Well, that really fucking blows for those of us that are trying to boost the Poker Face trophy.

Do you have to sit down with the full $200? So either you leave with $0 or $1200 in a boosting session?

Also, check out the comments on the achievement solution: http://www.trueachievements.com/view...tid=200690#vch

It sounds like you can just have two people stay at the table, as long as one of them is the host.

Just play at McFarlane's Ranch. Buy in is only 10 bucks. Everybody should easily be able to get the trophy without blowing the $200. Even if you have 6 players boosting (and you can do it with as few as 4 as long as you let some randoms in to fill the table and then kick them after the game starts) you shouldn't have to spend any more than $60

Well, you have to do it with full blinds meaning at even the low tables some people will lose out that need the trophy and not be able to play again until the next day. This sucks for a group of 4-5 (like us) that are trying to get this piece of shit trophy for everyone in one go.

It only takes 1 game to get the trophy. The maximum you can lose in any one game is the buy in amount. There's no way to buy back in once you're out. So you spend 10 bucks, and you get I think 100 or 200 chips. The blind at McFarlane's Ranch starts at 2. You have to wait for it to double five times, which means you wait for it to get to 64. If everyone folds right away on every hand until the blinds reach max, everyone can easily get to the end with enough to play (the person who posts the big blind will win every time, and that rotates around the table, so scores should stay pretty even). Then one person wins, he gets some money and the trophy, and everybody else is only out 10 bucks. Wash rinse repeat. Trust me, this can easily be done for everyone in the group in one sitting, even if we had a full table of trophy boosters.

I don't know about this...it looks decent but every trailer has only been 40 seconds or a tad more. Of course I'm going to buy it as I am a Rockstar junkie - I just hope it doesn't bore.

Sony Admits "Incomplete" Red Dead Redemption DLC Released

Well, isn't this just a little bit awkward: Sony today has admitted that, somehow, an "incomplete" version of the Red Dead Redemption Hunting and Trading DLC was released on the PlayStation Store, causing a number of bugs for players who downloaded the pack.

As explained on the PlayStation Blog, Sony has since replaced the broken DLC with the properly working version, which should total 59MB in size, while the improper version is only 15MB. The major problem is that the incomplete version causes a player's "Days Passed" stat to reset to -2, which is causing a host of other bugs in-game.

Re: Dead Thread Redemption: Red Dead Redemption, The Thread: Part II

wow I've experienced a huge amount of "bitchassness" today I was kicked for having the most kills :/ I'm not sure but I would say I was around 25-2, and then kicked from a poker game because I was waiting for a full table. Lot of pussies online in this game.

Re: Dead Thread Redemption: Red Dead Redemption, The Thread: Part II

12 new achievements worth 200g are up on Xbox.com. Mostly secret which makes sense since they're story-related. Here's a quick look over from TA: http://www.trueachievements.com/dlc.aspx?dlcid=355

Gotcha. I thought they were coming out at the same time, but it makes sense that they'd want to make $$$ on the standalone dlc before offering the complete package. Wishful thinking I guess.

that is awesome that they made it very similar to the Vincent Price's monologue from Michael Jackson's Thriller.

You do realize "compilation" means "more than one", right?

This $30 compilation is 3 $10 packs.

$10 + $10 + $10 = $30.

yes, i know what a compilation is.
dino was asking the difference between the aforementioned retail package which is $30 and includes the 3 DLCs together and comes out in Dec. and the standalone "Undead" dlc which is $9.99 and comes out 10/26. he did not realize there were 2 separate releases with different content.
