Gamers that missed out on pre-ordering Rockstar's smash Red Dead Remption will finally be able to purchase in-game bonuses that were previously reserved for preorders - and Rockstar has promised a much quicker turnaround for LA Noire.

From next week, three extra Red Dead Redemption DLC items will be available for download via Xbox Live and Sony's Playstation Network.

They are, namely, the Deadly Assassin Outfit, the Golden Guns Weapon Pack and the War Horse, each available for 99 US cents but almost a year late.

The game has been a runaway hit, averaging a  95% on both review aggregate websites Metacritic and GameRankings, and selling millions of copies worldwide.

Rockstar has thankfully come to the party with an update that seems not very 'rockstar' at all, rather down to earth and sensible.

'Apologies to everyone for having to wait so long to get these available as DLC as there were some unanticipated technical delays - for those of you inquiring about the expected availability of the L.A. Noire preorder bonuses as DLC after game release, those should become available as DLC much, much sooner.'
