Scooby,

just buy a PS3 just so you can stream Netflix. (unless you have another streaming device?)

Worth it for that plus a blu-ray player.

Both the 360 and Wii have the capability to stream Netflix.

I'm somewhat concerned about comcast's limit on data on a monthly basis. According to their new policy you can't exceed a certain maximum (and I can't quite remember what the figure is). I mean, a DVD quality movie is something like 4-8 GB. If I stream three movies a week, that's 48-96 GB.

Anyone here run into any problems with comcast and streaming on netflix?

Red Dead Redemption installing now. What have I done?

ETA: Just shot some random dude and he did a Wilhelm scream :D

It works better on the 360 though and you don't need a disc to run it on there, just plug in your account and go. The Blu Ray player should be the deciding factor though since the games all come out for the same systems now anyways.

You've done yourself a solid.

I actually prefer netflix on the ps3. I've had better luck with it performance wise, too. The 360 periodically hiccups and pauses to adjust video quality - the ps3 seems to just do that on the fly without interrupting playback.

I'm finally in Mexico with RDR. Too bad John is such an upstanding husband, because there are a lot of hot ladies south of the border. ;) :D
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Red Dead Redemption and a mini keg of Newcastle. I be ready for the weekend or at least tonight and some of tomorrow.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

I hate any mission that requires me to drive a stagecoach/wagon. They are nearly uncontrollable and the horses will instantly stop if you go 2 steps off a path. :mad:
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Is it a bad thing that I don't give a flying fark about the story missions and just want to run around hunting wolves and deer?

Totally makes sense, but you can get better guns later on.

There, now you've got motivation.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

I made treasure hunter level 8. I think after 5 of them stagecoach taxi's are free. That is the win!

I can't get the last couple treasure until I open up the Blackwater area.

Even if guns don't motivate you. You need to do enough story to open up 2 more sections of the map. Mexico first and then the Blackwater area after that.

Then you can hunt Bobcats, Bears, Buffalo, etc. :D

At this rate it'll be free in two weeks. :p

I am terrible at finding treasure. I'm still looking for the treasure on the second map.
