Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption is undoubtedly an anticipated game, and after having already released in North America on Tuesday, it’s now up to the release in the UK tomorrow, May 21st, to ensure that the game continues to be a true global hit.

According to Amazon.co.uk, this won’t be a problem, as the company has announced that Red Dead Redemption is currently its biggest selling pre-order in the category of videogames for the year so far.

Director of Video Games at Amazon.co.uk Ltd Chris Poad enthused:

“This is undoubtedly the most hotly anticipated video game of the year so far. Demand has risen significantly over the last week as excitement and buzz around the game has built, making it one of the most successful titles we have seen on Amazon.co.uk this year before it has even been released.”

As of the time of writing, Red Dead Redemption currently holds two positions at the top of Amazon UK’s list of best-selling PC and video games, with the Xbox 360 version and number one and the PS3 version at number two. The limited edition PS3 version of the game occupies the fourth spot on the list, while Ubisoft’s Wii title, Just Dance, separates the bunch by squatting at number three.
