I pre-ordered it on steam the day it became available. Been looking forward to this game for a long time. Friend of mine got it on the xbox and he is loving it. Can't wait to play it co-op. They enabled pre-loading on steam, but it says the servers are too busy atm.

Just FYI, The requirements listed on Steam are just approximations (not official).

Though someone did find in a magazine called Atomic MPC that "They said the game was running maxed on a laptop with a 2.16ghz dual core processor and a 9800GTX. and at 1920 x 1080 HD!!" So who knows. No official word on reqs.

Also, in case people aren't aware, when you beat this game, it unlocks Game+ where you are able to play through it again to reach max lvl of 50. But the enemies get tougher, more of them, and better loot. Of course, when you play co-op there's a Crapload of enemies, tougher, and even better loot still. So the difficulty can definitely ramp up a lot.
