CONTEST: frank21_1981 wins Gears of War (Xbox 360)!

[bickman2k]

Well, I'm 23, married with a kid, buying a Wii, just went with a used HDTV and getting ready to start paying off school loans. Plus saving for a house, paying off other bills and other fun things suck.

[Lieutenant Dan]

I'm too cheap to buy Gears of War because I spent all my savings on those legs I got at the end of Forest Gump. And Forest forced me out of our shripin' business.

[Alcedes]

i'm asian so i get motion sickness. I'll make the exception if i win though and suffer through any consequences...

[dailo]

Eh not gonna play it enough. Game is so short!

[SoulReaver]

No 360 yet, but planning to get one soon. Winning this will convince me to get it.

[MrBrando]

not only am I too cheap to buy this game I'm too cheap to even buy a next gen console for the fact $55-$60 is too much to pay for games. I don't even buy current gens for below $30. If I were to win this game though it would certainly be a nudge to get a 360, at least I'd have an awesome game to play whilst waiting for Oblivion to go down in price.

[DRGJ]

I cant afford to because I support a family.

[Bathory]

I should win because I haven't won anything....

[kpprior]

I still can't justify paying $60 for a game...I can't remember the last game I bought for more than $25.

[Jimbo Slice]

I need a copy of my own but I'm trying to afford a PS3 (to actually keep, believe it or not)! I've been playing my brothers.

[rishiraja]

I am too cheap to buy this game because there is no way in hell I would pay $60 for just a game. I always wait till games drop in price before I get interested.

[62t]

i spent all my money thanks to this site

[maxwellhouse]

Because I'm lazy.

[SkyGheNe]

because i just bought a laptop...and DDD...and wii...and x360...

sigh

so much money...

[cdeener]

I would like to win a free copy so that I can save my money towards a Wii purchase.

[Litigation_Jackson]

College. Nuff said.

[jacobv]

I buy used............

[williams90]

I'm too cheap to buy this game because... I have a wife and that screws up all of your purchasing decisions.

[OzCatter]

Because I'm paying for my braces finally getting off after 4 years, and I dont even have enough money for ramen

[kvadair]

Too cheap to buy this game, before Amazon came around with their $100 Xbox 360 deal I was too cheap to buy the system!

[jam86]

why pay $60, when I can have a 1 in a million chance in winning it for free

[akanoid]

just got my 360, now I need games

[greedycheese]

I was not too cheap to buy gears but my deadbeat brother is. This copy would go to him and much co-op would be played, oh yes, much co-op.

[DarinIsAwesome]

College. You know?

[coolpapa]

I've been waiting to get a cheap 360... and a cheap GOW. Who can afford $60 for a game nowadays?

[tsg2005]

cuz im spending all my money on WII and PS3 stuff 8-)

[I AM WILLIAM H. MACY]

I am too cheap to pay $60 goddamn dollars for a game, if you cannot accept that I'm sorry, but this is Cheap Ass Gamer.com

[tempwoh]

Because I spent the rest of my money on 360 stuff for my brother.

[FrankTheFrowner]

Because I just spent $500 on a Zune and a Wii, and I didn't even buy any extra games or accessories yet!

[***J***]

Been buying expensiveass books for college.

[Ub3rChief]

*cries*

I need to buy a new PC and I already bought Call of Duty 3. Plus, my XBL subscription is coming up for renewal, so that's another $50 down the drain.

[Sporadic]

I'm too cheap to buy Gears Of War because I bought Saints Row and Tony Hawk Project 8 from Play-Asia for $48 shipped after I used my referral money.

It was either Gears Of War or SR/TH8

[NateWhs152]

Because I Spent all my money at the new sonic that just opened down the street

[NateWhs152]

Because I have spent all my money at a new Sonic Burger that just opened

[Longshot]

I'm too cheap to buy this admittedly great-looking game because I have two kids, a ton of bills, and also because my 31st birthday is coming up November 30th and i'm hoping I'll win it as a birthday present. Pleeeeease! ;)

Sporadic, you made a great choice, in my humble opinion.

[smdtherock]

I want gears@!!! I'm too cheap because my gf takes all my money!

