Red Dead Redemption Trailer Shows Candidates for GameStop Preorder Bonus Contest
Last week, we reported that GameStop had kicked off an online voting program allowing players who pre-order the game to help determine which of three potential bonus outfits they'd receive when the
More than mere fashion statements, each outfit carries a in-game bonus for gunslinging protagonist, John Marsten. The Savvy Merchant outfit would give Marsten a 50% discount at in-game stores, and the Deadly Assassin duds would decrease the cool-down time for the "Dead Eye" targeting ability. The Expert Hunter attire would enable Marsten to gather twice the normal spoils when hunting, but is doubly cool because of the stylish badger chapeau.
Only the outfit that receives the most votes will be included, so if you're pre-ordering from GameStop and have a preference, you can still head over and vote for your favorite until the promotion ends at 12:01 AM Central Time on February 15.
Red Dead Redemption comes out for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on April 27.

I hope this game sucks because if its good I'll probably finally buy a console to play it. I really like westerns and decent ones are few and far between.
I don't understand why they don't give PC ports of this stuff. I know that "Piracy" is everyone's favorite reply, but I just don't buy that. The additional cost of making a PC version is easily offset by sales even if there is an obnoxiously high degree of piracy of a particular game. -
