    Damn, 043 you're behind on everything gosh

    And jacobkosh totally has it right. Most of the time now, PC/console games are close enough in quality that it just depends on your preferred area of play/method of control

    Seriously, I read about people who have both versions of ME1 and are planning on getting both on ME2 and they're agonizing over which one to play and I'm just...I don't know. It's a really alien mindset to me, I guess.

    Has anybody seen the special Dragon Age armor in action? Is it awesome? The little card with the code on it makes it look awesome, but these things lie sometimes.

    Oh hey. That's nifty. I added these items to my "download queue." It said thank you for purchasing. Lets see if it actually stays with my Zune account as a permission or is revoked.

    Also totally not sure how this will be handled if I log into my cousin's 360 like I usually do and then get my own for my birthday.... Dunno if it will allow me to redownload all these goodies.

    I have to say its amazing how easy it is to romance someone in ME1. I really hope I don't unintentionally get choked and slammed to floor by SuZe. Or Core Flashed by Miranda.

    I mean I hardly talk to Ashley, but let her live. Bam we are about to kiss (my other run-in we actually did it, because I got to know her character). Unless I basically tell her "Fuck off"

    Well it just got posted in the ME2 thread on SA Games, and I figured "Maybe."

    When I do that, I just come post, in the hopes that
    A) I'm first
    and
    B) I actually get someone cool shit.

    When I'm not, I just write it off. I'm not even gonna delete the post. vshobon.gifv

    Could just be the data. You might still need a check in your EA account to use it.

    No reason not to download it though. Best case scenario. :)

    People with the game claim it works.... I should ask if they had to log into their EA account.

    You can bet the PC will look better and have a faster framerate as long as you have a decent rig.

    decent or awesome rig?

    Well I know it goes without saying the PC version will look better, I'm just wondering if the 360 version is bearable to the point that I ultimately choose it for controller+the free DLC.

    But after seeing the PC version in action AND maxed out, I doubt this. I can't turn away from 60 fps plus the super shiny textures on the suits.

    And I'm honestly surprise those links still work. The All Fronts goof was up for, what, 15 minutes?

    Eh, it's happened a couple times before. Every time no one who's gotten to download the stuff has actually suffered, except the one time where the GoW map-pack had the license disabled or something so you had to buy it legit.

    It would look cool if it didn't have that retarded fucking dragon in the middle

    I mean, the DA box art didn't suck bad enough? They had to plaster it on space-age armor?

    Got my Live ID crap sorted. DLC downloaded, except for the Blood Dragon Armor. I don't like the idea of wearing medieval-style armor in a futuristic setting. Besides, I have Dragon Age, so if I want the armor I'll punch in the code from it.

    The icons for the DLC show up if you look at it on your HDD. The headgear looks pretty nice.

    Downloaded them all in the hope they'll magically appear in my PC version just by existing on my 360's hard drive.

    Also that armor looks dumb, but from what I've seen without the DLC you never get to really change your armor so some variation is nice.

    I'll harass gamestop for a free code just in case.

    I don't remember, is that Incisor Rifle even offered typically on console? Only time I've seen it is in the digital deluxe stuff.

    some how i doubt that

    it's hard to hear about your competition when you ears are packed full of wads of $100 bills because there is absolutely nowhere else left in your facility to store them.

    Are you suggesting that ME2 will approach MW2 sales?

    Because uh

    That's very optimistic thinking
