From what my buddy told me, the "mom and pop" stores that used to break street dates all the time have been cracked down on hard in the last few months. The one he frequented was handed a $50,000 fine. Best Buy Union Square midnight release it is!

Well, only compared to how other sites issue scores I guess. 8/10 on Eurogamer is extremely good.

In fairness, I'd like to go on record and state that there are a few people out there who truly don't care about the console wars and are just interested in some sort of consensus being reached on what arguably is the better version to purchase.BobTheFork said:
But still, I largely agree with you.
quite a list of games that qualifies for you to get two for $40 trade in toward RDR
just called my local GS and they said it's still good! extended until June

Oh, cool! I didn't realize GS was doing this. I still haven't pre-ordered, so I may head down to my gamestop and do this. Thanks for the headsup.

Props to Eurogamer and fuck off to IGN, as expected.
Two questions. Well, one question, and one comment:
#1 - Anyone else considering never using the fast travel? If so, join with me
I'm normally the laziest bastard ever in videogames (fact: I would fast travel from one district to another in Oblivion's capital city) but with RDR... I think the whole point is that Marsten's adventure is a journey. Going from one city to another is SUPPOSED to feel like a trek.
Fast travel breaks the immersion.
For that matter, I intend on using the map as little as possible, too. I want to try and have landmarks guide me.
#2 - Does anyone know how the edge of the map is handled? I know the world doesn't loop, so I'm very curious.

nope, it's true. I know there are a few exception but read the last few pages. People have been demanding for comparisons but if they don't like the comparison they just call BS and wait for the next one. Even people who own both consoles have pretty much already decided (the version their friends have) and just want to hear that the version they are already buying is better. Oh about my comment, I don't want to get bitched at again: some guy posting here said he saw slight tearing when he did full camera spin, that was it.eznark said:
edit beaten already. holy shit man, you must really have a hair up your ass about this JY Someone said it and my comments again are about how it doesn't matter if he said it or if it's true, people will believe what they already wanted to believe. Try to calm down. I can do that to: Don't spread the FUD, the main difference listed was that they are the same

So do we have conformation on the res of the PS3 version now then?, I've just read through the last 10 odd pages and can see any?

If you're familiar with the downtown Brooklyn area, specifically Nevins St. And Flatbush Ave, they have the game now. Just got a phone call from them, but I'm just gonna for my Gamestop midnight release.

+1 i love getting into this sort of mindset, but its rare to find a game that actually warrents this sort of commitment...RDR is deffinately one
As there are exceptions you should not have bolded nobody. So there.BobTheFork said:
And don't wait for the backlash. Get the game ASAP so that you can be part of the first backlash wave, as I was for GTAIV. It was glorious. Much, much better than that shitty game, anyway!
Do any of the reviews talk about saving during missions or checkpoints? God I hope they exist.

ok np just wondered that's all, I'll probably go the for the PS3 version anyway, I didn't think that GTAIV was to bad on the PS3 anyway and I'm guessing RDR will be an improvement on that.

I tried my damnedest to do it in Fallout 3 as well. But that was hard sometimes!

Comparisons are not always about system wars, I think sometimes people misconstrued them, I believe that there are people on here like myself that genuinely would like to know what are the technical pro and cons of each version to help them decide which platform to get the game on.

Yeah. It's unfortunate when it becomes impossible to have a dispassionate discussion. Given the differences in hardware architecture, it's unlikely that they will literally be 100% identical. Mind you, I probably won't notice a difference regardless of which version I get, but it's still worth some analysis in my book to examine which version people would rather get all other things equal (and I don't care about online, nor do I care about Gamerscore or trophies).lowrider007 said:

You traded in BC2? Noooooooooo.
I am going with GOW3 and SuperSF4 (suck at it and need to invest too much time and an arcade stick for me to be effective).
Canada gaf.
Trade 2 Get RDR Free, also get a free blu ray copy of The Good The Bad and The Ugly at Futureshop.

Wasn't me re: inability to play minigames online. Haven't played online.
There's some kind of lighting fuckup which I've only noticed on the 360. When dealing with cramped interiors or even areas with a lot of cliffs and other things that obscure light, it's like the game has to recalculate the light every time you move in and out of the shade, which ends up with a distracting full screen darkening/lightening effect. No big deal, just thought I'd mention it.
There is no screen-tearing to be had in either version, at least, none that I've seen in 10 hours of play.

Even if people really want to have the technical discussion and care about the better version in a non-jackass way, who do you believe? We've heard it every way possible now, including many contradictions. IT feels like even the people who aren't fanboys just sort of gravitate towards what they already thought the result would be and convince themselves of anything.Steve Youngblood said:
