Red Dead Redemption: Apparently A Pretty Big Hit Then.

Seems we underestimated the situation though — unless you've pre-ordered the game, prepare to have a fun weekend hunting out a copy. It's nowhere to be found.

GAME and HMV are reporting that they've sold out of PS3 copies of the game, while Tesco and Asda aren't even stocking it. Additionally, Amazon have run out of their PS3 allocation, with the only available copy costing £54.99 from Amazon's market-place service. We checked into our local GameStation at around 12:30PM this afternoon and were told that their entire PS3 allocation had been depleted - with them barely managing to cover pre-orders.

Manufacturing problems are being blamed for the massive shortage.

Have you, dear reader, had any problems with your pre-order of Red Dead Redemption?
