The only real difference between RE5 and Gold, is Gold has all the DLC you can get online included, for instance the four new Chris and Sheva costumes (Warrior and Heavy Metal for Chris, Fairy Tale and Business for Sheva), Lost In Nightmares, Desperate Escape, and The Mercenaries Reunion, with the previously mentioned Chris and Sheva costumes, along with Josh, Excella, Rebecca, and Barry.

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to just go and but the gold edition instead of downloading every single DLC.

No, it would be cheaper to just download all of the stuff. I went and bought Gold, for about 45 bucks...if I remember, almost 50, and all it does is give you the exact same disc, a badass case, and a token to download all of the stuff anyway...kind of lame, but I wanted the case. Smile

Exactly why I bought it.... I had already downloaded the DLC off of XboX LIVE, but I have Ohh shiny shit syndrome so I had to have the case.

I have to admit, the Gold case just looks really, really, really awesome. The pic of Chris and Jill on the cover really takes the number one spot for me, a position that the Outbreak covers had previously occupied. Smile

I have mentioned this on here before, but for some reason, not all of the DLC stuff is working for me. I can't do Mercs Reunion at all. I can play both LIN and DE, I was able to play versus when I had my 30 day free Gold membership, and I can look at the figures, except for the ones that I unlocked in LIN and DE. The ones that don't work, whenever I try to play them, it just has a notice pop up saying that the disc is unreadable...which is bologna, as it's in perfect condition, plus I had my original RE5 copy to try as well, so it's not the disc, it's the 360. I had also tried using my hard drive on a friend's xbox, but the DLC, where it would say, "Extra Content", was no where to be seen....??? What the ef'.

Anyway, did you have any problems Bob? I'm probably going to end up downloading the stuff that I need again, probably individually, as it isn't going to be too much money...just the Mercs junk and....well that's about it actually, as that should allow me to see the figurines as well, theoretically.

Sorry it took me so long to respond to this, I just now noticed it.

Here is what happened to me.... I downloaded the untold stories bundle and the extra figures download, however it would not let me play Merc reunion, like you, it would tell me disc was unreadable. Upon reading the download information it says that the Merc Reunion data is divided between the LIN and DE packages but I figured it should have worked seeing as I downloaded the bundle, not each indiviual story. Well.... I go buy a copy of RE5GE and use my redemption card for the Gold Content and still no luck.... I went back and deleted my Untold Stories bundle and Gold Content and then reinstalled the Gold Content and everything worked perfectly after that. SO don't worry it isnt your 360 it is the DLC. My advice would be to delete any previous downloads (extra costumes, versus, etc...) and make sure only Gold Content is installed( seeing as versus, costume packs and everything is included anyway), that is what made it work for me. Hope this helps.

That actually kind of gives me hope.

I had only downloaded the stuff that I got when I bought Gold though, not anything individually before hand. I will probably try deleted the stuff downloaded, then redownloading(if that is even an option, I thought it would only allow me to download the stuff once, then never again).

Thanks though, that is definately more helpful than previous help, which was none. Smile

I'll post back up here whenever I make some progress.

Everything I have ever paid for on live I have deleted and reinstalled... The map packs on COD WaW being an example sometimes they get screwy on me and I will delete them and re download them. I am not sure about redemption cards tho so you may wanna not do that till you find out for sure. I just did some research and the biggest problem seems to be people having multiple downloads of the Extra Figures file... check and make sure that you didn't download it before ( i know i did cause it was a free download).

Worst Case senario you can delete your Gold Content and Download the untold Stories Bundle for 960 MSpoints ( I believe) and you will have pretty much everything (except versus which is an additional 400 point if you want it too) that GE had

I don't have Live...I had to go out of my way to be able to download. I did get the 30 Day trial of Gold, that's when I played Versus.

If the card doesn't work, I may just end up downloading the stuff individually, I mean it only goes up to about 20 bucks right?

I don't think you have to have a xbox live gold account to download things from the game marketplace.... Silver Live is free. So yeah worst case senario you could download the untold stories bundle(960 points) and that will get you merc reunion LIN and Desperate Escape... If you want versus it would be an extra 400 points.

I know you said you have no previous downloads but just check your system files on your RE5 stuff and make sure you don't have anything except the Gold Edition content. Just go to system settings, memory, games and finally Resident Evil 5. The only things you should have are Resident Evil Savedata and Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition (unless you have the game itself installed to your HD, then you would also have Resident Evil 5 in the list) If there is anything else, delete it and see if that works.... If not, I would call Capcom Customer service (who knows they may give you another redeem code) or do the untold stories bundle download and then the versus download and you will have everything that Gold Edition has. If you do download Untold Stories and Versus make sure you delete the gold edition file or you will have the same problems. And yes with both of the downloads you are lookin at a total of 1360 microsoft points and 1600 points goes for 19.99 or you could do it cheaper and buy 800 points for 9.99 and then 400 points twice for 4.99 each totaling 9.98 in which case you can save a whopping 2 cents.

Yeah, I'll try that out. I'm using a wireless connection right now...but whenever I get a chance, you can be sure that's what I'm going to try.

Shame we should have to go through this anyway, but Reunions is definately worth it. I can live without Versus though.
