Congrats on getting to this point- I hope someday I'll get to this level.

But to answer your question (coming from a college student): My first thought was to be able to pre-order these games, but you said that didn't work.

What about instead of selling the games, since your main idea is focused around the system requirements- you could do affiliate linking to the products users need.

Then they see exactly what they need, and appreciate + gladly go through your link to get their system to the playable level?

I'll be able to go to gamers-lab.com, find the game I am interested in, "Run this game", and if my computer dosen't meet the specs required I'll find the links easily I need to upgrade my rig. Sounds like a pretty slick service to me.

Thanks! This is a really good idea and shouldn't be to hard to implement. We'll look into it to see what it takes.
No problem!

Care to share any light how you achieved that amount of traffic?
