CVG: First paid for DLC hurts our wallets
Todays deal on Xbox Live is geared towards owners of Red Dead Redemption. Sure, the game may be on sale for $29.99 (from $39.99) but you can pick up the Game of the Year Edition in stores for around that price so there’s no reason to buy the stand alone game. Instead, take a look at the DLC that is on sale.
I'd buy it. But then I realize that it's been on sale for practically every other week since GTAV was announced.
Following the revelation of the official box art design for the forthcoming Red Dead Redemption Game of the Year Edition last week, Electronic Theatre has endeavoured to secure further details of the retail release. Today, it has been confirmed that the latest version of the critically acclaimed Red Dead Redemption will launch at a budget price point in the UK.
I sold my copy without even getting 1/4 of the way, so I'm gonna pick this up for sure with all the included DLC :D
Might aswell wait for ALL big games to re-release their goty/ultimate/complete editions next year for a cheaper price. I can bet it will happen to Battlefield 3, Arkham City, LANoire, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, and a WHOLE bunch more.

Extending the length of your assets makes them more profitable; games like Borderlands and Modern Warfare 2 can have long, extended lives with the proper content. However, the first of Red Dead Redemption's DLC packs will likely leave you feeling limp".
Doubt ill b buyin it, i shall DEFO buy the dlc that adds online Poker etc
Im sure at sum point R* will do a bundle pack or a GOTY edition ill pick it up then, but i shall buy the poker dlc day 1 *thats probably y they didnt add it in the game*
yes.
Absolutely not. Should've been priced less than 7 dollars. Maybe PS+ members will get a discount.
Its not worth it yet, rockstar needs to reveal all 8 new characters and more information since its like buying expired milk without looking at the date on the carton.
Edit: however the new location areas according to the in-game map the areas that are not shown maybe itll open those areas up.
Multiplayer? C'mon. Give me 8 to 10 hours of extra single player story missions and I'll pay $20. How about a campaign of John Marston's old days in the gang? Some of the conflicts he went through then? And how he got betrayed, and ran away with his wife-to-be? I'd pay $20 to play that. C'mon R*.. you can do better than this.
Red Dead Redemption is one of my favorite games this gen. Multiplayer is pretty good too.. But I'd sac the multiplayer for single player any day.
