Gears of War 2

Gears of War 2 ''Legendary'' Edition?
Written Sunday, July 27, 2008 By Alan Pettit
View author's profile

Another piece of news from the Gears panel at Comicon: there may be a Halo-esque, espensive-as-hell edition of Gears that includes a replica mini-lancer, much like the cat helmet we've all come to love from Halo's Legendary edition. No actual name was given to the third planned edition, nor has it been oficially confimed by Microsoft, but it was mentioned to be real and priced at $130 by one of the Gears panelists.

I'll buy this one over the collector's only if it comes with the regular game case like Halo 3 did. I hate those stupid tins.

I'm not even getting the game period. The first one was way too overrated and got old pretty fast. Though I did enjoy it for a week or two.

Wow, I don't know if I find this worth getting. For Halo 3 it was because I love Halo, but Gears I'm not sure about. Well once there are more details I might decide.

Well considered that the Halo Legendary edition is now $70 at Gamestop on a good day, I think that I will wait and just buy the collectors edition!

MISUNDERSTOOD.

$130 for Replica Lancer available at Amazon soon.
And a small lancer with the Limited Edition.

No Legendary Pack boys.

I thought about getting the limited edition just for the golden lancer alone, but then I thought, "am I really gonna spend $10 more just for that?" I believe my days of collecting Limited/Collectors editions of games is over, or atleast until I graduate college and get a stable job.

I will purchase this depending on what it all comes with... if its only then the gun it would depend on how "big" it would be. Also depends on what the whole thing looks like with real pictures... but chances are high that I'll just stick with the collector's since this is almost twice the price of that.

I looked for it in the play-asia shop but it doesn't say anything yet. But as soon as it does I will pre-order this one for sure.

Given that a regular "newer" game costs about $90 in Germany and the BF: Bad Company Gold Edition already costs $125 here, $130 for a great game and a lancer doesn't seem to much.

after buying the Halo3 "limited" edition helmet for £60 only to see it drop to £30 in the shops (you can still buy it my local gamestation) i'll be passing on this and going for the other tin version which'll go nice next sandwiched between my GOW and Mass Effect tins.

this sounds sweet... but I'd rather have GoW2 and Fallout 3 rather than just GoW2 and a really sweet kick-ass mini-lancer... actually I changed my mind I'd like the GoW2 Legendary Edition with the lancer... lol!!!!!!!!!!
