Thanks to all that joined in to celebrate the recent release of the Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition at our Social Club multiplayer event held Friday October 14th from 4-7PM Eastern on PSN. We kicked off a big Triple XP weekend with three full action-packed hours of Myths and Mavericks, Undead Overrun, Grab The Bag, Gang Shootout and much more.

Our special guest for the session tagging along for some rounds of gunslinging in our live streaming broadcast was our friend on Twitter, bloguiero Lucas Thomé from São Paulo – who prepared properly with some training before the event…

Congrats to Social Club member Andaasonsan who won the grand prize limited-edition set of Red Dead Redemption PlayStation 3 controllers in the event sweepstakes. And also to runner-up winners RamzKilla, Spiderman1027, kckaos, newsense2004, Coldair, BeerHead, Philsy, SUBLIMEtimothy, stewiegriffin200, Siander_Takashi, packerbacker004, dan01027, xmenrvd, palancar, johnsos3, beast__, hale89, Austinsgrandpa, 1337Pilot and DocGorff who scored Rockstar Prize Packs with an official t-shirt and stickers.

And also a special shout to Social Club member ahetFIN who was able to record some nice videos of the rounds on PSN, capturing some Gang Shootout in Nekoti Rock, Undead Overrun in Undead Django and even some Grand Prix Horse Racing in Carrera del Diablo:

Nice one. If any others have recorded video from the event, feel free to drop them in the comments below.

Here’s some of our screens from the session, featuring just a few of the many memorable moments:

And here’s our roll call of all those in attendance according to our records. If you think we’ve left someone out, as always please feel free to let us know.

If you still have yet to experience the unique blend of breathtaking action and true detective work that is L.A. Noire on your console of choice, today we’re pleased to announce that L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition, in addition to being made available for PC, is coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this November.

Similar to its PC counterpart, L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition on consoles will feature all of the previously released DLC including the “Nicholson Electroplating” Arson case, the “Reefer Madness” Vice case, “The Consul’s Car” Traffic case, “The Naked City” Vice case and “A Slip of the Tongue” Traffic case – as well as the Badge Pursuit Challenge and all weapons and outfits released to date.

Developed by Team Bondi in conjunction with Rockstar Games, L.A. Noire is a crime thriller set in post World War II Los Angeles. As Detective Cole Phelps, players must search for clues, interrogate suspects and chase down criminals to solve a series of cases inspired by real world incidents. As he rises through the ranks of the LAPD, Phelps comes face-to-face with the corrupt heart of Los Angeles: from fallen starlets to double-dealing police officers and the vast reaches of the criminal underworld – and finally, the darkness of his own personal demons.

Look for it on store shelves in North America on November 15th and in Europe & Australia on November 18th.
