8 Player split screen? Did you even look at the screenshots?

lol. on a 40" you'd get a grand total of 5 inches of space to yourself. break out the telescope!

but i can empathize with the OP. ive made purchases just assuming it meant one thing, when in fact it did not.

Branden...pass the controller was announced months ago...it was one of the big sellers of the party pack...

Well, I think it could be misleading to those who don't read forums all the time. I could see where someone could easily assume such a thing.

But still, the responsibility lies with Branden to research what he's purchasing.

i'm not a huge gamer, i don't keep up to date on the latest game announcements, i wouldn't know. so i made an reasonable assumption that turned out to be wrong, to me offline multiplayer implies split-screen and pass-the-pad dies with SNES.

even so, is this party expansion really worth $10 to anyone?

I don't regret not buying it, does that count?

DaMexiRican · 02-25-2009, 05:18 PM

I don't regret it either. It has been a lot of fun when I have 4 or more people come over. And drinking. Lots of laughs have ensued LOL Other than this, LBP or Rockband are the only other thing we would play. Even then, it's harder for everybody else to get into LBP or play Rockband.

Im still planing to eventually buy this just because you never know when you will have 7 friends over + i got an 61" tv so th screens wouldnt be that small

yeah, breaking the screen into 8 squares is 8 small squares, but we did have 4 player split-screen on our SD consoles, 8 player on HD is still coming out ahead. i was really only looking for 2 player anyhow.

I bought it too because I assumed it was 2 player split screen. I blame myself for rushing to judgement and not researching at all.
