Hitman:Blood Money vs The entire Hitman Collection [Blood Money, Silent Assassin, Codename 47]
Hmmm.......

For example, the game would work fine, but when I hit the PS button to bring up the XMB menu, the screen would go back until I'd hit the PS button to get out of that screen. It also happens on Hotline Miami. The game loads fine, but when the game actually starts, it goes to a black screen. I can still hear the game playing and the monitor is still on, but it's black. It works again when I press start and go into the menu. For the record, I'm using HDMI and I have tried different cables.

Sounds like a HDCP handshaking issue. I had issues like that with one of my TV's when going through my HTR. Never managed a way around it, however, as I just ended up replacing the TV.

All this talk about laptops is making me realize just how bad my laptop is. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1545 which is pretty bad for playing most games. I seriously need to upgrade to a better laptop/desktop.

I have Blood Money, I wish that buying the collection would leave a gift copy in my inventory. I guess Tony is the only one that can make it happen

Those Lenovo Ideapad deals I keep seeing crop up are making me want one, even though my refurb Asus is going strong.

I shouldn't buy this stuff, should I? Wouldn't these keys, like, get me banned or something? I sure would like some of the English language games...

Doesn't look like it'll let me buy from them anyway. It knows I'm not in the right region. :P

Which of those are Steamworks anyway? If any of them.

Holy monkey-butts! One euro for Bad Rats!

as a huge hitman fan,
i would say just get blood money
its better than the older ones in every way
its a shame they don't have contracts
that one is good too
i've never played the original though if it is somehow better than 2

Oh, lol, somehow I thought these were Steam games in German or something.

Unstoppable Gorg is supposed to be, but I bought it and there doesn't appear to be any key associated with it. It's just a straight up download.

Is your refurb Asus a ROG?

Does anyone recommend any password managing software or methods? The talk in the Amazon thread freaked me out a bit. I saw a mac with a neat looking lockbox style interface, but I'm on a PC and function first of course.

I have an Asus Rog. It's about a year old, but I would recommend it.

Another issue could be a setting on the monitor. I have 2 VE247H's and when I first got my first one I noticed that whenever a black background would come up as my default background during rotations of the backgrounds, the whole screen would shutoff. I think this is due to some auto-brightness/contrast/etc detection in the monitor and it thought it had just lost a signal since there was so much black on the screen.

I dont remember exactly what setting it was though

I only learned recently that if you own any version of The Witcher or The Witcher 2 (on steam, other digital sites or retail) you can use the key that came with it to redeem a free copy of that game on GOG.

I used the CD key from my steam copy of The Witcher to add it to my GOG account. Maybe I'm the only one that didn't know about this, but if anyone needs it, the page is here:

Password management? Oh, you mean a pen and paper.

Personally I use KeePass. It's doesn't have the automatic password entering features of some of the commercial programs, but it's free, open source and does everything I need it to do.
