I'm a huge Gears fan and Wow, really disappointed. I guess they built up the hype to much, this is what Epic employees are going out to pre-order so that they don't miss it? Weak.
@IV Backstab MC: $59.99 Regular, $79.99 Limited Edition and $149.99 for the Epic Edition. These are all U.S. dollar amounts mind you.
These extras are cool, but I just don't have room for this kind of stuff anymore. My Legendary Edition of Reach is all still sitting in the box it was shipped to me in, under my desk (minus the actual game case, of course).
I'll get the 80$ edition since I have the limited editions for Gears 1 and Gears 2. Then I'll have all 3 LEs.
Uh..... Gears.... but the funny thing is that Im looking kind of forward to this one. Mainly for the campaign tho, but there's tons of gameplay so im happy.
So I guess because there is a Code to play Adam Fenix for multiplayer I guess he will be in the game.
Unless there's some hefty weapon balancing, more control scheme options and better match making in the final game then I think I'm tapped out on Gears' multiplayer. Do want to do the single player still of course, and all the fluff in the Epic edition does look mighty tasty... but a hundred quid for a game that to me is likely only going to be a short single player experience with little replay value (never cared enough to replay Gears 1 or 2 single player, doubt this will be any different) is a bit rich for me, even with all the nice goodies. £75 and I'd have been sold.
@fear no darkness, nah, just having to resort to xbl for a few weeks has given me a whole new insight into the apparently "amazing" games on the system.

Sounds quite nice, especially the medal.
I love special editions that provide things that you might not expect to find in a special edition, like Fallout 3's lunchbox or Bioshock 2's vinyl record of the soundtrack of Bioshock 1.

the extras seem kinda cool, if i was a gears fan I probably would've gone for the limited edition. That said, I'll wait until they release all 3 gears games together in one collection, and then I'll have the whole story to play through, from start to finish.
oh, cool. more useless trinkets to clutter my room with. as much as i hate all this shit, i'm gonna buy it. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
@ SC.
Just teasin' ya boyo, but Gears is not overrated my friend. Halo? Maybe. I don't see the allure either, but to each his own.

@Fear, I've been playing the Gears 3 beta for the last week or so, and while it is fun, it's not quite the "GODGAME" people make it out to be.
Needs moar guns.
Seriously, just using the Retro lancer and Gnasher all the time can get boring.
But don't get me wrong, it is fun and I look forward to playing the full game....

Turned out I had a bunch of money off with Game. For only £20 more than the game by itself, figured I might as well. So the Epic Edition is MINE, ALL MIIIINE!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!
Nah fo' reals y'all, see you in September. Gonna chainsaw y'all up nice and good.

Big fan of the Gears series, but an extra 70 dollars for the statue, weapon skins, and book? No thanks. Although collectors will say the statue itself is probably worth the extra cash alone, I'll point them to what happened to my Master Chief head from Halo 3. I will stick to the Limited Edition.
@ SC. Hm, Gears is my competitive multiplayer game of choice so my opinion is biased, but haha yeah I could see that if you're more used to CoD or whatnot, but that's why there are Power Weapons. ;) Also, try changing up your starting weapons and mix and match a bit.
I wish the Limited edition had the artbook. Also, why is it £20 extra in the UK? That's fucking bullshit!

"Seriously, just using the Retro lancer and Gnasher all the time can get boring."
Then you should pick up some of the other weapons. There are like 15 in the game.
Not every game has to be a military FPS, my man, nor should they be.

Eh, I'm officially out of room for this stuff, so I'll have to be a bit more cautious about which crazy editions I buy. Duke Nukem is a given, and I may just wait and pick up the Epic Edition in a few months when they inevitably drop in price like every other CE I paid full price for at launch.
If I can afford it I'd like to pick up the Epic version. That Marcus Fenix statue looks awesome.
I found that in all honesty this has been from a multiplayer standpoint the best Gears game yet.

I'm more about horde mode. Beast mode will probably be pretty slick too. I'll be getting the regular edition at best, but I have to say that having the code engraved on the cog sounds neat.
Gears of war online is fun, but not as fun as uncharted 2. And if they improve on uncharted 3 multiplayer than dayumm, forget about gears online!

don't worry, he's still shaking off the PS3 haterade. It may take a few years but...
@ SC
I have to echo Andy's statements. There are plenty of weapons if you know where to look though having a huge variety isn't what the games about. It's about using teamwork to skillfully dispatch your foes with said weapons.
And you complain about Gears 3....just be happy Gears 3 is your first.,,the last two games didn't have the Retro & Sawed Off.

I feel like our boy Dan wants every game to be a pseudo-realistic military shooter... which would explain why he likes the PS3's exclusives so much.
Say what you will about the 360's exclusive shooters, but at least they're different than the majority of what is on the market. It's tough to find a game like Halo or Gears that doesn't have the word Halo or Gears in the title, after all...

I've had the preorder for the mega epic boner edition for a few months, it's nice that we finally know what's in it.
Ive had to tell Mrs.Bakewell we hold off having another child so we still have space for all the trinkets.
She was not pleased.

@Bakewell damn, that's pure DEDICATION lol
I'm definitely getting the Epic edition. Can't wait for this to come out. SCREW MW3.

Damn right. I will gladly forsake my genetic legacy for a flag, a medal and a statue of Marcus Fenix

Please don't molest the Marcus figure like you did with the Two Worlds 2 figure Jim... I enjoy eating my lunch :(
Looks like there are some exclusive preorder character skins depending on where you buy it. The LE looks good, I might try to hunt up another $20 for it. The medal and Adam Fenix character.
Eh. Time to cancel my Epic Edition preorder. I was hoping for another weapon replica or something for $150. A statue, a flag, a paperweight, and some MP skins just aint gonna cut it.
