You'll have to wait till January 4th when GameStop will hold a vote that will determine which of the three suits will be the pre-order bonus.

Pre-Order: GameStop

Rockstar has released the second trailer for Red Dead Redemption along with a firm release date of April 30th, 2010.

Rockstar has just sent word that the next trailer for Red Dead Redemption, "My name is John Marston", will be releasing on Tuesday, December 1st.

Rockstar has released a set of four new screens for Red Dead Redemption.

Take-Two today announced their second quarter 2009 results. Here are some insteresting details from the results.

Red Dead Redemption:
Among the results is the announcement of a delay for Red Dead Redemption into 2010.

Mafia II and Red Dead Redemption are now scheduled for release in the first half of fiscal 2010 to allow additional development time for the titles and to maximize their full potential in terms of the quality of the player experience and market performance. 

L.A. Noire:

Take-Two kept reporting in their quarter results that L.A. Norie would be coming in 2009, however, L.A. Noire doesn't make an appearance in the list of games for this year. Could this mean that L.A. Noire has been pushed back again?

Beaterator:

Back in March when Take-Two reported their first quarter results, Beaterator had "to be announced" as it's platforms instead of just PSP. This quarter, Take-Two did the same so it's looking likely that Beaterator will make a jump to an additional platform.

IGN recently got a chance to sit down and watch Red Dead Redemption being played. We've extracted the most important points below.

• Open World
• Along with San Digeo, Rockstar North and Rockstar Leeds are also working on the game
• Uses Euphoria
• At the beginning of the game, things from John's past come back and force him away from home and in to the wild
• Players will be able to accept missions, engage in mini-games, ride horses, trains and stagecoaches, hunt and go on killing sprees as they wish.
• The world is divided up into three large sections: Frontier, Mexico and Northern territories
• Progressing though the story opens up the other sections. Once unlocked, you can travel between them all via horse, walking, stagecoach, or train.
• You can use lassos and kerosene lamps
• Marston is the only person you play as
• Deadeye is still in and includes two skill levels
• Duels are still in
• You can carry up to 4 items
• You can't own property
• All items will be shown on his model
• Regenerative Health
• You can do deadeye and fighting while on a horse
• Full day and night cycles, ped system similar to GTAIV and dynamic weather system
• Dynamic roaming wildlife such as wolves hunting for rabbits or mountain lions looking for someone to feast on
• No load times transitioning from world to interior
• The game will include multiplayer
• Mid-mission checkpoints

Personally, the more I hear about the game, the more I cannot wait to get my hands on it!
