Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition is now available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles. This special edition of the game comes with the original title, all of the previously released downloadable content and a brand-new “hardcore” difficulty setting.

The original Red Dead Redemption, according to Rockstar, raked in a whopping 160 Game of the Year awards. There’s no doubt that the game was well received, and if you haven’t had a chance to play it there’s no better time like the present. The GOTY edition will run you $49.99, but with all the added content you’re getting a pretty fair discount compared to what early-adopters paid.

In the meantime, it still looks like PC gamers are out of luck when it comes to Red Dead Redemption, as Rockstar has gone on the record as feeling that releasing the title to PC systems isn’t financially viable at the moment. While I’m not sure what that means, since there’s an obvious demand for the title, we’ll still have to wait and see if Rockstar decides to change their minds.

The events of Red Dead Redemption revolve around former gang member John Marston and his attempts to track down his wife and daughter. After participating in a bust gone bad, he’s left wounded and is only saved by the kindness of Bonnie MacFarlane. From there, he slowly builds his health back and tracks down gang members one by one until he can live in peace with his family. Then, zombies show up (DLC), as usual.

Are you planning on picking up this new and improved version of Red Dead Redemption?
