RIPPA Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 As pointed out by stout in the GTA thread - RDR will be backwards compatible on the XBOX One starting Friday. (I am not sure how it works on the PS systems - you folks can let us know if has been already). I am assuming that if you have either the original or the game of the year version it will work but who knows. Used copies run as cheap as 4.99 on Amazon but those are sketchy sketchy people. More "trusted" folks seem to be selling it for $14.99 New is $19.99 and the GOTY version is $24.99 new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I knew I held on to my old copy for a reason. Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact they were selling them for under $10 as of a couple of weeks ago. Of course - as I said - they already jacked the price up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Do you need Xbox Live Gold for this or do you just put the old disc in and bob's your uncle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - just put the disc in. It will need to connect to download some basic files but it basically runs like you are running an emulator (you do need to keep the disc in while playing) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Microsoft is selling the base game for 7.49 if you are a Gold member $10.49 if not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJay Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Just bought it. Cannot wait for Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I bought this for the PS3 3 or years ago, but have still yet to really play it beyond the intro, not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Does that include the multiplayer and, if so, is the multiplayer actually any good? Running around with the GTA crew even just hunting game in Red Dead sounds like about the best time ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Yes - it includes multiplayer As per usual - you have to have Gold to play multiplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Holy shit I used to love RDR multiplayer (when it worked) deathmatches and how you got a new skin every time. MINERS versus WALTON'S GANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Bought. Paid $10 for the disk. Probably would've downloaded it if I'd known about it. Never played the multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Yup - went to Gamestop and their cheapest used copy was $14 So figuring enough people start playing it - I will just but it directly from Microsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I presume even with this you cant do multiplayer between 360 and Xbone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hope so. Wouldn't see why not. Then again, wouldn't see why, either. Funny how this stuff works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert C Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 So buying from Microsoft = the xbox game store? Tried to find it there a few minutes ago, and didn't see anything. Maybe it doesn't show up till the official date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Red-Dead-Redemption/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8025454082b Just look for the game (you technically could spend more for the GOTY edition) And they are advertising it on the main page of xbox.com so clearly you can get it now so it's ready to download for Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJay Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Anyone know what time on Friday it becomes playable? Hoping tonight at midnight but most likely it will be sometime tomorrow whenever MS feels like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks Rippa. Just realized I gotta go change the settings on my router, or I'm gonna be just as screwed for Read Dead as I am now for GTA. Add to that I have to get my first ever smart phone this afternoon. And I've gotta get the phone to work with my truck. And my wife's car. And the wireless network. And the damn smart TV we bought two weeks ago to replace the old CRT in our living room, that I still don't know how to work. I should film this shit and produce my own web series.

Dolfan in NYC Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Wondering if I should go to the effort of looking for that disc or just paying the $7.50 to just buy it again. ::thought emoji:: Either way, I'm in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
