Pick the Red Dead Redemption GameStop pre-order bonus photo

Rockstar Games and GameStop are allowing you, yes you, to decide which pre-order bonus for Red Dead Redemption will be offered at the retailer. Oh no, they aren't asking for creative input or anything too meaningful; just a simple click on your favorite of the three unlockable outfits.

This "Red Dead Referendum" ends on February 15. Until then, you can vote once every 24 hours on The Deadly Assassin outfit, which is obviously the way to go. I mean, how can you possibly turn down an eyepatch-wearing individual who also happens to be an assassin?

Each outfit offers a different in-game bonus -- which you can read about by clicking the above link -- but again, who cares about such silly things when you could play as a man with an eyepatch.

Or they could just put all three in the game and leave it at that, no content withheld for a lame-ass pre-order bonus - for this generation of gaming - would be revolutionary.

Voting for the one I hope most people will hate (eyepatch costume is the coolest, so not that one!), purely because I'm tired of Gamestop's pre-order bonuses.

Sure the assassin has an eye patch but the hunter has a skinned raccoon(?) for a hat. It's both a fashion statement and a warning to other small mammals to not get on his bad side.

PS. Every side is his bad(ass) side.

@ The Silent Protagonist: My thoughts exactly. This shit's getting out of hand.

Failing that though, why the hell would you pick anything other than the Assassin?

Current standings:
The Savvy Merchant: 25%
The Deadly Assassin: 36%
The Expert Hunter: 39%

Voted for the Merchant. You can hate, but that jacket is classy. And shit gets cheap.

The Deadly Assassin looks like Snake Pliskin. How amusing.

So if all 3 of those were rendered for screenshots, I'm assuming that means they're all ready to put into the game.

So why are we choosing just one?

So hopefully the two that are not chosen are available to all while the third is simply with-held for gamestop pre-orders? Definitely vote for the hunter!

I vote for Kramer (as a tobacco sponsor cowboy) from Seinfield to be a cameo in this game. All in favor?

I get to choose between having an eye-patch or not having an eye-patch? Eye-patch please.

my question is, how can you NOT choose the guy with the dead beaver/racoon on his head? dead badger/cat -> eyepatch. if he had a pegleg AND a patch, then that would be a different story..

The Assassin looks very very cool but the other two will probably be available for DLC

They should make the most popular a Gamestop exclusive and put the rest in game. That way Gamestop gets money and people aren't AS whiny.

the Expert Hunter reminds of me of Anthony Hopkins from the Edge.
