They probably have to say that. Contracts etc. If they are known to be shipping early they'll get grief. I expect them to go out tomorrow, but might be wrong.

Besides, their £3 to your account if a game is late policy would take a drubbing if they left it to the day before to send all their pre-orders.

As good as if not better than Grand Theft Auto IV and is as beautiful as a Hollywood epic.

Red Dead Redemption has a beautiful virtual world with an enormous amount of things to do, an exciting story and fantastic action. The game not only shows a world of the past, but also makes the player reflect the times we live in now. An exceptional achievement for a game.

This is simply a beautiful game, and it's provided more than a few moments where I completely forgot where the hell I was supposed to be going while riding over golden hills at sunset or through the desert in the middle of a nighttime lightning storm. It doesn't quite convey the loneliness of the real empty spaces, but does compress the essence of all the varieties of land and weather native to those parts into a few hundred miles ride.

Although this is said of almost every single new Rockstar product, Red Dead Redemption is arguably their best effort to date, if only because it distills all of the lessons they've learned from their previous titles into an engaging, expansive, and enthralling world. But the best part of Rockstar's open-world oater is its honest and open appreciation for the iconic Western genre.

Red Dead Redemption is not just the definitive sandbox gaming experience, nor simply the best Wild West videogame (hardly a challenge), it is developer Rockstar’s crowning achievement to date.

Even if Red Dead Redemption doesn’t make your top ten favorites it will at the very least be a tale of outlaws, dead men and deceit that will remain with you for years.

An awe-inspiring game. The gameplay and structure may be beginning to show their age a little, but the storytelling, characters and world-building is on a par with the best the medium has to offer. It's a sprawling and engrossing experience, epic in scope and size and offering a gigantic amount of playing time. With their latest open-world game, Rockstar have produced nothing less than the finest recreation of the Wild West on a console, and one of the best video games of this year.

If this game's concepts seem even remotely interesting to you, head out immediately to your nearest game store and slap your cash down. The single-player story alone is more than worth the price of admission, and the multiplayer is truly unique and will likely evolve into something very special as the community continues to grow.

The game itself is absolutely spectacular...The sheer quality of Red Dead Redemption is evident right from the word go.

Red Dead Redemption is the game that finally does the western it’s well deserved justice. The missions are varied, the characters awesomely crafted, the story is great and everything comes together as the best Sandbox ever. Rockstar’s lastest is just a must-have.

The game perfectly captures the expansiveness of frontier life and the gritty gunplay of spaghetti westerns, rightfully earning its place alongside the great Western films and the best Rockstar games. [Issue#206, p.86]

This is so much more than a mere retooling of Rockstar's tried and tested open world formula – it's an artful take on a world long lost, an evocative paean to not only the Western genre but also to the beautiful expanse of the American landscape.

A momentous gaming experience; one that marries artistry with supreme design rarely seen. If there's a textbook on how to be referent to a classic genre while always pressing forward, Red Dead Redemption is the byline. Wonderful.

Red Dead Redemption is one of the most thrilling gaming experience of all time. The expressive strength of the setting melts with a perfect gameplay, various and always funny. It is, without doubts, one of the great games whose name will be carved in videogame history.

Rockstar has taken the Western to new heights and created one of the deepest, most fun, and most gorgeous games around. You can expect the occasional bug or visual hiccup, but you can also expect a fantastic game that offers the Western experience we've all been waiting for.

I wonder if they'll offer any future DLC content ala GTA4 Gay Tony etc (not that I've played it but from what I've read they are excellent addons). Imagine what they could do with (although that may not be possible as we don't know what they've already done in the game).

Interesting thing I just noticed is that there are more people on these forums signed up for the PS3 match arranging than there are for the 360 match arranging, thought there'd be a massive number of 360 players compared to a smaller amount of PS3 players. :)

Noticed that too but I expect most of the 360 users are already on each others lists because of previous games that have had the same threads/arrangements.
 
I like it, it's a good (borderline very good) game but I don't think it's the 5-start/AAA title it has been made out to be.

I don't care enough for the characters so far, the controls are a little clunky, and the landscape (no surprises here!) a little baron. Still, I'm going to stick with it some more. It seems to be picking up the pace a little now.

Rockstar deserve massive kudos for the western landscape they've created. Great fun riding across the plains watching the sun going down.

Possibly up there GOTY contender.

I'm warming to it, but Rockstar must (MUST!) support this game like they did with GTA4 - even more so. They could add tons of high quality content to SP and MP, the latter is a bit sparse at the moment but what they do have is fun to play. The game mechanics are fantastic, I was just playing online with someone off here (Tone) and it was great having missions to complete (hideouts) but they must add more to the map!
