Yes, for those that have both should be able to save once on HDD and once on Memory Card.

If you have a transfer kit you should be able to copy the saves off the MU to the PC-HDD, thus allowing 'infinite' saves to the MU.

Good point even though it will take a few minutes, might save headaches down the road.

I watched both the original and remake over the weekend to prepare. The original is still such a classic.

I just bought Land of the Dead for no real reason...so I'll use that to get me pumped.

Well I'm not even renting it now after seeing this in the GS review

"The real-time structuring of Dead Rising has its unique qualities, but it doesn't always work particularly well. Specifically, the mission structure and the game's rather punishing save system simply don't get along with one another. Save points are scattered in a few specific spots throughout the mall, and you only get one save per storage device on the Xbox 360. Considering most people probably only have one storage device, that means one save for the whole game. The inherent problem with this is that because the game revolves so heavily on a rigid schedule for the case files, if you save yourself into a corner where you can't feasibly get to that next case file in time, you're screwed. All the case files are connected, and if you fail to get to one on time, the trail goes cold and you're unable to pick up any of the other story missions.

Interestingly enough, if this nightmare scenario happens, you can opt to save the game with Frank's current level and abilities intact and start the whole story over (which you'll basically have to do if you find yourself in this position anyway).

By nature, having to be places on time is not an inherently fun thing. It's especially frustrating when the penalty for not being somewhere on time is the whole story mode ending and you having to start over from hopefully a close enough spot to eventually make it."

I read this too and am bummed out big-time. I HATE timed missions in games. They drive me nuts. I don't want to be hurried. The only time time-based missions should be used is in racing games, IMO. :wink:

I decided I'll still rent it but just not do any or very very minimal side missions so I wouldn't possibly end up in a situation of having to start the game all over.

One more day, I can't wait for this to release tomorrow.

This is going to be one tough game.
