First post updated with final box art. And some old news from Crytek:

Crytek: Next Gen Consoles Are Too Weak for Crysis

Speaking at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Bernd Diemer, senior game designer of Crytek, explained that next-generation consoles don’t offer enough computational power to run Crysis, German publication Heise reported.

Although Crysis will support both current and the next version of DirectX, Crytek claims that only DirectX 10 allows the game to run as it was intended by the developers because the next-generation DirectX API, which will ship along with Windows Vista, allows more effects and more objects to be drawn on the screen with a smaller computational cost for the hardware.

Diemer explained that “next generation consoles like the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 do not offer the sufficient power” to assure the quality of gameplay Crytek demand for Crysis.

Crytek reiterated at GC 06 that currently, Crysis in only in development for Windows. We haven’t lost hope that we’ll eventually see an Xbox 360 version of this first-person shooter.

$300 to cool my 360 while probably voiding the warrantee, I'd rather eat cheese!

It helps when you like cheese. $300 obviously well spent.

My 360 sits next to an open window. Keeps it acceptably cool and cost less than $300.

Makes me wonder if the next consoles will come pre-equipped with watercooling......You never know what to expect these days.

Yet you can't overclock a single hertz out of it.

You don't have to. The games for 360 will always be great and I'll know that I don't have to spend hundreds, if not thousands to upgrade for games in the future. Booya!

Now I'm gonna go eat a slab of Provolone!

I don't think cheese has much electrical quality at all really. I fail to see the benifit of overclocking it, thats for sure. I do like cheese though, its nice to have a nice evening sometimes with some fine wine, a box of crackers and some cheese.

Arsenio Hall got angry at a fancy wine and cheese party because the old guy didn't tell him how good the cheese was.