[AnthonySC430]

I'am too cheap to buy this game because i compare every FPS to halo 2 and i've been dissapointed because i love halo 2 so much.. plus i just spent 4 grand for someones spot online in NY at the sony store for a ps3

and i have cancer and am dying??..(maybe that lie was a bit too much).

you know what.. i don't even think i wanna win this game..( Yeah that's it!, if you say you don't want it than you'll have to win)

[Korny]

Because I don't believe any game is worth $50 let alone $60-70...

[anadune]

I'm too cheap because I'm training to be a teacher!

[slappynutz]

I'm too cheap because I'm poor and live in NYC. So I can barely afford ramen.

[cueball939]

Just rented this one and it is AMAZING! Its making all my friends want to go out and get 360's because of how beautiful it is! Great game!

[stratman71]

I need Gears of War to make my Cheap Ass car faster, (and it may motivate me to buy a 360!)

[Tvols1480]

I'm too cheap to buy Gears of War because I just bought F.E.A.R.!

[Kjermzs]

Because of Christmas. :bomb:

[rustyrage]

Because I'm a cheap ass and I only rented it.

[SoNiC1023]

Im to cheap to buy this game just because why else wouldnt I be on this site?

[Admiral Ackbar]

I don't want to buy it because it's a trap!

[Snoozer]

I dont NEED it, but should I win - I would gift it to someone on my christmas list.

[projecteightysix]

Because Zelda and Wii are more important... but I really want this.

Cheapy, I will send you a naked picture of myself if you let me win.

k thx.

[ster]

i'm too cheap to buy this game is because i have no job :(

[Doom Gaze]

Wii is coming out. DS releases are smushing me. School is too much time/money. I need to pay for Live. My 360 is too dusty.

I want it, but SIXTY DOLLARS? Games are supposed to be fifty dollars. Not sixty dollars.

I'm waiting for a price drop. Or winning it.

[allout1986]

Not too cheap to buy the game for myself, but too cheap to buy it for my friend. Hoping I win so I have a game to give for X-mas.

[Spybreak8]

I've played the game on the 360 and I think its awesome. I would like to share this experience as a gift for a friend.

[lanzarlaluna]

I have $32,000.00 in student loans through one year of school alone.

[Abalistar]

Full price for a video game? PFFT!

Add in the fact that I'm still 360less(free game for when I get one is nice), and I really need to get my credit card paid off and I need a laptop for when I move.

So limited monies for the gaming right now.

[CommanderKeen93]

Have to buy gifts for my siblings and parents, they are even cheaper than I.

[Cyberblood]

Im been always too cheap, cheap shoes, cheap shirts and i always wait at least two years or more to buy games or consoles so they become cheap too.
I dont even have a 360 yet, but i will be in front eat to get it for $100 in amazon.

So yeah, im soo cheap that i im even taking classes to become jew (for real, and they are free too, logically :lol:)

Also apologise my english, i learn it from playing burned videogames :roll: too cheap to pay for lesons.

[Slapyoself]

I want it so i can do LAN with my friends and I dont want to pay any extra.

[Brawly]

It is supposed to be the must have game for the 360......I don't have it.

[FlipSide]

Im too cheap because Im waiting for a used version on the next buy 2 get 1 free used games on EB/GS..

[DX_Psycho]

I am too cheap to buy this game because i don't have enough money for an HDTV. I can't unlock the potential of Gears of War.

How cheap am I? I don't even have an Xbox 360. I am too cheap to buy it for $100 off at microcenter. I am waiting and hoping I will be one of the 1000 who get to buy one on amazon.com on 11/23.

I am so cheap, that I am making my friends and family go on their comptuers and try to get one on amazon for $100 so i can get it from them.

so please complete my package. thank you.

[minqqq]

i'm goin to spend my excess cash on rebuying the 360. this would be perfect for my cheapass. /entered

[Zingela]

I spent all of my money on Wii game/accessory preorders. My poor 360 will have to wait a while for some Gears action (mm, Marcus).

