Really? I thought Sam Peckinpah was from California. Maybe you mean John Huston? Nope. Missouri.

John Ford too.

But Leone really reinvigorated the genre.

Mmm, Peckinpah was great, too.

My trio of favorite Westerns: The Wild Bunch, Once Upon a Time in the West, and the Ballad of Cable Hogue.

Only one I haven't seen is Major Dundee. Based on the rest of the movies in that list, I will have to remedy that.
Could have mixed some Ford and Hawkes in there though.

For those of you who pre-ordered this from Amazon: Will they send you a code for the $20 promotional gift card electronically or a tangible card in a separate shipment? The only promotions I've ever received are the immediate credits applied to the account.

I was kind of expecting the card with the shipment, but no go.

If it is $20 toward your next purchase, it will be attached to your account and automatically deduct from your next eligible purchase.

Correction: apparently this is just an early unlock key for something you'll be able to earn through gameplay anyway (same goes for all the retailer-specific preorder DLC), and only the unlock key is PS3-exclusive, not the content itself.

Yeah, I know. I've received lots of the promotional credits, but never a promotional "gift card."
