  • The Ballad of Gay Toney made the most chances and I thought was the best of the three. I did like the Lost and the Damned Sons of Anarchy type story.

  • Could we see console prices subsidized by online fees (a la Xbox LIVE) in the same way cell phone prices are through data plans?

    Could Next-Gen Consoles Cost $99? - Xbox360 Feature at IGN

    Analysts say Microsoft's low-priced subscription offer for Xbox 360 could be a Trojan Horse for its Xbox 720 strategy.

    I would like to see them keep an upfront-cost model if it's cheaper. I have no problem making a large purchase, especially if it would be cheaper.

  • Not interested at all in a contract for a console.

  • On the one hand I don't like (a) paying more for a console or (b) being contracted for any period of time.

    On the other, I'll already be paying for XBL anyway, so I'm not sure if it would really put me out any money when you think about it.

  • So, with this whole Skyrim/ES Online stuff coming out... anyone think the fact that all of Tamriel has technically been included and built in Skyrim (just not accessible) has something to do with this? It'd take a lot of work out if they used the Skyrim engine AND if all of that had already been built.

    If you add it up you would be paying more with this contract.

    I'm sure a lot of stuff is being shared even if the same team isn't making it. Why reinvent the wheel if you don't have to. They will however have to turn down the graphics in order to accommodate for rendering X number of characters at a time.

    My point is I would be paying for Live anyway so I have to factor console cost plus XBL fee either way.

    Yes I realize that. What I am saying is that if you add what a 4GB Xbox costs plus 2 years of Live it is way cheaper than doing their subsription for 2 years.

    I just picked up Red Dead Redemption. What's the difference between that and the RDR Undead Nightmare game? Should I also get the Undead Nightmare game?

    Haven't played those... well I did play Red Dead, but none of the other ones.

    RDR Undead Nightmare has a completely different story mode, right? I don't want it if it has the same story as RDR, just with zombies.

    Yes I recommend taking your Red Dead Redemption back and getting the game of the year edition which comes with the original game and all of the dlc which has Undead Nightmare. Rockstar's dlc is better than most full games and well worth the money IMO.

    The only way I like this is if they make a console so good it cost $1000 and I do not have the money the money at the time to buy it. I would much prefer paying full cost and not having to worry about a monthly fee. I pay Xbox Live yearly and it cost $60 which is the same as one game and is well worth it IMO. I think if Sony had to do again they would do the same thing being that now PSN is starting to actually be really good. I just hope they make it optional without the monthly fees. The gaming industry is becoming very greedy and looking for every way to make you pay more.

    I've ran away from the threads that turned into trolling wars. Tell me something fun about video games.

    Will the GOT game be any good?

    I used to play RTC a little bit, but then I'd get bored and just make a rollarcoaster that would shoot people across the map.