[cyber_ninja_monkey]

because
i'm wasting all my cash on christmas gifts this year along side buying another 360

[alongx]

My cheapness comes from my desire to be able to afford to move sooner rather than later. Oh, and I still don't have a 360, but hopefully will by year's end.

[AZPunisher]

Contests rock, and I'm always down for free stuff.

I wanted to pick this up, but all my cash is sunk into getting my little brother a PS3. He's a cool little squirt, and goes out of his way to help others, so I'm hooking him up this year. :)

I'm an XBOX guy, so something new for me to play would kick ass.

[BWQ3A]

I can't because I'm trying to save the cash for Christmas. DANG SEASON OF GIVING!!!! ARGGHHH.

[bo0]

I am too cheap to buy it because I am taking care of a few people who have the flu, applying to graduate school, going to my internship that does not pay, and when I have time finally to sit down for a few minutes I'd like to have some serious fun.


Please helllp


bo0

[AlohaMars2]

I'm too cheap to buy this game simply due to the fact that I want a keyboard to play my FPS with. If I win, I can adapt though.

[spamfree2]

I am too cheap to buy this game because, I can't read or write.. I had to pay $2.00 to a homeless guy (who was waiting in the PS3 line) to type this up for me.. j/k...

I am too cheap because I have been spoiled by all the great deals I've gotten because of CAG. CAG rox!!!!!

Good Luck Everyone!

[kazo]

I am too cheap to buy this game because I rented the game for free and haven't returned it yet (it was due back last friday lol).

[oldschoolgoth]

too cheap cos I don't have anything left to trade it in :x

[spek]

Because I got too excited and chainsawed my wallet!

[droidekaspam]

I won't pay $60 for any game!!!

[DreSki]

Beacause im broke lol

[Robman62]

Im to ocheap to buy this game because im a broke college student who must pay a rather large ticket fine of $125 yikes!!!!

[Veritas1204]

Because my wife just HAD to eat this month.

[salmonaxxx]

I am too cheap to buy the game because the unseasonable warm weather has wiped out this year's gummy worm harvest. Did I mention I'm a gummy worm farmer? Yup, I'm out there from dawn til dusk, with my hands in the dirt, digging up gummy worms, so you fat cats can enjoy your damn candy treats. Meanwhile, I can't even afford underwear for my kids, so they have to wear tighty whiteys made from discarded gummy segments.

[duran603]

I am too cheap to buy Gears of War b/c I have fathered so many kids my child support payments eat up all of my paychecks.

[zonalpony]

i'm too cheap to buy this game 'cause.. well... i'm cheap! oh, plus i don't have a 360 so it would be pointless.

[Chris in Cali]

I bought a Gamestop Wii bundle... I have no money to buy any Xbox 360 games, the last one I bought was Tony Hawk's American Wasteland at launch. Help a CAG out!

[phutu]

i'm too cheap to even buy a 360 at 100$ on amazon so am i qualify for the FREE Gears of War?... plz...:)

[DanOh]

I'm too cheap because I am a broke college student trying to get gifts for everyone with the little money i have.

[Longshot099]

I blew all my money buying a xbox360!

Gears of War free please!

[Longshot]

I blew all my money buying a xbox360!

Gears of War free please!

Nice nick you got there. :applause:

[birdmann]

Because I don't have any money to spend on video games for awhile now.

[hertzy]

Because I need to save my money for my heroine addiction.

[OpTiMaL]

Because I don't own a 360, but I'm going to be buying the system soon and it would be a nice start for games.

[darthbudge]

Because I don't even have a Quarter on me right now.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'm not too cheap, I just think the $60 price-point for next gen titles is insane!

[joshingit]

Because I drunkenly gave my last $60 to a stripper.

[Quazie]

I want the game, but when choosing between this or pizza, pizza wins

[||||||]

reason why Im too cheap to get this game , cause im saving every last penny I can for my trip to japan in a couple of months.

[Mike23]

Because I spend too much on CAGschwag.

[Tequilla Gundam]

I didn't buy GoW because as I grabbed the almighty one, my body was thrown to the ground by the force of its sheer awesomeness. I tried several times to pick it up, but to no avail. Only in a package sent by the great CAG can I contain GoW and finally pop it into my X360.

