:woot:

So much gaming these next few weeks... Gears of War 3, The Gunstringer, Fruit Ninja Kinect, Worms 2 DLC... man, I wish I didn't have to write a 50-page paper by October for a grad school class. :laugh:

Haha, so glad I finished all of my coursework last year :laugh: .

Reviews are looking good across the board. Only read through two of them in their entirety (Destructoid's review and Ars Technica's review). I don't want to risk running into spoilers for a game that I have had pre-ordered ever since the beta.

First 45mins. with IGN Commentary

There might/will be spoilers here. Even I avoided watching it. The suspense is killing me. 4 Days to go.

Gamestop Now Playing Gears 3

Need not mention there might/will be spoilers here.

wow nice reviews, is it coming out a couple of days early maybe? would be nice to have it for the weekend...

Some random no name shops broke the street date, however its very unlikely your local shop will (going by shops here anyway!). If you see no problem with downloading a game early you pre-ordered then its been out there for over a week now...

Just ordered Epic Edition, I was going to order the standard one but the Marcus's statue had me sold and it would look really cool sitting right next to my Halo Reach statue

I am hopefully getting the EE aswell. :D

1 Hour of Horde mode.

^unfortunately, Best Buys over here in Canada don't have Pre orders for limited/special editions but they have on standard copies. I have to line up early (since no Midnight Madness) to upgrade to EE that day.

240 MSP for a skin set (all 5 weapons) if it's not animated

320 MSP for an animated set

1200 MSP for a specific weapon collection (ie: all lancers, all hammerbursts, etc)

3600 MSP for the whole set (all 22 with some small discount)

I dunno.. Sooo freaking expensive. Not sure if want at all.

Yeah, those prices are a bit high. That being said, the rainbow skin looks awfully tempting, if only because it reminds me of that Penny-Arcade comic from a few years ago. I definitely won't be getting the full collection though. If my math is correct, I think that's roughly $51.40 CDN.

Indeed I will be doing the same, since I want a Limited Edition (not Epic). Hopefully they have a lot of them.

Did you Pre-order? You can get a Gears 3 Toque , 800 Rewardzone points and Mechanic Baird! Not to mention you might also get a Gears 3 T-Shirt if you're in line. Remember only 25LEs and 15EEs at each store.

I'm not buying the whole bundle. Maybe just one or 2 of the animated sets. Which are around $4 each that should come to $8 for 10 weapon skins, but 2 sets.

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
