You went to the midnight launch to pick up the megafantasticalepic edition or maybe you stayed at home to wait for it to be delivered to your house/flat/cave OR possibly went and picked it up from the store Tuesday morning, either way, there’s an essential piece of gamers equipment that wasn’t included in any of the Gears of War 3 packages.
If you already have a slim Xbox 360 and are fanatical about Gears of War 3, there’s an alternative to buying another console and especially if you’re not bothered about the extra hard drive space. Calibur11 have designed a ‘vault’ which is a ‘interactive case’ that saves you £200 compared to if you bought the Special Edition console, but with the difference that it’s not just a skin on a standard console, it does actually serve a purpose.
Not sure of validity of the claim that the Vice President of Epic Games really did post a comment on BeingNerdy.com’s Gears of War review since, as someone pointed out in the comments, if it really was him, it would have all been handled via emails.

It seems Rockstar started a new trend by offering DLC at a reduced price when bought altogether, including future content for L.A. Noire and now Microsoft are doing the same for Gears of War 3.

“Gears of War 3” is the spectacular conclusion to one of the most memorable and celebrated sagas in video games. Developed by Epic Games exclusively for Xbox 360, “Gears of War 3” plunges players into a harrowing tale of hope, survival and brotherhood. In “Gears of War 3,” players fight on as Marcus Fenix, the grizzled war hero and leader of Delta Squad. Eighteen months after the fall of the last human city in “Gears of War 2,” the war against the Locust rages on, but a new enemy has emerged.
For those of you playing the Gears of War 3 beta, if you’re waiting for your friends to get a code and join you, but they’re either not having any luck blagging one from websites and Twitter or haven’t pre-ordered from places like GAME.co.uk who gave out codes for buying Bulletstorm. If you have a favourite or ‘special’ friend that you want to play with in the beta, as long as you’ve played one game in the beta, you will receive a ‘buddy token’ to give to that special friend who will then be able to join you from May 8th as that’s when the ‘Never Fight Alone’ phase starts.