[prinzejd]

Because I am a under paid wildlife researcher.

[CYRiX]

Well this copy won't be for me but it I am going to ship it to my long lost friend who moved to texas a year ago. He just got a 360 but doesn't have any more money and has been only playing demos lol.

[Mutalator]

Because Bob Barker would have wanted it to happen this way.

[jngx80]

Too cheap to buy it because I don't have an xbox 360 yet. But maybe with the amazon deal, that'll all change.

[nyyanksfan20]

My Dell DJ broke so I have to buy a Zune instead of GOW.

[CorporalJackson]

I'm broke :(

[Dark Slayer120]

Because.

[sasukekun]

Wii stole my money!

[magilacudy]

... because I would like to give a copy to my brother for Xmas!

[mcchris_the_pirate]

I'll be honest.....I'm too cheap because thats who i am...yes I said it. I am a cheap bastard...Its almost sad really ..I wont leave my house because i dont want to spend gas... I wont eat a lot because it cost money...I didnt even buy this 360 it is a friends and i have pretty much took over ownership of it....I am buying my gifts for christmas...at the dollar tree... and there is no way Im spending money on this game...it might as well float in my hands

[chodax]

I am to cheap because for the price of 59.99, i can buy 6 9.99 games

[Reaggo]

i barely have enough money to put gas in my car to get to classes, let alone shell out sixty bills for a spectacular game. Im actually cashing in the only "money" i have which are leftover savings bonds from when i was born, that come out to just about 300 dollars in order to secure myself a wii.

[Skexis]

I'm so cheap, I decided to wait for 360 to premiere greatest hits titles, even after I played it and dubbed it the single best game for the 360.

No, seriously, I have like 6 grand in the bank right now, but considering I've got school loans to pay back in the range of 10 grand next semester, the way I see it, I'm already 4 grand in the hole.

[heyfergy]

I'm too cheap because I need to save my money for things like rent, gas, *cough*aWii*cough* and pop-tarts.

[Doogielu]

cuz if i win, i''ll make my gf buy me an xbox.

[Real Cheap Ass Gamer]

Because, I'm just getting a Xbox 360 soon and have saved for ages and need a game to play it on. :)

[dman1869]

I would buy this awesome game, but I don't have any GGCs. I CANNOT pay full price!

[Acidbath42024]

Because I already maxed all of my credit cards out on buying another 360, games, and accessories... my first 360 got stolen :-(

[spideymike]

I'm too cheap since I have over 100 original Xbox games I still have to play thanks to you guys saving me $$$.

[maurinho_10]

I can't buy it because my graduation ring costs five bills

[dark_inchworm]

I'm too cheap to buy this game because I have quite a few gaming things on the horizon and very little money to spare for them...

I have $547 to work with. I'm getting a Wii, Twilight Princess, another game (probably Rayman), and an additional wiimote/nunchuk - about $450 after that. This puts me at $97. I plan on preordering Halo 3 Legendary and picking up another WoW timecard from Gamestop - $55ish, so that leaves me with $42. Then I want the goofy BK games, so that'll set me back, what, another $12? $30. And somehow I have to make four or five more $20 college round-trips with $30. Carpool anyone?

Yeah, I'm strapped.

[punjabi_munda]

im just striaght up cheap. if i get it ill prob sell it on..to get some extra cash.

[deadlykeyboard]

I wanted to see how well Gears of War played before I bought it, but if I win it here, I won't have to buy it. ^_^.

[DCStriker]

I'm so cheap, I work in a game store and get discounts and still don't have any money for it.

[Eissian]

Because I just spent all my money on groceries and gas, yet I really want this game.

[y2jedi]

Because I'm stupid and didn't send in my warranty(even though I warned several friends to do so after reading horror stories here and listening to Wombat on the CAGcast), acquired the red ring of death.

Therefore my Gears of War fund went towards the purchase of my coffin.

[Tokubetsu]

I'm too cheap to buy this game because I just bought FFXII collector's edition!

[ananag112]

I am a poor college student CheapyD. I can't afford a $60 game :(

[nativetongue88]

because i dont like video games. i kid, i kid.

