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.

Nope I'm just going to go in the morning and see what I can get since I know they will not run out of regular versions ... also, as much as I want a Gears 3 toque, I would never wear it ... ever, lol. I'm sure I will be able to get a LE though. They are just saying MINIMUM 25 at each store to get hype up.

I don't think it's minimum man. There's a reason it's called Limited Edition. lol. Or else what's the point of telling you how many there are?

I don't think any of the paid-for skins are that great. And for reaching level 100, the gold omen skin looks very tacky. Imulsion is probably the most disappointing of the lot. The infected omen and Xbox skins look the best/most striking and I plan on having both :p

I highly disagree. But I do agree on the Gold Omen. It's like they didn't put any thought into it. Not really worth getting to lvl 100 for it. Anyway, here's the official site for the skins

It does say minimum on the BestBuy and Future Shop flyer... I think it's 15 for LE and 5 for Epic.

They would be crazy not to make a lot of them though, that's way more $$ for them since I bet the markup for the LE and Epic are huge.

One more sleep! (and another full day at work <_<)

I've already bought the season pass :p

Is it true they're charging $45 for all the weapon skins? Craziest DLC price I've ever heard of if true :blink:

Well that depends. I happen to think almost all of the paid-for skins are crap, so it would make no sense for me to buy every pack. But I might, at some point in the future, buy a couple of animated packs, which is just over 600 points, which isn't very much at all.

Wow.. started playing with 2 of my buddies .. the coop campaign.. WHAT A THRILL RIDE.. Gears 3 is soooo intense and feels so much better than previous gears in terms of control and gameplay. But the amazing part is that the action starts and it doesn't let go with jaw dropping moments starting right at the very beginning with first boss battle that leaves you yelling "Holy ****" and this is just act 1.

Unbelievable. What a ride this will be!

Yesterday evening, there were 16 of my friends connected: 12 of them had Gears 3 or two were waiting for the post to deliver it.

Some people I have not played with for more than one year showed up

We ended up in a private TDM match and we played for 2 hours: it has been ages since we had so much fun in a game. We truly had a blast.

Between Horde, the campaign and everything, I think that disc is going to be welded in the console for along time.

Got my Epic Edition in a while ago, was verry impressed with the Build Quality of the Addins with exception of the Marcus Statue, feels to " Cheap ", the Statue for Halo Reach was a higher Quality then the Marcus. if you want i can put up more pics when i get home and can spread things out easier

the Case for the gamethough is awsome, its a Rubbery Felt Like Big Case that holds the COG Award, with the Game Case (Case has dog tag on front and clear except for the tag ) + Aditional stuff. seems verry sturdy. well together built ( except marcus statue )

love the game apart from the roadie run - which makes me feel sick, i think they need to tone the camera sway down just a tad on that

I had some motion sickness

where the ship is being attacked and it is swaying left and right

. I made it to Act II Chapter 2, and I believe that is where I will have to stop for the day. It's utter insanity though and I've loved it so far.

The one negative thing though is, are they using pre-rendered videos for some of the cut scenes? I've seen a few that aren't really HD and full of artifacts, but I wasn't sure if it was the engine itself.

Yes, just like they did in Bulletstorm. It's extremely annoying to the eye and ear, IMO. It's obviously been fairly heavily compressed, and the sound is at a lower level than the standard cutscenes and in-game music/noises.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
