[quote name='tenn_volsfan']Thought I would share this in case it helps anyone... I just got a lot more reservations about buying this disc vs buying the dlc bundle for $20 on XBLA or PSN.
This is from the comment section on a news article about the disc being released today at:
http://www.rockstargames.com/newswi...merica_for_xbox_360_and_playstation_3.article
a commenter asked the question: "Rockstar, are the people who buy the disc going to be able to play the original gang matches? (Armadillo, Las Hermanas, Chuparosa, Mcfarlanes ranch, tesora azul, etc."
and the Rockstar representative answered: "No, the competitive multiplayer modes for the original Red Dead Redemption game are not included on the Undead Nightmare disc"
Personally, this just gives me more concern about disc swapping and hassle. If, as people are saying this content can't be installed and then used with the regular RDR disc in the drive, then the way I understand it I would have to exit the game and switch discs anytime my friends who just bought the dlc packs from XBLA are wanting to move from an activity in the dlc to one of the regular multiplayer missions, etc, or vice-versa. I like the idea of owning the UN disc, but it seems like this is really only geared to those who don't and won't also own a regular RDR disc and a big hassle for those who do, doesn't it?[/QUOTE]
Excellent information and I probably would've been hesitant buying it if I read this before. I jumped and bought it from Buy.com but now I think I'll cancel and get it from Amazon since I have Prime and didn't realize the links were for 2 different sites not the 2 versions (360/PS3). My fault! I'm still buying it since I know that I can get some money back as opposed to if I bought the DLC on XBL.