[peteyrose]

I'm not too cheap, I'm just being smarter and working on narrowing down my backlog before I buy too many new games :)

[Quintox]

I am too cheap.

Done.

[getmeoutofjoliet]

I have it and it is the shiz. Can I substitute a Live subscription card if i win? :-#

[AntDG]

im poor and i need moeny for a new cell phone(The nEw Chocolate phone)

[callmesteam]

My buddy Cheapy D told me about the FamilyVideo.com deal, so my cheap ass has been waiting for it to arrive. Apparently my copy is strapped to a carrier pigeon somewhere in Arizona right now. Hells bells... i didn't know they had shipping this slow! But what can I say? I'm cheap as hell.

[DWPunk]

I am too cheap to buy a copy of gears of war because i am way too lazy to get myself a job so I have no way to buy a copy!!

[KB..]

I Deserve This Gears Of War For The Xbox 360 Because I Currently Do Not Have Enough Money To Go To The Mall And Buy It .. I Heard Its One Of The Best Games Out Right Now .. So I've Been Dying To Play It .. Even My Dad Told Me How One Of His Friends At Work Took The Next Day Off When He Got Gears Of War Just To Play It .. So I Want To See What The Hype Is Really About ..

[Hsith]

Because I don't have 60 bucks right now >_<

[bLindslded]

Cause that's $60 I could spend on something else.

[Blade70]

I too cheap to buy this game because I was never a big shooter fan. The commericals shown are tempting though.

[juiceyjuice]

hopefully i get a copy of gears of war..yeah i had one but my little brother accidently scratch the video game and i don't want to make my mom know that we mest up the game and it doesn't work..plus she spent her money on it to make us happy and if she finds out then i feel very bad..and yeah i don't have any money..

Thanks, Ricky

[nnthomas]

i'm too cheap because i spent my $60 to hire a hobo to hold my spot in line for the Wii

[ill]

I'm too cheap because of two major gaming system releases within two days of each other. Curse you sony and nintendo!

[Rodego]

I'm too cheap because I already pay for GameFly, so I will just rent it from there

[canvasch]

i want to get this game so badly, but i just can't bring myself to pay 60$ for it... I didn't get vice city till it was 20$... well the same is true for god of war, shenmue, shadow of the collusus... point is.... who pays more than 20$(before taxes) for a game?!?!?!? I hope this post is lucky.... grant me luck jessica

http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/jessica_alba_reads_mohammed_comics.jpg

[tothextreme]

Because I only got to play it at the Six Flags Event in Springfield but cannot actually afford it! Seeing Megadeth and only getting a taste of that game was bittersweet. Help me, CheapyD!

[Mariano]

i dont have enough money

[One51]

Because I dont have funds for it right now...

[Sephiroth1089]

uh well i had a choice either get Gears of War or get a necklace for my gf's brithday... so i choose the necklace... thus leaving me with nothing but Double Agent Oblivion(i've played this game too much) and PDZ(omg i wish i could just break this game).

[TheWallsAround]

Because I can just go to my friend's house and play the game. I would love to be able to play it online in my own home though.

[qpid]

Because I'm married

[killswitch64]

If I don't win this free copy, I will just hope my wife gets it for me for xmas since I am too busy with Oblivion.

[LinkinPrime]

I already own it, its great, but I'm too cheap to get it for my brother for X-mas or I should say I'm broke after getting an HD-DVD Drive for my X360 a Wii and games for me :P

[Baylro]

need $ for a new car

[Gim_Allon]

I've been spending all my money on hd-dvd's

[CocheseUGA]

Cheapy, having twin 8 month girls and being a stay at home dad prohibits me from spending money on games, much less a $60 one. I'm holding out all hope that I can get a $100 360 on Thanksgiving (or trade for one) to allow me to play what looks like the best game to hit the 360 yet.

[happyloaf]

I'm a grad student and Katrina victims make more money then us....so I can either eat or game....and if I don't eat then I die and can't game....pick me!!!

[Great12k6]

because i dont have a 360 and Gears of War would be a nice first game for my system.

