Xbox 360 Fancast 172 -- Beating a Red Dead Horse

We've got more talk about Read Dead Redemption this week, along with some discussion about Crackdown 2. We also take some time to discuss whether or not you can play Kinect sitting down, and then we put the whole rumor to bed. Or should that be on the couch?
