You know what rocks? Choices. You know what sucks? That would also be choices. On one hand, having a few pre-order bonuses to choose from is great–if you don’t like a bonus from one retailer, simply go to another. Fans of Mass Effect 2 are familiar with this. But what happens when you want all of them? I’ll have to answer that question come April with the Red Dead Redemption pre-order bonuses. There are no less than eight different pre-order bonuses available, from ten different US and UK retailers. Eight! A few are yawn-inducing (the $5 gift card from Target? Thanks but no thanks) but having to choose between the War Horse, a steed promised to be faster and more damage resistant (Best Buy pre-order), and The Golden Guns pack and a $10 gift card from Amazon, just isn’t fair. There’s also a mini guide floating around (Game Crazy) and a Red Dead Referendum outfit from Gamestop. There’s even voting still going on for the final word on which pre-order outfits will make it to other retailers! What’s a girl to do?
Which pre-order bonus sounds most compelling to you?
