be a waste. The ring is still as useless as ever, but at least it's not a trap this time. The seed sounds like a cool way to troll dickhead invaders who like to run and stand by tough mobs to safely heal. If it has more than one use.
