User blog comment:DippyDog505/I have a problem with the Game of the Year edition/@comment-1265875-20120117224710

I've sent this same question to R* several times and have seen no response whatsoever.

I implored them (I hope you see what I did there :)) to make the new stuff available to those of us who've been here all along.

Unfortunately for everybody (including R*) they have decided to move on from RDR, so the importance of pleasing its fan base is no longer a priority.

They've decided that we'd all want Max Payne 3 much more, so we're getting that shoved down our throat. And when the response to MP3 was still pretty tepid, they decided to drop the no-actual-info-whatsoever GTAV trailer just to keep people interested and visiting their site daily. If you care about Max Payne 3, then I am sorry that you care about Max Payne 3.

I've been brewing a letter for them that lets them know that they really have mis-underestimated (thanks Dubya) the longevity of Red Dead Redemption. That the game still has strong legs almost 2 years after release and that whatever they make for it, people will give them money. Hell, I'd give 'em 400MSP just to play one stupid gang hideout - and I know I'm not alone.

I've even considered buying a cheap, used copy for the PS3 just to get to play the hideout, but then I remember that PS3 has the inferior graphics which is probably why the extra stuff was there to begin with, and I don't bother.

(And just so we don't start an uninformed debate about this derailing the thread, let me break it down: the PS3 uses a 720p resolution (I still haven't found out why) which the machine then upscales to 1080p for your display - this is why the details are a little slighter and the image has kind of a "soft" focus to it. The XBOX utilizes the full 1080p resolution without any upscaling so everything is sharp and clear. So if you see me saying the XBOX version is better, the above is my reasoning, not some fanboy devotion to the console itself.)

But right now, spending $50 bucks just to get a few extras is a bit too much.

On a similar note, I got the GOTY edition of the game guide and it contains everything for Undead Nightmare which has been previously unavailable as an official strategy guide. I will scour it for any tidbits I can add here :)
