Update: Red Dead Redemption can be pre-loaded before launch. Follow the instructions provided by Danny Crewdson and you’ll be able to pre-load it right now. You just have to follow him on Xbox Live and go to his games. That should transport you to the Red Dead Redemption page which should let you download the title if you own it digitally.
Red Dead Redemption has been a requested backward compatibility title for months now and while it was backward compatible for awhile due to an error, now we have an official announcement.
