Man, Red Dead II is probably the prettiest looking game I've ever played (or one of them, at least) but everything takes so goddamn long to do. I guess that's the point of it being set in 1899 when things were slower, but Jesus.

Also I kinda hate that bounty hunters can detect you riding on horseback and shoot you dead before you have the opportunity to take them out. On paper I guess that sounds like cool emergent gameplay, but in execution it sucks.

What was the original release date? I've got that one pre-ordered.

No, it got moved from October 22

Try downloading the multiplayer from the store, apart from signing up that's the only thing I did differently to you.

I believe I did, does it unlock anything yet? I think the download was only like 200mb but I think I downloaded it prior to the emails going out.

I didn't get an email for the first flight, but then after the fact I glanced at waypoint and had messages on there so they might just be slow

I think it's just a placeholder type thing so that it automatically downloads the actual multiplayer when you're eligible. It'll maybe just take them a few days.

Yeah, sounds like they are opening it up to everyone next weekend anyways. would only be able to play thursday of this week.

The Xbox expansion cards aren't normal SSDs. They're a custom CFexpress-based solution. Here's an article where someone was able to make a DIY version of the expansion card, though: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/modder-creates-diy-expansion-card-for-xbox-series-x-and-s

I don't think you can find a 1TB PCI Express 4.0 drive for $100, either.

You can use a $100 SSD and an enclosure to store games on. I have a 2TB SATA drive hooked up to my Series X. It works great for old-gen games and cold storage.

Yeah I have a 8TB ssd in a USB enclosure and its much faster than a spinning drive. Well worth it, IMO

There is no point in keeping the Halo beta test files around, right? I was going to delete them but then thought that maybe the normal game would use them when it launched instead of re-downloading everything but that is just something I made up in my head.

Safe to delete according to 343

Can't see it, the Halo Elite 2 comes out next week, and it doesn't have any changes aside from the color scheme. Maybe Phil will bless us with a Elite 3 with a share button.
