Rockstar's DLC Plans For Red Dead Redemption
I keep getting distracted by sidequests, so I'm still working my way through the mammoth undertaking that is Red Dead Redemption, but Rockstar has revealed some plans to keep the rest of you playing the game through DLC. Four packs of add-on material are planned for release over the next few months, beginning with the Legends and Killers Pack at the beginning of August, and building to the Red Dead Redemption 'Undead Nightmare' Pack this fall. And don't forget the free Outlaws to the End Co-Op Mission Pack is already available.
"We want to continue to provide Red Dead Redemption's fans with a steady supply of innovative new content," said Sam Houser, founder of Rockstar Games. "Our goal is to continue to pack as much entertaining gameplay and as many surprises as we can into the massive world of Red Dead Redemption over the coming months."
The Legends and Killers Pack will feature nine new maps and eight new playable characters, the Liars and Cheats Pack has multiplayer versions of mini-games like Liars Dice and Poker, the Free Roam Pack deepens the free roam challenges with new modes and gang hideouts, and the Undead Nightmare Pack is just what you'd expect, with ghost towns and zombies. I'll put the details from the press release with pricing info (for the ones that have it) after the jump!

If you ask me, zombies are like bacon and cheese: They're good on anything but are bad for your health.
I think I must be one of the few people that has zero interest in free roam or multiplayer. I loved this game, but most of the new content seems geared towards those two things. The zombie one sounds awesome, though!
the link to email this to other people simply doesn't work. this is a problem you may want to look into.
