Gears Of War

I was just wondering what everyone thought of this game? It would be by far the best game out on the 360 at current. Replay value is definately there. I finished the game in about 9 hours on casual difficulty, But the way i see it is that casual was just a taste, you go to hardcore for the real experience. Apparently it is going to be a trilogy so ill be looking forward to Gears 2 & 3.

Re: Gears Of War

I'm wondering why this game is retailing so cheap?

Most 360 games are $99 to $120 but I picked up the collectors edition for $84!

I wondered the same thing myself. The cost price for the standard edition is $69.57 & cost for the Collectors Edition is $78.09.

I took home a copy of the Collectors Edtn.

Maybe they knew the game was going to sell like mad on release and they could afford to have a lower margin compared to crap like Ninety Nine Nights that needed the $30 margin so they could get something back. Gears sold 1 million copies in its first week of release in the US.

Re: Gears Of War

Its MS game studios, over a million in less than 3 weeks so lower price. This in turn sells more of the wireless/wired headsets, more xbox live subscribers, more Xbox vision camera buyers to get that personal touch. By lowering the price they will make alot more money. EG: ea games I dont even bother with anymore, $110-$120 is ridiculous but I didnt even have to think about Gears of War purchase at $78.

Re: Gears Of War

Gotta agree about the other add ons - I need to buy a 12 month subscription / wireless headset and camera now.... Pity they dont bundle the complete set althogether at a discount....

Just noticed in my junk mail tonight - DSE Powerhouse has the wireless 360 steering wheel with game for $199.76 - sounds like a xmas present there..... for myself! (I had not realised they were available in Aus as yet)

Re: Gears Of War

Hey Impact. If you prefer EB they are doing the same thing. Project Gotham Racing reworked for use with the Wheel.
