If you’re part of the very small group of people who haven’t played Red Dead Redemption yet and this week’s free DLC couldn’t get you there, you now have even more incentive to give it a go. For just $49.99, anyone can get a copy of the full Red Dead experience on October 11th in North America. Rockstar Games will be releasing a much warranted Game-of-the-Year edition for RDR on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Before you raise a stink about the ‘game-of-the-year’ branding, this one was earned, with over 160 game-of-the-year awards from various companies.
The GOTY Edition is set to include the full Red Dead Redemption game with an all-new ‘hardcore’ difficulty option for single-player. Also included on-disc will be every single piece of DLC, free or paid, that has been released for it so far. This includes the zombie filled Undead Nightmare, characters and maps from Legends and Killers and Myths and Mavericks, more multiplayer antics from Liars and Cheats and Outlaws to the End, the previously PlayStation 3 Exclusive Solomon’s Folly gang hideout and challenges, and all of the pre-release bonus content including the Deadly Assassin Outfit, War Horse, Golden Guns Weapon Pack, and the Hunting and Trading Outfits Pack. That’s an undoubtedly large amount of value there, considering each of the paid packs were $5 a pop and any Preorder bonuses you didn’t get but still wanted were $1 each. Throw in a copy of one of the few games that can justify the original $60 asking price, and you've got yourself quite the steal; assuming you don't already own the game that is.
