The Register has news that Electronic Arts are looking at selling pre-configured PCs for their games. The PCs would be guaranteed to have the proper specifications to run a particular EA game (or set of games) properly at a specific resolution and level of detail, which would help to eliminate some of the confusion with system specifications and games with PC gaming as it currently stands.

This is probably a grab by EA at attracting more of the non-technical gamers who have been heading towards the console platforms (360, PS3 and Wii), where its guaranteed that if you buy a game it will work as intended on that platform (well, unless your 360 decides to RROD anyway).

Initial indications are that the PCs would be priced between $US600-$US800 depending on how pretty your want your game(s) to look, so you can guess this will be something only available in the US to begin with, but depending on its success it could makes its way to our shores as well.
