L.A. Noire pre-order treats will be DLC

Ditto Red Dead Redemption, finally.

Don't fancy pre-ordering L.A. Noire but worried you'll miss out on the various shop-offered early-bird goodies?

Rockstar has revealed they'll be sold as downloadable additions after launch - as will the Read Dead Redemption pre-order goodies at long last.

"All of the L.A. Noire pre-order content will be made available for purchase as DLC at some point after the game comes out," wrote Rockstar on its website.

"We have long planned to do this for all digital pre-order items.

"In case you're interested," the post added, "the Red Dead Redemption pre-order items (Deadly Assassin Outfit, Golden Guns Weapon Pack and War Horse) will finally be available for download via Xbox Live and PlayStation Network this April. Apologies that has taken so long, but we ran into some technical issues."

L.A. Noire can be pre-ordered from a variety of shops, each dangling a different piece of bonus bait before you.
