Gears Of War

supafly · **27th November 2006, 02:01 PM**

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.

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.

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.

Gears is awesome on Live too.

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)

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