It appears that Best Buy, and perhaps others, will be giving out these fancy Red Dead Redemption playing cards during the midnight launch of the PS3 and Xbox 360 Western by Rockstar Games.
I can just picture a game of hold em’ in a shady saloon in the old west being plaed with these. Awesome stuff, How come we dont get these in a collectors edition?
Yeah, they look pretty awesome (personally, I can’t wait for the Fallout: New Vegas CE playing cards), and yeah, they’re up on eBay, some sellers selling tons of packs. Being sold by store employees no doubt, who took the cards from their place of employment, and are making ridiculous profits instead of the cards being given out, like they were MEANT to be, to people who go to that store and buy the game. Every pack sold on eBay is a customer not getting their pack of cards.