[bullrod@juno.com]

I have to support my kid

[Nippledonkey]

I'm to cheap cause I have to replace my tv that died today. Off I go to spend what little money I have on a new tv. DAMN.......

[RandomNPC]

Cause i dont have a job.

[[ Scar-Nick ]]

I donated 60 dollars to an ethiopian family, and they said, thank you, hope you get something back. I might get this game :)

[helthhazerd]

I am too cheap to buy this game because.... no im not drunk, I'm elmo! It's called drifting, join the navy! Naked time! Do a barrel roll?? I got this one! get the ones behind me, every man decides his future, fight back the nazi horde!!

Bumpy Mister, Who lino? Uncle! Lina!
I knocked down a seppy noun!!
Uncle! Lina!!

Our boy does row key!! YOUR ARMS ARE BROKEN!! UNCLE!! oh-oh!
Dos Boost yes no, high man jump down, oh-oh!

your school's spasta!
Your school's spacka! .... oh-oh!

... Oi, Shamus! have ye eaten me cabbage?

[jedi_dad]

I spent all my money on diapers.
I'd love to score a copy of Gears of War. It would go nice with the 360 I plan to buy this Thursday on Amazon. And if I don't get a 360, the free Gears of War game will certainly make me break down and buy one.

[mrfatmac72]

just got xbox 360 out of layaway. broke now.

[neovyrus]

college isnt cheap

[whataboutbob?]

because im still broke due to ps3 and wii purchase....nuff said

[killbot13]

I haven't bought the game because I am a true CAG. I rarely, and I mean rarely pay retail for games. I have so many games there is no way I could afford paying full price for even half of them.

As I look at my current games that I haven't played yet, I payed about $13 each on average.

If I win I will have to buy XBox Live, which I was gonna put off until this spring. So in a way I hope I dont win, hehe j/k.

Good luck to me. :)

[PyroGamer]

Because I did, but I definitely wouldn't mind another copy. Ha.

[wasabi_]

Low on funds

[Jack7Of7Spades7]

Well, I can't buy this game because I don't have any money to do so, and I don't have a job, which sucks for any gamer. Please consider me.

[Squall835]

I'm too cheap to buy the game because I'm going to try to score one of the $100 core systems on Thanksgiving.

[Jack7Of7Spades7]

I'm too cheap to buy the game because I'm going to try to score one of the $100 core systems on Thanksgiving.

They're only going to be $100?????????

What about the Premium package?

[polaricecaves]

They're only going to be $100?????????

What about the Premium package?


you kiddin?

i love free games because i only got $1300 for my crappy old PS3!

[eau]

I'm too cheap to buy this game because CheapyD has one to give away!

[starman9000]

Because I just spent all my money on a new TV.

[palwk]

Because I don't have an xbox360 yet

[n25philly]

because no shooter on a console is worth more than $10

[Nyquil]

too cheap to buy this game cause gf and college take all my money away XD

[dreamvsps2]

Because my Xbox 360 broke 2 weeks ago and MS charged me $130 for repairs. I could not play the 360 for 2 weeks and I do not have any money for any new games.

Thats my reason. Thanks.

[FuzTurtle]

I just got married, can't afford to get this game

[PheneousPhreak]

lately i've been getting that motion sickness when playin any shooter type game. i've read all the reviews and must have the game. i honestly don't wanna spend the $69+ on the special edition but would love to own a copy.

thanks - good luck everyone!

[Evman9989]

I am too cheap to get the game because i used all my life savings to get a 360 lol

[magictoilet]

Bought a ps3 to keep =/

[dhgamer21]

Because i by all my food at the 99 cent store to save money for games that are on sale a really really good sale that is.

[Bloodbooger]

If I don't win, I'll have to wait for Gears to hit the bargain bin.

[xeverex18]

I am not just cheap, i am poor. I dont know any other person who deserve free stuff more than me. Help a child in need.

[The Frozin One]

I'm not too cheap, I bought mine. But my brother is cheap...and poor. It's hard to talk him into buying any game, so if I win, the copy will go to him so he can get in on the curb-stomping chainsawing goodness!

[yogi99]

I'm too cheap to buy this game because I'm saving my money for Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles.
