    ^ Unless there is content for it, it really doesn't matter. But given it's Apple, they'll line up all their product with Retina Display. So unless you are going to use mostly Apple products and softwares, IMO, it doesn't really make any sense getting on that resolution. A normal HD screen should suffice.
    ^ Hope this helped. :D

    You should add that they are running on the fastest ivy bridge processors with a turbo boost of 3.2Ghz, Nvidia geforce GT650,256GB SSD and 8 gigs RAM.

    If at all, the difference will be negligible according to me.
    I don't see the need for Retina display on Monitors/Laptops.
    But Retina display on phones does make sense.

    IMO the Retina display is the only talking point of MBP. I expect upcoming laptops to come with Ivy bridge processors as well, so nothing extraordinary.
    Yeah the card, and memory options are good as well.

    Well said. It's just the retina display.
    I wonder if all the games will run at the resolution ( No I don't know much about games or hardware)

    Nope but you can try.The 650 may just edge it at max resolution and everything set to low.
    A quote from the verge's review of the macbook pro(2012)
    But that isn’t all that matters with gaming performance. At full resolution and maxed out settings (shadows, physics, etc.), we jumped between 15 and 20 frames per second — just barely playable at most times, but on higher difficulties that’ll prove aggravating. If you want to keep all the settings on max, jumping down to 1680 x 1050 (same as standard MacBook Pro) gave us a consistent 30FPS and is still very playable. But let’s be honest, if you’re buying this laptop, you’re wanting to push the upper limit of resolution more than anything.

    As for the more slow-paced Civilization V, if you can read the small-but-very-legible text, playing max resolution is great. On the other end of the spectrum, the twitch-puzzle-shooter Portal 2 recommended a much smaller 1280 x 800 resolution for smooth 60FPS — but so long as we didn’t try to tweak the Advanced Video effects (which all but grinds the game to a halt), with 2880 x 1800 the game would still be consistently in the 50FPS range with only the occasional minor stutters. And Blizzard’s other tentpole series, StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty, clocks in at around 23FPS with full resolution and "extreme" settings — it drops during big battles, though. You can hit 60FPS by either dropping settings to "low" (keeping full resolution) or by dropping resolution to 1680 x 1050 (keeping "extreme" settings).
    As u can see the pro isn't meant for gaming(at max res) which includes BF3,Crysis 2,Witcher 2 and the upcoming AAA titles. What it will run though are the very high quality indie games/diablo III/Portal 2/RTSs. If you want a machine to game get a PC. If you need gaming with portability consider saving some money ;).

    Who in the right mind would get the new MBP for gaming!

    Anyway I won't even consider so called Gaming laptops when it comes to gaming! You want to game, then get yourself a desktop!
