    How often do you use OSX vs. Windows?

    overheating shouldn't be a problem. well at least not for me.

    Btw. is there any games out there that support the new retina display resolution?

    Just google "macbook retina overheating".
    It's slightly frustrating that most reviews, for whatever reasons, are quiet regarding this aspect - for many people it is very important. (mbp is positioned as high-performance laptop, but whenever you try to use this performance, it doesn't operate in normal conditions)
    (to be fair, other laptops out there often suffer from this problem too)

    It will take quite a while before graphic cards will handle today's 3d games on retina native resolution, but people successfully ran starcraft 2 and diablo 3 after playing around with settings.
