*** OFFICIAL Gears of War on XBOX 360 Thread *** (1 Viewer)

When you buy a 360 it comes with a headset.
true, some do and Otis don't you still need to pick up the system? I bought the basic.
no offense but you should have bought the premium, IMO.By the time you get the headset and memcard you are = premium.The memcard won't hold as much as the HDD either.See if you can return it :)SO anyone else picking up the system get the premium. just my :02:
I guess I have been totally been missing out for the past 4 months by NOT getting the premium.f'n X-box snobs. I knew I should have stuck to the warm conforts of Sony. ;)
The best thing about the hard drive is the Marketplace. I have about 8 demos on my HD with about 200 songs as well. Nothing like playing some Madden while listening to your own music. I also use the Media Center function and stream more songs & movies from my PC. I love this thing.
 
check this article out..

A teen patron attempting to purchase a copy of Microsoft's eagerly awaited, "Gears of War" was assaulted while waiting in line at a local Gamestop Video Game store. The 15 year-old was beaten by a 36 year-old waiting in line, also. Apparently, an argument ensued after the cashier claimed there were no more copies available. The 36 year-old named "Deion" started yelling and tried to cut in line in an attempt to purchase the last copy and a brawl started. The older customer sent a barrage of fists and harsh language at the younger patron. The police were then called. "Deion" was arrested for aggravated assault and is currently awaiting arraignment at a local correctional facility. The 15 year-old was taken to a local hospital for several wounds to the head and neck. The final copy of the game is being held as evidence.

 
Ive been playing on and off since last night. Havent played online yet, but the single player is unreal. Havent enjoyed a game this much since Call of Duty 2. FWIW.

 
im going to be recruiting you fools for co-op as well.

so play well and you can get called up to the Big Leagues!

 
Some poeple don't like the cinematics. I think they are VERY well done. They add tons of drama to the situation. Marcus Fenix is a badass!

My gamertag is "II Dykstra II"

This game is SO sick. I only played up past the Berserker then had to hit the sack for work, but I can't wait to get home and get back to GOW.

Hammer of Dawn rocks BTW.

 
hey usual, can you update the first post with everyones tags?

makes it easier than having to search the thread (and maybe make this the official GoW thread complete with the necessary ***)

I'm a snob? I have a PS2 also :) I didn't relaize you had it that long. I was just trying to say since you will be buying a memcard and headset = almost the same as buying the premium.My bad.

:jealous:Wait for this game to come out and then I need to leave for a business trip today until Sunday. :cry: Sunday night though, oh . . .Sunday night.
 
In jersey, us teachers have the next two days off for the teachers conference in AC. so I will be basically playing this non-stop for 4 days. See you online.

I have a PS2 also. Haven't touched it since God of War. Thinking about picking up Guitar Hero 1 & 2. Everyone I talk to say that these games are soooo much fun.

It's pretty much my stepsons now. We will be getting a PS3 at some point I'm sure.And for some reason he has off this whole week for Conferences. Wish I had to stay home with him ;)

I'm really contemplating camping out for a PS3 next week in order to sell it on eBay. They're going for 1500 already.

Ohtis - Costco has some good bundles - I was considering purchasing the $499 one that does not come with a game. They also have one for GOW that I just found

Thanks RR -- are these packages the way to go?? Lazy Otis certainly likes the idea of one-stop-shopping.
I'm in the same boat as you, and Costco apparently has a nice return policy too in the event the system has problems.

I'm tempted to get the package with the game included above. I can't figure out what the difference is between that package and the other package without the game (which is just ten bucks cheaper). It looks like it just may not include the 1 year subscription to XBOX live? (which I think is like a $60 item?)

the difference is.. with the game package you get a one month subscription to live gold.. without it you get a year subscription but no game.get the one with the game and dont look back, it has everything you need to get you setup and playing with us :nerds: tonight.

you can buy a 1 year subscription off ebay for $30-35

That's the only difference I saw. One comes with the full year subscription - the other has the game.
 
Took lunch at best buy and picked up GOW as they were putting it out, 230 can't come fast enough. :banned:

 
i read that walmart had a bunch..

if eb doesnt have any - that is inexcusable.. they are a game speciality store they should be bursting at the seams with the game

 
update - not that anyone cares.

My game left from Tenn this morning and went to Virginia.

Left Virgina on it's way to NJ at 2:00. WTH?

:lol:

the brick and mortar EB stores never seem to have enough games at release (only preorders). I am surprised they stay in business.The online store, that is a whole other story. I sent an email trying to cancel the order. The whole point of preordering and paying for overnight shipping is so I could get the game Day 1 and not have to drive all over Northern NJ in search of it. So much for that thought (and good thing its raining today). The adventure begins shortly.
