Red Dead Redemption's many, many pre-order bonuses are now detailed on the game's
official website, and we can't imagine anyone will be prepared for the barrage of options listed when you click that link. No less than
eight different pre-order bonuses, split between
ten different US and UK retailers have been dreamed up by marketing. In typical
Rockstar fashion, the practice of "exclusive" bonus content has become
excessive bonus content.
Among the options listed are the "Golden Guns Weapon Pack" (more "Fame" per kill), from Amazon, which also comes with a $10 Amazon gift card; the "War Horse," a steed that Rockstar claims can't be bested by any other horse in the game, only available from Best Buy and HMV; and the "Deadly Assassin Outfit" from UK retailer Game (and
maybe GameStop, if the getup wins the vote -- uh-huh,
there's a pre-order vote). So yeah, we're going with the Amazon option, too.
