RDR becomes Amazon UK’s best-selling pre-order this year to date
Amazon UK has revealed Red Dead Redemption is the biggest pre-ordered title from the retailer this year so far.
The Rockstar western holds three of the top five positions in the websites video games chart for both PS3 and 360 versions, as well as the PS3 special edition.
“This is undoubtedly the most hotly anticipated video game of the year so far,” Amazon UK games boss Chris Poad said. “Demand has risen significantly over the last week as excitement and buzz around the game has built, making it one of the most successful titles we have seen on Amazon.co.uk this year before it has even been released.”
Go get an order in now, innit. Reviews say you must.
Game’s out tomorrow in the UK for PS3 and 360.

My PS3 copy arrived an hour ago.
And before anyone starts, it was before all this sub-HD bollocks got out. Even then, I don’t really care.

Of course it’s not bad. It’s just pointless stuff that only fanboys care about.

I really don’t think the res stuff is going to be an issue. Honestly it doesn’t change the fun factor and the game is still looking good. I would be ticked if the game suffered from horrible slow down/bad frame rates.

@3 – I haven’t even put the disc into my PS3 yet.
Somebody’s gotta look after the site, ya’know.
