Pretty sure you still need the bulletstorm disc to play the beta. Is this worth $40? It looks ok..

I think he plans on waiting to get another copy around mid-April, by which time this will likely be less than $40.

I traded mine in, thinking the same (I know the Gears beta is on-disc), but I'm not sure it will drop even more, so why not? I made a $0.01 profit by trading it in, haha.

Good deal... but I just ordered Halo 3 and RE 4 (Wii) from Amazon on Saturday.

that was fast

Or maybe he didn't, and now he is informed

By then this will probably be part of an EA flash deal, I'd totally bite again for like $10 or something (with my $20 code)

Can't wait for the DLC, having played about 15 hours of Anarchy with friends, it is neither broken nor tacked on crap, at $39.99 I would highly recommend it, as to the quick drop on amazon this happens a lot with EA games, grab it while its on sale.

Very tempted to buy this but I just sent in stack of games for trade in and I like to wait for the credit.

Must think about this one. I trying not to spend any money only credit.

I beat it and then traded it back in. It is lots of fun, but I think the gameplay gets a little repetitive after a while. The multiplayer runs smoothly, but it ends up being a big leash tug of war with everyone fighting to get big score kills. Just not enough to keep me coming back for more. Also, if you pick this one up used, you most likely will have to pay another $10 to EA to get the online pass to play multiplayer. Something to keep in mind.

Yes, but there is mention of upgrade to the "Epic" or "Limited" editions only if you preorder before 2/22/11:

Bulletstorm - Epic Edition Pre-order Bulletstorm before February 22, 2011 and recieve an automatic upgrade to Bulletstorm - Epic Edition, which includes: Guaranteed early access to the public beta for Gears of War 3 - the spectacular conclusion to one of the most memorable and celebrated sagas in video games Peace Maker Carbine, boots and armor 25,000 experience points to use right off the bat Visual upgrades for the iconic leash

It says that, but orders placed after release have also come as limited editions. I ordered mine on the 24th and I received the limited edition with the beta.

Amazingly fast drop. Can't in my heart of hearts not expect this is swan dive by summer, esp once the Gears beta piece happens

Im just going to wait for this to be around 20 bucks used or rent it Im not really interested in the multiplayer.

I thought this had one of the best SP campaigns in a long time. I personally liked it better than GoW 1 and 2, CoD MW 2 and BO and for me it was on par with Reach. The story was original, the gameplay never got stale (him, played-out pop n shoot gameplay or something original?), and it was just the right length. It was also fun going back and playing Echoes.

Great game at full price at definitely around $40. I too will probably trade it in though as there's not much left and I don't care about MP. The only thing that the disc gets you is EARLY access to the beta, if you have GoW3 reserved you get access anyway.

What confuses me is (and I'll ask when I trade it in unless somebody else already knows) that at GS you get $5 towards a reservation of GoW3 w/purchase of Bulletstorm. So technically you should have two beta keys anyway...

I will be keeping it to complete the achievements added when the DLC comes out.

The PC retail version is $39.95 also. I am thinking about picking it up because it comes with Gear of War PC.

Buy this with my $20 credit for a total of $19.99. Thanks OP!

Not really, played through it then got my money back and when beta drops i'll hit up Family Video or Blockbuster if they haven't folded for a weeks rental. Game rental is cheaper than the code will sell for.
