Most Rockstar titles get released on PC MUCH MUCH later and I refuse to wait since I've already waited since May 2004 (Red Dead Revolver) for Redemption to come out!

The first game was good...now that there's free roam like in GTA...I am super excited to play this title! This is one of the only games, over so many years, that I'd consider staying up till midnight for a midnight launch to pick up! I think I’ve only done one other midnight launch and that was when the Wii initially launched (I couldn’t wait to play Twilight Princess).

There are tons of crappy western games that have been released over the years…the only one I’ve ever liked was Red Dead Revolver. So if you own a 360/PS3, like westerns, and you want a break from RPGs/FPS/Sci-Fi…I totally would suggest checking this game out. I’m sure this game will be a lot better than the first one.

As much as I hate to pay full price for a game, I think I'm going to have to make an exception for this one. But, I'll get a $3/one day rental on it from the place down the street just to make sure its worth it.

Anyone got the game i heard the PS3 version is inferior to Xbox360

Nah, PS3 is just fine. There are a bunch of peeps that got their hands on the PS3 copy and said it looks and runs great. One guy got both the PS3 and 360 copy, and said both visually look the same, though the 360 runs a tad smoother in hectic situations but it is nothing to go crazy about. This is probably due to that the PS3 is vsync'd (just like GTA4).

The 360 version runs really nice. I bet the PS3 version is good also.

yeah i know ;( i pre-d it before i got my 360. I actually would have got it on that as many more people have one ... i am sure down the road i will get it on 360, as well as pc. I did that with gta4 and actually enjoyed playing through the whole story multiple times :) (months apart)

I wish there was a cheaper way to get titles for multiple platforms. I can't figure out how they would make sure we didn't share (unless it was digital distribution) ... but it would be soo cool.

Thats a shame m8 :( I take it you live in India then? :) Are games expensive other there?

Delays always happens , PS3 games costs around $50 but PC games are damn cheap.

Most Expensive game on PC being MW2 $25 , most PC games cost $15 infact GTA 4 and EFLC cost just $9

I`m just amused of how great games look on the XBOX360 knowing how underpowered is compared to PC.

I know, its puzzling isnt it. You can pick up a 360 for less than the price of a decent GPU.
