Lol at the argument going on in here. Microsoft have made a much loved, much requested game available to play again and are accused of milking gamers. Get a grip.

Is it Xbox One Backwards Compatible? :smirk:

There is some positive from all this. I was looking for my Red Dead Redemption game yesterday and found my spare car key that's been missing for ages.

I still haven't found RDR though :disappointed:

To be honest, you can probably buy this version as well as a PS3 to play it on for less than it costs to buy an Xbox 360 copy of the game today. :smiley:

Is it Xbox One Backwards Compatible? :smirk:

its been this price for months! so i cant really see its a deal unless you are just posting to compare to silly price its going on the xbox one now

i think if rockstar had remastered this it would of been a money printing machine for them, with increase in sales of 6000% for the xbox 360 version

:wink:

Thanks for posting just what i need for my PS4

I guarantee people that own a PS3 are buying a copy of this on Xbox for silly money just so they can play it on Xbox one.

I'm all for backward compatibility and it should be standard but the way Xbox is doing it is another way to milk gamers.

Heated this is a lot of game for the money can't go wrong :smiley:

I still remember paying £7.99 or so for a used copy at GameStation and I don't regret it! Amazing game this is wherever you play.. well, you can only really play it on Xbox or PlayStation.

PC gamers still can't experience this masterpiece sadly.

I have been on many quests to find an old game in my collection over the years. I suspect I spend as much time looking for games as I do playing them.

You'll find and then not playing it and just add it to the "play later" pile

All this RDR talk has made me remember how much I wanna play Red Dead Revolver and I've still yet to.

I can always find mine but I suspect I spend far too long organising them instead of playing them

Why is everything a console war.

I'm niether a Sony or a Microsoft fan boy.

I agree with you on that, its the retailers increasing the prices of used copy's not Microsoft, or R* Microsoft do not make money from used copies

Anyone know if the game edition works on backwards compatible

Anyone know if the game edition works on backwards compatible

For Xbox 360/Xbox One compatibility, yes, a GOTY copy will work.

I wasn't attacking you, just saying that Sony charges gamers if they want to play a classic on PS4 whereas Microsoft's trying to port classics over to XO.

If Red Dead Revolver was also BC with XO then the price would increase too.

yes all versions work, the base game,GOTY and undead nightmare are all BC

Of course it would, its like most BC games the price increases when announced

exactly Microsoft are not milking people as they said, have they increased the price of it digitally NO its retailers that have increased the price.(Microsoft won't see any of that money)

if anyone is milking people its Sony with PlayStation Now

They are not selling this online on their store then?

They are doing better than sony 100% agree but they are still making money off these re-releases and the drip feed, do it way way after releasing the Xbox in a little cynical.. (or I am) as I believe they held off to maximise the market for those that would buy online from adding this feature and not launching with it, many would have traded in games they would have kept if they knew the new console was backward compatible.

For me both consoles should have launched with some form of backward capability even if it was only to be able to play digital purchases you own.

They fact sony are now launching games and not allowing you to play them if you already owned the digital version before is a disgrace.

as i said in other post it is being sold in the store BUT its not gone up in price has it(its even on sale at the moment) if they had upped the price i could understand the comment about milking it

Ok, Microsoft are doing backward capability because they love the fans and its not making them any money at all. This is 100% the best way they could have done it and they deserve no criticism...

Apologies for insulting their obviously charitable ways :smiley:

i never said that of course they are doing to get extra money ie. getting people to buy the Xbox one, Nintendo,Microsoft and Sony are all just as greedy as each other. its the same reason Sony gave free games away with plus last gen to sell the ps3 and make money. all people are trying to tell you its not just Microsoft that are milking customers. i can't see them making much of game sales of BC games as most people will buy a physical version and they won't see any cash from that

It was a hell of a bonus that the press release went out the same week as it being on sale, from a business point of view rockstar & microsoft should of really held it back till the sale finished as people would of rushed to buy it even at full price.

No but my comment wasn't made with some misguided loyalty to a brand that doesn't care about me. I dislike the practises of all of them. I believe they are milking customers with this practise and the way they are doing it.

It's still much better than no backward capability at all though.

Lesser of two evils

Again the word sale is very subjective here...

7.99 isn't really a sale price for such an old game and especially an old game that a week ago was pick upable for £2.99 for a hard copy....

I suspect the sale is VERY well timed

​Can't see it being planned, if the Microsoft sales department had any wiff of this news coming there's no way the discount would be anywhere as high as 75%.

Will this work on my Wii? Or does it only work on PlayStation 2?

Console gamers seem to enjoy getting screwed though. Just look at the new Skyrim and Bioshock remasters, free on PC, cash-money for console gamers!

No way should a old old old 360 game that had 1000s of physical copies everywhere have a RRP that high!

Come on... Do you really believe 7.99 is 25% of the right price or the price people would pay??

like I say... sales are no longer sales... its a term used to make people feel better about buying stuff.

More people will have bought this because its in a sale... than if the price just said £7.99....

