GameStop's One-Hour Red Dead Redemption Sale Falls Flat

Who wants Red Dead Redemption for $23.99? Enough people to crash GameStop’s web page, foiling the company’s attempt to feature the game as this week’s Power Hour deal. GameStop’s weekly Power Hour deals are generally the source of some pretty good video game bargains.

The choices were UFC 2010 for $23.99, Pokémon HeartGold or SoulSilver for $15.99 apiece, or Red Dead Redemption for $23.99. The winner, delivered last night via the GameStop Facebook page, was Red Dead Redemption. What was supposed to happen next was a one-hour sale, starting at 11AM Central time, during which visitors to GameStop.com could purchase an amazingly cheap copy of Red Dead Redemption while supplies lasted.
