Well I stand corrected Mr. Gamesnash, about what I said about never ordering online. If I do order a game online someday, then sir, it will be with you!!

Enjoy the game man!!

I would heavily recommend them. This is the second time I've used them to pre-order a game and both times it has arrived a day early.

Anybody have an idea what price it's going for in GameStop stores? I have a cunning ruse I wish to put into action tonight...

Think i heard they were selling it for around 50-55 but dont quote me on that.
Also anything that takes money from Gamestop gets my vote of approval

Just saw the ad on TV for RDR, doesnt do it justice. Shows no actual gameplay just cut scenes. Bit stupid as the gameplay looks super duper awesome!!

Update. Amazon won't be shipping til Friday so you should be expecting it early next week at best i'm afraid



:P This is why I never buy games online, I just don't trust the sites, logistics, post men, etc.

Damn it. Just checked my Amazon order and it hasn't dispatched either. I'm a bit p1ssed as I was looking forward to getting stuck in to this tomorrow. Ah well, it'd better ship tomorrow else I'm off to HMV on Saturday to buy it and then return the Amazon copy when I get it.

Just looked at my friends list and saw one of them playing it!!:mad:

Ah was only joking bout that man but thats sh*t alright. Wouldn't wish it on anyone to be without this game tomorrow. Speaking of, I can see a rolling tumbleweed on these RDR threads tomorrow. Well actually I will be seeing a rolling tumbleweed in this awesome game!!!!! Hopefully :eek:

I'm been keeping tabs on this, it looks like the time and effort is being put into making a decent game. Here's hoping it turns out pretty good!

Rockstar have a reputation for making decent games as far as I know but I don't think I've ever played GTA (Don't hit me! ), does anyone else think this'll be one of the better games of the year?

I'm really asking because I was really really worked up about borderlands, but I was really let down when it came out. So much so that I got bored and never finished the game. I'm hoping Red Dead won't be a repeat performance. Praying, in fact!

ill be gettin it 2marro anyway cant wait.

By any chance can you go around scalping people???

Borderlands was trying to be fallout, RDR is doing it's own thing so i'm hoping it lives up to the hype

CokaColumbo

I rang HMV on grafton street and dundrum about one hour ago and both said that a pre-order for the game was not necessary, that they'll have plenty of stock.

This game is gonna be the **** man, I can't wait for tomorrow!!!

I heard its terrible, probably one of the worst games ever made.

skelliser

Optimalprimerib

mayordenis

I avoided the hype train for as long as possible but I'm getting all antsy in my pantsy now.

Turns out I got an email earlier this evening confirming shipment. The same thing happened when I pre-ordered Liberty City Stories and got it on day of release (living in UK). Fingers crossed it'll arrive in the morning.

Shryke

I have my copy already but I must finish Alan Wake first. I'm on the last part. Then its guns, guts and gold.

thorbarry

Heading to dundrum now to get it

Anyone been out n about this morning hunting for a copy without a preorder? Are shelves bare? Is it a total sellout? Will a portal to another dimension full of evil monsters burst open any second?

Walked into HMV Grafton St before work this morning and shelves are full.
Bought my copy (For Xbox) and noticed person behind was buying it as well.
Cant play it till Sunday though as I'm going away straight after work :mad:

I got mine last night . Funny thing is , i never heard of this game till yesterday. Its a great little game. It plays great , it looks great. Some great all round fun .

I wandered into a bandit camp last night and managed to get up on the roof of one of the huts, i took out all the bandits from there. I saved somebodys daughter who i didnt even know was there.

Are there any Native Americans in this game ??

How much is it at HMV? They've been good with new release prices lately.

Mr E

From Xbox forum (which was copied from PS3 forum):

HMV: 44.99
GAME: 49.99
Gamestop: 44.99
Smyths: 54.99
Tesco: 54.99

Shzm

Odd that Game are €5 more than Gamestop, hopefully in cases where they're in very close proximity to each other (ie Blanch), they'll be a bit more competitive!

I had pre-ordered in Game but when I was down in Dundrum I saw that HMV were doing the game with 3.10 to Yuma for free.
So I picked it up there for €44.99

Just gone through a few opening sections now and its got a much better control mechanic than GTA 4 which is a good thing.

Fizman

Just picked up my copy in HMV Crescent SC with blu ray. Quite happy with the bit of business I just did tbh ..........

Traded in 4 games against it expecting maybe €25ish off total. The games and prices HMV gave me were:

Killzone 2 - €8.50
Street Fighter 4 - €10.50
Pro Evo 2010 - €29 :eek::eek::eek: (even the guy who scanned it into the system said it was surprisingly high, I just smiled)
Burnout Paradise - €6

Total: €54 store credit. So I got RDR, 3:10 to Yuma and €9 credit for my troubles! Good times. €29 for PES 2010 is crazy money considering it's platinum! Won't get to play this until about 7pm this evening mind.

Fizman

Just posted in the PS forum but said I'd mention it here too........just picked up my copy of RDR in HMV and traded 4 games in too.

I got €29 alone for PES 2010!!!!!! Crazy money.

Krusader

Got it in Game traded in BFBC2 and Heavy Rain, it covered the €45 cost, tried my local XtraVision 1st and they only had Xbox360 copies that weren't all pre-ordered

EGriff

Tried xtravision myself, they open at 11 and they were sold out at quarter past when I went in. They only had 4 PS3 copies apparently.

Tesco don't seem to have it at all.

funkyjebus

anyone know what xtra vision are charging, also are gamestop doing any trade in deals on this?

EGriff

€55 in xtravision. But i wouldn't go in there looking for a PS3 version.

I heard that there is another ash cloud comming in and that everyone who ordered from amazon is going to have to wait a month to get their game. :eek:

I'm very torn kids.. help me out. I have a PS3 and Xbox.

My PS3 is hooked up to a 1080P 37" TV connected to a 5.1 sound system.

My 360 is hooked up to a 1080P 22" Monitor running to 2 speakers and a subwoofer.

The PS3 is clearly the better setup of the two, and I have the PS3 version pre-ordered with the free Blu-ray in HMV for collection today,

But after reading problems with the PS3 version (lower resolution, frame-rate problems etc) - should I go with the Xbox version instead?

Burgo

No chance of hooking up the xbox to the 37" ?

Nope.. unfortunately not.

The Xbox is in my office (for "working"... pfft!) upstairs whereas my PS3 is in the sitting room downstairs.