You don't need to take my word for it, 1000s of studies have been done that prove this.

Really wish I could have this on ps4. I upgraded for a reason but this game would still grace the ps4 as it was just so good.

Sweet heat added can't wait to stick this in my xbone....

I shoved the Xbox 360 disc into a Master System and look what happened:

Lol at the argument going on in here. Microsoft have made a much loved, much requested game available to play again and are accused of milking gamers. Get a grip.

OP trolling PS fans.

Ok we get it, you don't like the fact BC is available for some games, nobody is forcing you to buy it at the sale price which you dispute, many gamers are very happy with the news this will be playable on xbox one and you have made your point, now lets just talk about the deal here which is ps3 version for £3.99

I'm not trolling anyone.

I'm just pointing out that PS3 owners can pay £3.99 to play this great game at the moment.

Which seems like a good deal compared to all the alternatives.

I'm just kidding mate. Ease up :wink:.

This is on game's 3 for 2 offer on preowned games...bought this, split/second velocity and uncharted 2

To be honest, there is no better western game (Desperados & Sunset Riders are awesome but no contest for RDR) than Red Dead Redemption and even "Red Dead Redemption 2" probably won't outlive its predecessor. It's so good!

Sony in this generation seems more fixated with "how many PS4s can we sell?" over making exclusives and awesome games like it was back then on the PS3 days. It's a shame that Rockstar hasn't released an HD Remaster of RDR and while I'm against this practice because it's a last-gen I'd make an exception because it's the best western game out there. :smiley:

Joan, this isn't jut any game. This is Red Dead Redemption - simply the best western game out there. :wink:

that was basically Microsoft last gen. we always see better exclusives etc from the the company thats behind this gen. ok nintendo is behind Microsoft but thats Nintendo great games but truly bizarre business decisions

Best game I've ever played. Such a shame the multiplayer screwed up, otherwise I'd still be playing it now :disappointed:

Frame rate on this isn't as good as the 360. I picked this up on a PSN digital sale and got rid of my XBOX 360 disc copy - just bought it again digitally for the 360 so I can play on the XB One as the initial leaked tests looked promising on the frame rate.

Apparently it's fairly straight forward to convert an XBOX 360 save into a PS3 compatible one so might give that a bash at some point too.

It's not just the framerate, the PS3 version is inferior on multiple levels including a lower resolution.

Stick to the Xbox 360 version if you have the choice!

Didn't know that. I just never experienced any issues while playing it but that's probably because I've gotten used to it.

Downloading it now. I never got the chance to play it the first time round - maybe I was heavily into another game at the time or maybe just working a lot. There's definitely something better about playing 360 games on the Xbox One. I'm wondering if they run slightly smoother on the Xbox One. Having co-op fun on Rainbow Six Vegas 2 at the moment. The only games for this generation of consoles that I've really enjoyed are F1 2015 due to it's pick up and play nature and Until Dawn on the PS4 because I enjoyed the tension and the story. Backwards Compatibility is excellent and I bought RDR from the store for £6.24, for which I don't consider being "milked" because I know it's a far better game than most current gen games that have been brought out over the past 2 years.

​Hopefully it will be smoother. When they 'accidentaly' released it a few months ago I managed to download it and play it for a couple of hours it didn't run very well. Hopefully they have polished it up since then.

Bargain. Have some heat OP.
Cheapest this game can be played at the moment.

played it through twice because its such a good game, heat

​Is that the remastered Sunset Riders? 'now in 3d...

Anyone care to explain how this is one of the hottest gaming deals?

Sony could easily do backwards compatibility on PS4 but the problem is they've invested too much into PS Now. Shame really, a few PS3 games I need to catch up on but really don't want to set my ps3 back up, or pay for the privilege of playing games I already own.

I would love to play this again but my PS3 magically stopped working when I bought a PS4.

Indeed, £3.99 for a second hand copy of a 6 year old game seems about right to me, if not a bit over priced.

There seems to be some massive playstation versus xbox debate going on, so maybe people are voting hot because they're in a certain camp, certainly nothing hot about the deal surely....

Let me know where you can play this game cheaper and I'll agree with you.

I agree, it beggars belief really, but also proves a point. Most of the games that have been released since this current generation of consoles have been in existence have been poor. Lots of remasters (just in case anybody hadn't noticed those) and way too many open world games. I have ordered the Bioshock Collection just for Bioshock 1 and 2 because although they are basically linear games, you can go off and do a little wander too. I will also buy (again) Resident Evil 4 when it is released. Again a linear game as such but you can do a little wandering. Resi 4 and Bioshock 1 being my favourite games of all time.

The whole "fever" surrounding Red Dead Redemption ... will it/won't it come out, and now that it's available on BC everyone seems to be going crazy about it. I think that is enough evidence that maybe people are finding this current console generation of games are lacking in ideas and innovation.

I doubt it, due to the PS3's obtuse CPU, emulation on the PS4 would be difficult to say the least.
