*Official Red Dead Redemption thread* - Wanna posse up pardner?

[BoberFett]

did a quick amazon search.. seems amazon is shipping with two different upcs

UPC 710425398254 has the code
UPC 710425395741 does not have the code

i got the one with no code. thats crap.

I'd definitely complain on that one.

 

[JoPh]

i think an official statement from amazon -- says on amazon it is an amazon official poster

Hi everyone - Amazon here. Just to be clear, the bulk of the pre-order units that have already shipped or will be shipping today should include in-pack the code to unlock the Golden Guns Weapon Pack. If your copy does not include the code, you will receive an email within the next 3 days with your unique code to access it. For the $20 gift card, you will be receiving the gift card via email within 10 days.

 

[BoberFett]

Aha

 

[JoPh]

hmm.. 35 or golden guns.. hmmm..

35.00 is nice but gold guns are awesome for some reason.

I know, suddenly I'm regretting selling them like something terrible...

Wow, can't believe the code went for $35. I think I'm going to sell mine too. That would make the net cost of the game down to $5 for me.

 

[Phobic9]

Red Dead Redemption: $59.99
Release Day Delivery: $5.99
Amazon Credit: -20.00
Selling Gold Guns code on Ebay: -$35.00

Total price: $10.98 out of pocket.

BTW, my code sold on ebay in 8 minutes at that price. If you've got one to get rid of you might as well list it for more.

Really tempted to sell mine. Hmmmm...

 

[Tristicus]

How the hell? $35?!?!?!?

 

[GCS]

At $35 mine are out of here!

I would much rather have the money

Greg

Edit: no codes in my case so I will have to wait for the email

 

[trmiv]

Whoa, $35 for the Gold Guns code?

I think I'm heading to ebay to sell this thing.

 

[Tristicus]

So, you guys selling your codes, feel like donating to my RDR fund?

 

[fatpat268]

Well, I tried redeeming the golden gun code, but the server seems down.

Are they THAT good that people for some reason are paying $30 for them?

 

[Zargon]

you can earn them in game....

 

[Kabob]

There are some hitting $40 already...were I you I'd put it as a Buy It Now since most on there are for bidding on.

It's not that they're good, people just want what they can't get. When Gears 2 came out I sold my Golden Hammerburst code for like $10, I could have grabbed a handful when I picked the game up.

you can earn them in game....

You can earn them in MP only, not in SP. The code is for SP.

Do it! Sucks for those who don't have a code yet though.

Hrm, maybe they'll send me another code as well! ()

oooh thanks for clearing that up!

Just put mine up for $35 BIN. Golden guns are cool, but to make the net cost of this game to $0 would be freaking awesome.

Lets see...
$60-$25 GC (from amazon rewards) - $20 GC (from ordering the game) - ~$30 (after ebay fees) = -$15. Nice

On a side note... ebay charges 15% for fees now on video game stuff?! Holy crap, no wonder why I don't sell much there any more.

Massive plagarization of my Ebay auction! :awe: (kidding) I can't say much though since I used your pic of the card.

Yeah, the fees suck but even so if I could get even $5 for the code I'd sell it.

It'll be gone in a few mins. Buddy of mine just put his up for $40 and it was gone in 11 mins.

Yeah, mine went for $40 too.

Did the buyer for yours leave the payment as a pending balance? Just wondering. I can see why they did it, they want to make sure the code is valid, but it seems like it would be real easy to rip off the seller by just saying it didn't work, then the code is useless.

Hopefully the buyer wouldn't do that, they have 100% feedback with over 80 left, just makes me nervous.

 

[Kabob]

Nope, they paid instantly for mine.

 

[fatpat268]

Actually I think I plagiarized another person, who in turn plagiarized you.

 

[TallBill]

Come on game, where are you? Hope I get it tomorrow, I'll definitely try to sell my gold guns code.

 

[coldmeat]

So far the game has been pretty fun. There's been a few little problems I've had but nothing really that bad. For example I was just riding along exploring when I heard a lady yelling for help cause her wagon was stolen. I caught up to the wagon, killed the guy and when I got off my horse to drive the wagon back, my horse just ran straight towards the wagon, knocking it over and destroying it, then turned around and walked back to me.

edit: just did another one of these things where I had to save a guy's horse. As soon as I killed the guy that stole it, the horse walked straight into the river and died.

 

[Super56K]

Crap. No code in my game box. I'd sell it on ebay if it was worth $10 let alone $35, sheesh. I emailed Amazon and hopefully they will get this resolved.

 

[JoPh]

well here are my impressions so far.. ill sum it up real simple.

gta meets wild west. plain and simple.
if you dont like the gta style game you wont like this

if you found gta multiplayer bad this is exactly the same.
.....


now that said... i think i am only going to play the single player and be done with the game. the multiplayer is just bad. same boring stuff that gta was. i would rather be playing bc2 or mw2.

thats just my opinion. i did enjoy the mexican standoffs. thats kinda fun. the gameplay online the exact same as gta and i didnt enjoy that... oh well. they got me hooked with the trailers and hype.

i will say i am very dissapointed that i bought this game thinking i was going to get a great multiplayer experiance... i just dont think sandbox games are for me.

oh well.


edit..

heres hoping that i will enjoy the single player more.
