ok I'll put my .02cents in.
I snagged a copy with our gamefly account. I'll certainly be buying it when I can spare $50
I just finished the game last night after playing a few hours nearly everyday for the past couple weeks.
Definitely the best rockstar game ever made. The story kept you interested and all the side games and challenges will keep the replay value alive. I found myself fixated on the challenges after I completed Mexico. So before I played out the Blackwater stories I completed the hunting, survival and all the sharpshooter sans the final one.
I am still unable to get the 6 enemy disarms without reloading or changing firearms.
I love taking out bears in tall trees with the Carcano Rifle
I did sort of cheat and use this video to help with the treasure hunting for all of them following the 3rd.

You can make cash quick with bears and buffalo using that method.
Also I found the campsite in your kit to be VITAL to playing the game without being put off by all the horseback riding. You can travel to anywhere via a campsite as well as save anywhere.
Is anyone still playing? If so I would enjoy meeting up for some coop play in mutliplayer
