Correct, I bought directly through the R* platform and you get the special edition. $55.

It's a great game with great reviews, at $0.70 per hour, I'd say it's great bang for buck.

The main story only uses a relatively small section of the map. After I did that I went exploring the rest and its massive. To fully explore and complete all the side mission would take well over 100 hours. Be prepared to be attacked by animals on a regular basis

Just checked and that offer is still available on the R* launcher. So Epic are selling all three versions at full retail and not offering the upgrade from Standard to special....

They did state originally that the offer was exclusive to the R launcher at the time. Its an incentive to buy direct them R themselves.
No reason there should be any issues, they've not done anything they don't do all the time.

Yeah you can, but not on the same scale. GTA you get all the police in cars plus helicopters etc. This game is slower paced, like a real western. So you will get some sheriff's chase you on horse and you will probably die.
Likewise
Humble & GMG are open for sale as well.. Humble have no discount
& GMG are-12% which is still way more than CDkeys charged. I'd Imagine R* don't care because they are already gouging our eyes out with their pricing.
I bought from Rockstar, 54.99 for the Special Edition. On my £ per hour system I would be surprised if I get less than 55 hours out of the game. Will probably be more like the 100+ hours that I got for Assassins Creed Origins and Assassins Creed Odyssey (incidently I paid more than 54.99 for both of those as I got the deluxe editions of those), so I'm fine with it, 54.99 for 100+ hours is good value in my books. Based on the £ per hour thing.
I'd be happier if it was cheaper of course, everyone likes cheap but its far from what I think of as a ripoff considering how much I will get out of it.

So... Logging in using my PIA India VPN this game comes out at around £35 rather than the £55 that Rockstar want via their new launcher, I haven't seen anyone here mention giving this a go. Is it a bad bad bad idea? Paypal is allowed as a payment method too.

Thats a good way to judge it to be honest dude. £1 per hour (and thats a worst case) is great value for money if you look at it that way.

yeh I always look at £1 an hour as good value but include a £2 per hour tier for short story AAA games that will wow me.
hmm im worried there wont be a preload
no official word and from the email you get when pre-ordering it doesn't sound like it will be an option
i remember the GTA V launch we had preload but even with that at midnight it was chaos on steam and the R* launcher
i cant imagine what this will be like without a preload

I originally was tempted to do the same and then read how you could be banned potentially and something about chinese players doing that for gta 5.
I decided to go down the cdkeys route. Bought from them for years and they never let me down

Is it easy to buy games from other countries purely by using VPN?
That's pretty much how CDKeys get there keys. They buy bulk from overseas territories where the price is discounted by the publisher and then sells them on to us at a reduced price. Hence why there prices fluctuate.
I have seen no mention of region locking on RDR2 being offered for sale or with GTA V

There will be a preload as with GTA. I don't see any difference to that launch.

Should release the CD keys tomorrow right ? would like to preload it before the 5th
CDKeys told me the keys they have will be released the day before.
