Which Limited Edition Should I Pre-Order

I will be getting both Red Dead Redemption and Alan Wake, yet i'm not sure which one to get first (i like to pace myself when it comes to buying.) The first game i get will be Limited Edition.

Which Limited Edition is better?

Please explain why if you vote, it means nothing to me if you have no explanation.

Depends really as is there a price difference there? Red Dead has good content with the Limited Edition but Alan Wake might save you a little bit of cash with the Limited Edition as it contains Game Add-on token redeemable on Xbox LIVE for the first Alan Wake add-on content pack
& exclusive Xbox disc with special content: Alan Wake Xbox Live Theme and Alan Wake Avatar for Xbox Live. Which would probably bump the cost up a decent amount if you were to get them separately.

I'm more partial to Alan Wake myself.

EDIT: I'm interested in fighting the darkness with a flashlight. That aspect really interests me.

No price difference.

I would get red dead, just because wild west really intrests me, but do you like GTA with wild west theame or alan wake *no idea what it's about*

I know next to nothing about Red Dead Redemption other than it's "GTA4 in the wild west". I'm more partial to survival horrors and "psychological action thrillers" anyway so another vote fro Alan Wake from me. You will probably get tons more playability out of RDR though as Alan Wake is meant to be pretty short.

Sweet, I broke the tie breaker.

RDR because of the wild westness of it. And it is cool. And it got a 9.75

RDR for me as it'll keep you occupied for a lot longer than Alan Wake. The online gameplay looks solid as does the single player =) The choice is made on a purely "potential game life" judgment =) both games look awesome

Re: Which Limited Edition Should I Pre-Order

Despite the polls results, i'm going to order Alan Wake, mainly because i saw a review for Red Dead Redemption, and i'm not so keen on getting it straight away, and often Limited Edition exclusive content isn't that brilliant, often they're not much of an advantage due to it's unfairness.

The Alan Wake gameplay looks boring.

I personally would have got the RD:R LE. Mainly because I don't like the look of Alan Wake. That's biased though.

^ truth.
the fault with asking people here (which i'm guilty of myself) is that we're all gonna vote for the game that we personally like better. heed drakan's advice, if anything.

What review did you read to make you NOT want to get it straight away? Lowest score ive seen so far out of 3 reviews is 9/10, scored 9.75/10, 10/10 and 9/10. Still awaiting the internet reviews though.

It was not the overall score that changed my mind but simply the review it self. The review was positive, but it's pros didn't appeal to me.

I think it was gamespot that reviewed it

Re: Which Limited Edition Should I Pre-Order

I think red dead redemption is the best choice to go with.I preordered red dead redemption cos u get all the extra's e.g golden guns, war horse, and deadly assassin costume plus a soundtrack.
