I know several people who are interested in trying SL but the major hurdle for them getting on board is a new video card. Seems a catch 22. Why get a new card for a game that may or may not be good? (We know it is, for them its a gamble).

New cards *can* cost a pretty penny. Since LL is working with nVidia, maybe you (read LL) should try and strike a deal with them (nVidia) where if you sign up for SL AND buy an new video card that there is some money back or rebate from one or both companies.

This is probably more to do with the card manufacturer than nVidia, but wouldn't it be cool if your New Video Card came with a cupon for a month of SL?
