More On: Red Dead Redemption
Despite your personal feelings about Rockstar Games, you have to admit that they are continually trying new things with video games. Rockstar has announced that if you pre-order Red Dead Redemption at Gamestop, you will be able to vote over which one of three in-game outfits you can earn. 

Here's the skinny: players will complete a set of in-game challenges.  If successful, they will be awarded with a special outfit.  That outfit will uniquely affect how the surrounding world responds to their in-game character.

The voting thus allows you to decide which outfit and which responses will be made to the character once those challenges are completed. I'm sure that there won't be too much of a difference in the world's reactions and this is probably just setting players up for a Red Dead Redemption DLC with the other two outfits. 

Let your opinion about this be made known by leaving a comment.
