I was tempted to get it today but I had other pressing matters to attend to. I'm looking forward to it to be sure. It'll be the PS3 version for me.

Morph, you get this yet? Anybody? Just got it today but atm, my mom's watching tv so no play time for me. Oh well.

Yep, I got the limited edition on Thursday. I've only played a little bit so far, because I got Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands aswell, so I've played that first. But Red Dead is is good, the world is HUGE, lol.

Yeah, this world's huge and beautiful to look at. I'm really taking my time playing this since there're sooo much things you can do other than play the main storyline.

I've done a couple of bounties; the first one escaped me however but got the other one --- had to kill him though but would've been better if taken alive for a bigger reward. Accomplished my first treasure hunt --- very interesting trying to decipher those treasure maps!!!

I happen to experience some mishaps too lol. I came upon this fellow out in the wilderness who was shooting birds and he challenged me if I can do better. Sure enough, I unholster my rifle but inadvertently point it at the guy who immediately takes offense and proceeds to gun me down!!! WTH?!! Another instance finds me in the bank but I somehow entered where the tellers are positioned and next thing I know, I'm mistaken for attempting to rob the bank and a bounty is immediately place upon my head!! lol I didn't like how this turn of events came to be so I reloaded a previous save since I didn't want my "fame" and "honour" status, that I've achieved so far, to go untarnished. I'm going the good guy route --- doing otherwise goes against my better judgement. I felt bad I was unable to save some guy's friend who was being wrongfully hanged; I wasn't fast enough in killing the lynch mob and shooting the rope.

As far as I'm concerned, this is waay better than GTA IV. The voiceovers are well down and the conversations that take place unroll naturally in any said situation.

BTW, what does the limited edition consist of?

Interesting that you should mention the new Prince of Persia game; I was debating on whether or not to get it. I probably will since I played the Ubisoft trilogy.

The Limited Edition comes in a shiny cardboard cover, and a code for the Deadly Assassin outfit, the War Horse, the Golden Guns and the soundtrack [download].

Forgotten Sands is in the Sands of Time timeline, I liked it, but I thought it was short, and got a bit repetitive. Good play though.
