ATI graphics cards
shouldn't there be a part in about the fact that an ati graphics card that is more than 18 months old will not run this game? what a joke... 86.135.48.96 21:04, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It's in the requirements: x1300 and up. Only SM3 cards are supported. — Mütze 13:07, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Name
The name has been put to its proper name. I'm sure you'll protest! But please have a discussion about it if you do, right here. --Jiei 19:44, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Make up your mind.
This article have been having different name. Would you people just give it has a single name and leave it alone?. I prefer it calling Colin McRae: DiRT --SkyWalker 19:46, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The game's official name IS colin mcrae: dirt, but it was renamed in north america. The game is british, the name is british. Look at northern lights/harry potter & the philosopher's stone. I do like the idea of having both box art in the info thing, though. --77.107.200.70 22:24, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

September 11?
I saw the PS3 cover box art of DiRT and it came out early. It released the same date as the Xbox 360 and the PC in Puerto Rico. Also, one more thing, will it feature manual transmission? I mean, a good game must feature manual transmission. Professional Gamer 17:37, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I played the demo. In the profile settings menu you can choose manual or auto, metric or imperial system, etc. LF2 16:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Also, I noticed that there was a Citroen C4 Rally car instead of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX. I think both are different. The Citroen was only for the Ps3 and the lancer Evo IX was only for the Xbox 360. Professional Gamer 19:45, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Positive reviews (Question)
So, the reason why DiRT received largely positive reviews because not only that it was a great game, but also because of Colin McRae's deatth? Professional Gamer (talk) 15:35, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It was only the PS3 version that came out at the same time as McRae died. The PC and Xbox versions got great reviews months beforehand. - X201 (talk) 16:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * And I also wanted to say: R.I.P. Colin and Johnny McRae from Wikipedia :(. Professional Gamer (talk) 16:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the proposal was No consensus to move page, per discussion below. -GTBacchus(talk) 09:33, 4 February 2008 (UTC) I think this article should be moved to Colin McRae: DiRT, because that seems to be the official name, one way or the other. We all have different opinions, though, so let's here what you've gotta say about the move. Manual of Style (trademarks) clearly states the use of that kind of trade marks e.g. use eBay not EBay, and iPod not IPod. --EclipseSSD (talk) 15:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You seem to have misread that portion that cites those as examples. Trademarks beginning with a one-letter lowercase prefix pronounced as a separate letter do not need to be capitalized if the second letter is capitalized, but should otherwise follow normal capitalization rules:. This would apply if the trademark was dIrt and pronounced dee-Irt. Narson (talk) 16:16, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose. See Manual of Style (trademarks). Whydontyoucallme dantheman (talk) 22:27, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose As above. We don't use random capitalisation because some 30 year old marketting guy thinks it is 'street'. Narson (talk) 09:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per trademark capitalization. --M ASEM 12:59, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose As per all said above. Before long we'd end up with article names like We ♥ Katamari - X201 (talk) 16:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:MOSTRADE EJF (talk) 18:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose for the reason I got it moved in the first place, the proposed name violates WP:MOSTM.  TJ   Spyke   07:09, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
