Red Dead XP Race Has Begun

To lure fans back into the RDR servers, Rockstar has started up a new competitive challenge which will pit PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 veterans against each other. XP earned in all online matches will be go towards a total sum tracked by the Rockstar Social Club, and once a certain quota is reached the Elegant Suit and Crimson Posse T-shirt appearance options will be unlocked for 360 and PS Home avatars. If one team wins, the other will still be able to claim their virtual awards as long as they beat the quota set.

No doubt zealous fanboys will be hitting the servers hard in order establish their console’s superiority, however with such an influx of incredible exclusives for the PlayStation 3 this month, an Xbox victory will likely fall on deaf ears.

  1. A clever idea, but a bit late now!

    • Yup, sold it a while ago.

      • I dont think that this or anything else could get me to play that multiplayer again.

  2. I saw that on the Rockstar Propoganda email last night, quite a curious idea. Shame the rewards for PS3 are Home related, I don’t really find much time to jump into PS Home.

    • Yeah I would rather get some premium avatars or wallpaper than useless junk for home :/
      That being said I’m sure someone will like it.

    • agreed
      xmb avatar for example, would be more desireable

  3. Releasing this idea at the same time as Dead Space 2 AND Mass Effect 2….hhmm

  4. Why now? I’m going to be too busy dismembering necromorphs to go on RDR.

  5. Great idea, I’ve got a meet set up this sunday at 8pm if anyone wants to join

    :)

    • I’m not going to commit to Sunday just yet, but I’d defo be up for another RDR meet. The missus might have me doing housework on the day of rest I expect.

      • I have one of those missus’s too! ;)

  6. Pffft I’m too busy with Little Big Planet 2 in creations studio, it’s gonna eat up my whole day and evening plus there’s Mass Effect that I’m very looking forward too!
    Still it’s a great idea but like DrNate said it’s too late now.

  7. Might give online another blast then!

  8. Nice idea but like people have set, probably bit too late now

  9. platinum on it so a got shot of it there was only so much pikes basin one man can take

    • Jealous, I stopped playing when I shot beavers and they disappeared. Only found out after my gun was probably too powerful but that’s no reason for it to just vanish!

      I would’ve liked to get the platinum for it though, twas such a great game when I played it and I dooo still have it :)

  10. well since i’m one of the few people who dosn’t have the joy of killing crazy monsters or jumoing around as a sack i think its time i went back to the wild west and shot me some zombies!
