Oh well, like you said I just heard about it somewhere...I don't really care tbh. I just want the game to play and have some good ol times on xbl... :D

I'm just supporting the game that I love most. This game has brought me many good times and sadly has helped me when I've been down emotionally. This is a game that deserves to be Limited Edition and is worth the $73.50 I've already paid off just as the first Gears of War was.

I will be attending the Midnight Launch as well and want to be first to get my copy and get home quickly.

It was 'Preordered' an hour or so ago. If they send it early enough tomorrow I may still be able to get it on Thursday. It's happened once before, anyway. It depends how they decide to send it. I won't be holding my breath though lol.

I really doubt it tbh, Play aren't the speediest of e-tailers. They can be very random though as I've ordered from them one day and received my purchase the next day. Other times orders have come a day late and longer.

I've never had a package arrive late, but as I said, they have sent at least one game on next-day recorded delivery so it's not completely impossible :p

They do next-day recorded now? Since when?

I bought my PS3 triggers from them, posted today apparently so I'm interested to see how long it takes.

Sorry, not recorded, I meant I could track it. I didn't have to sign for it, but I could follow it through the various depots overnight.

Not sure how many people have heard about this, but I just saw it on 1Up.com. Circuit City has a sweet deal going on for people that pre-order Gears of War 2. You get a free 1600 MS Point card for pre-ordering the game. I just got off the phone with them (took like 20mins because i could barely understand the guy i was talking to). Anyway, here's the links:

Definitely worth it for those that haven't pre-ordered the game yet.

does anyone know that is the Horde mode only on live? Can you do a co-op Horde mode offline?

I think you can, just head to LAN mode and start horde from there (Just a guess) but I'll ask my friends anyway, a couple of them got it early and saw them playing last night :wacko:

I'm tempted to sell my Wii to put towards a 360 for this game and Left4Dead.

That would be a wise choice. I sold my Wii about 6 months ago and haven't regretted it one bit. Of course, it does help when you have 360 and PS3 lol

If you buy the Limited Edition it comes with a code to redeem that grants you access to the golden Lancer for multiplayer usage.

**EDIT**

I asked one of my friends who got it early and said you can start horde mode offline.

Hey guys I have another question, what time do you guys usually go for Midnight Releases? And does it matter if you pre-ordered or not? I still don't see the point of pre-ordering if you stand in line and ARE going to get the game anyway..

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      By zikalify · Posted

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
