No, no -- don't be silly. Even though the Deadly Assassin outfit for Red Dead Redemption is clearly going to be the GameStop pre-order bonus, as it should, they haven't closed the polls early. We did, however, get a video about the various bonuses the in-game outfits provide.
The most interesting part of the trailer is easily the evil bear; everything else is kind of "ehh" and (as expected) screams of "guys, guys, GameStop, guys!" I liked it better when these Red Dead videos were more substantial in length and meaningful in content.
As far as I can tell, we haven't heard one way or the other on what is happening to the two losing outfits. Will they be auctioned off to other retailers for use as pre-order incentives, become available for free online, or just go to waste? Boy, game reservations sure have been sucking it up lately.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I personally liked the Merchant because the classy looks and features. The Hunter looks like a model from Field & Stream, and the Assassin is not Big Boss so he can kiss my grits. Extra Dead Eye time? Shoot faster then bitch.
This preorder bonus seems to be US GS exclusive. How does the rest of the world get this?
Vote for the damn Hunter outfit!
