The other thing that people can't seem to understand about game development and DLC is Day 1 DLC. People always complain about that and it is always the same reason, "if they can release it on launch day they could have included it on the disc. They are just trying to take my money." While I won't argue that they do want your money getting a game ready for retail is a long process. Without knowing any concrete numbers I would imagine to get your game through QA and testing, get the discs pressed, get them shipped, and getting the game through certification from each of the major consoles takes at least 6 months. During that 6 months you really don't have time to add anything, you can just fix errors that come up. Sometimes, sure its stuff they took off the disc to sell for a few extra bucks or they planned to use it as a bonus for preoders, buying new and so on. I bet though that there are still a lot of cases where it was just something that happened because of the time crunch to release a new retail game.

Anyone fall prey to the ZOMG MY PS3 FORGOT THE DATE death yesterday?

Well yes, the way to fix it is to connect it to Xbox Live. Bingo bongo.

Red Dead Redemption = awesome

You are either thinking of its predecessor, Red Dead Revolver, or another western game called Gun but this game...if you like westerns, or cowboys in any way, you will love this game. If you like GTA 4 you will love this game. If you like both like myself, then this will be your favorite game of all time.

The only game I ever play these days is Football Manager 2010...so bored with my Xbox and Im too good at Fifa 10 to play it and not get bored.

AMAZING game. I do hope you got the complete edition with all the expansions. I'd also recommend hunting out the Whole World Mod, because well, there's no more Terra Incognito in the middle of South Africa, which has allowed my Incan Empire to expand to engulf the entire continent of South America up to the real-life Mexico/US border.

Also, Red Dead Redemption is a fucking gorgeous looking game, and running off the edge of a cliff with your horse is hilarious. As is killing a developer on XBL with a throwing knife!

When you say up to Heir to the Throne, do you mean including that? Make sure you patch it first from the launcher.

I'm a Paradox games fanboy, I have EU: Rome, Crusader Kings, EU2, EU3, Hearts of Iron 2, Hearts of Iron 3 (not really played it much though, it's kinda too indepth for my poor wee brain to cope with!) and Victoria, plus various expansions.

RDR is fun, though it was just a bit annoying when I accidentally stole someones horse because I forgot it was mine and suddenly I had a bounty on my head of $120 and only had $32 cash :(

In language arts/reading class we are making a video game with something called RPG maker 3, 4 and 6th period really
