I already have mine payed off! It's wierd that even though there are so many western movies, you don't get many western games. Gun, Red Dead Revolver, and to a lesser extent the Call of Juarez games were all pretty good, and I can't even name anymore besides those, so yeah i'm pretty pumped for RDR. It looks like the game world is more alive rather than an interactive sandbox that revolves around you...and the whole posse thing does seem pretty sweet. You just gotta be careful online because apparently if you anger the wrong gamers, you could wind up with a price on your head! I think this game will have more legs on it than GTA did online as well as off...but i'm rambling on at this point...
