I wouldn't see why it wouldn't. Not a brand I've used myself, but with 3.0, the big thing to remember is that you'll only get what 2.0 can actually support. For example, if it's write / read speed was 32kb per sec and 2.0 could only support 16kb per sec, you would only get the 16kb regardless.

Note: I'm not sure what 2.0 actually can support off the top of my head. These are just random numbers.

well you bastards bought them all out before i pulled the trigger anyways. thanks guys :p

 
I'm still surprised at how well made CoJ: Gunslinger is. If you're a fan of shooters, I am highly recommending that you check it out while it's on sale.

For some reason I passed up the demo when it came out but I would've bought this at full price and been happy.

Would you say that even for fans of shooters who haven't touched a CoJ game before?

Definitely lol, I've never played a Call of Juarez game before, ha.

Only thing I've done is played the demo of the first game.

I would recommend playing the demo first but I was won over after playing the demo, and that doesn't happen often.

Side Note: I think Ubisoft has said they have plans of doing more games like this (Gunslinger and Blood Dragon) where it's almost equivalent to a full game

And I've played games that were sold at retail for 60 bucks that don't come anywhere close to being as good as Gunslinger and even Blood Dragon

I really hope the US government is not monitoring the XBL network. I full expect a raid by immigration services any minute now looking for the illegal aliens I'm harboring.

BTW, Arcania is a no go for me right now. On the bright side though, Injustice finally showed some life in my download queue.

Edit: Download is sloooooooow. 1% after 10 minutes.

Don't know if you've been keeping up with the news but EVERYTHING on the Internet is monitored. They record and keep (forever?) a record of everything ever written, every email ever sent, every phone call made, every skype call made, everything. They've broken all encryption. Nothing is "secure". That said, the agency doing this isn't the INS and I really don't think they give two shits about illegal aliens.

Also of interest, most software (including OS's) have backdoors built into them...

I think it's safe to assume that they can turn on the Kinect (when your Xbox 360 is turned on and the Kinect is attached) and watch your house through the camera whenever they want. That's why so many people were paranoid about the Xbox One Kinect "always on". It's the reason MS did another "180" on that feature as well.

I believe they can turn the Kinect on even when the Xbox is off and have a propeller come out of it. That way it can fly around the house and monitor everywhere in your house. It can also read your mind, do your laundry, and murder you in your sleep.

So based on the sarcasm, I'm assuming you don't think any of it's true?

 
I would like to thank everyone for your help.  My friend is very satisfied from his business trip to Oman.  He made a few good contacts and is currently giving me the download on what he found.  :whee:

I believe they have access to some things, but I do not believe they are using the Kinect as a tool to spy on people. At least on the 360, there is an option you can turn on to send some Kinect data to Microsoft. I do not believe they will be watching you if that option is turned off or you are not playing a game that uses a Kinect if you do have that option on.

I can walk over to a random house and stand there watching them through a window, but that doesn't mean that I am going to. Or I can go outside and stab somebody with a knife, but that doesn't mean I am going to. Just because they have the ability to do something, does not mean that they will.

EDIT: This is what the Kinect does when you are sleeping http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWmVrfjDCyw

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the situation as evidenced by your "looking into windows" analogy. What the leaks have pointed to is a recording of everything electronic. No one has the man power to watch every camera but the leaks show that they record everything and save that for possibly ever. I agree that the 360 isn't recording when off, it's not capable of that as it was not original designed to have the peripheral but it is probably doing so while the 360 is on and the kinect is attached.

While I'm not worried about the data as I feel comfortable that people are ethical and won't abuse the power, it's lunacy to think that people will be ethical for the rest of time.
 
Someone mentioned free Angry Birds Trilogy the other day. Which country was that and is it still free.

Also, Doodle Jump Kinect is a giveaway at that price! Fun! About to try Nicktoons MLB. Bring it arooouund toooownnnn!

But is there a way to copy the games from the pen drive to an external hard drive? Don't feel like stacking up several 32 Gb pen drives at home :/

It is possible to put your luggage in a bigger suitcase, but the amount of red tape is too much of a chore. You would need a specific brand of suitcase dedicated solely to that specific set of luggage. And the in-flight attendants watching you might suspect that your luggage isn't really yours and take you off the plane. At least, that's what my friend in Oman told me.

Apparently Oman has never been to the US and has no way of getting there due to the fact that President Microsoft has closed that border...

My friend said there wasn't any problem when he came here. He had a green card, and completed his citizenship tests pretty fast.

 
I don't know where to ask this but this seems like the place where people would know, will GTAV be available On Demand on release day?  I know release date availability isn't the norm but I have $300 in MS points so I would like to pick it up that way if possible. 

 
My friend from Oman had to take a flight in Austria. He suffered a great Injustice at the airport.

no one knows. I believe it will be their first "day one GoD" but many are doubters (also it will be a HUGE download).

just wait until tuesday....

Interesting because everytime I contact Oman, he merely messages me that his XBL service is not available from my region...therefore he and all of his companions (arcadia, injustice, etc) refuse to travel...

 
I've been thinking of a vacation, but can't decide between Oman and Austria. I'm looking to do missions work so God can be among us.
Should I go to Austria or Oman?

You should go to both, but you'll only need identification when travelling in Oman. Austrians only care about looks, which isn't enough to console them given their locale in the Alps. Do a Google search and find the achievements to see what I mean.

 
Picked up Alien Hominid and Battleblock Theater. I had so much fun with Battleblock Theater's demo that at $10, it was worth it. I haven't smiled this much since Plants vs. Zombies.

Is there any difference between the PS3 and 360 version's of Call of Juarez: Gunslinger? I'm leaning towards getting the PS3 version since I'm more comfortable with QTE's on the Playstation.

Congrats on 300k GS you beast of a gamer!

Going off topic and talking about XBL Deals (weird huh?): Are these deals available on console atm? I've been trying to grab Castle Crashers and also looking to grab Nicktoons MLB just because it's cheap and everybody on CAG has nothing but good things to say about it. Is the marketplace still in the funk it was in the recent past?

Can't believe you're going off topic... The supermarket is perfectly fine right now according to my hardware. No problems getting the groceries that I want. Also bought tickets to some battleblock theater event since I was in the neighborhood anyways... ;)

I'm one of the doubters. I don't understand why it would be the exception. But games seem to be hitting Games on Demand quicker and quicker so I think it will be on GoD within a month.

This is the kind of talk that is not allowed in the Free Content thread (explaining how to access content in other regions).

I don't necessarily agree with it, but we should probably refrain from it if we don't want a mod nuke like that thread continues to get.

 
Ya we should probably follow the free content thread rules here.  Saying what country and what content is free is fine but any talk about how to get that content from another country isn't allowed.  The whole "my friend" stuff isn't going to fly if a mod sees it.

 
Indeed, and if u want answers the free stuff thread will have more people talking about that instead of over here. It would be really annoying if this thread got nuked especially since tuesday is coming with new deals.
Come on anything I need!!

My guess is no, based on what i speaked with a gamestop clerk (but i admit i couldnt follow his logic, something about policies and certifications). He expected the game would be GoD near the 'release' of GTA Online, which will be 1st October. Anyway its an opinion as valid as another else. What it is a fact is GTA will be digitally available on playstation in a couple of days, since users can start pre-downloading the game on monday.

Btw, Tyler, you nailed it: WRC Powerslide is stupidly fun :whee:
