Do walmart stores do pre-orders for gears 3? also do they give these $20 gift cards?

Should I feel bad that I preordered the Gears console and the Epic edition game?

I also saw 1 Zeus figure from the god of war series, but none of the others. Oh well.

They are all 14.99 each.

I wouldn't get enough if I traded in my Elite 360 with a 250 gb HDD would I? I really want to buy the GOW3 360.

I'm going to call Gamestop and see how much I can get for it.

they will rip the hell out of your ass! you old system may bring in around $75 HDD another $25.. so you will be about a 1/4th of the way there. opp 4got about tax well you can give up the 2nd controller that you have that's about $10. better off to sell it on CL and save up and order on amazon. no Tax.

Did you not turn on your 360 at all the other day. Yes walmart is doing pre-orders and yes just like amazon you get a $20 egift card. but its only on the SD. and you get the Bonus exclusive Savage Grenadier Elite.

I pre-ordered the Gears console.

i really want the statue that comes with the epic edition though, i'll have to ebay it

Anyone know the retailer that will have the butcher cleaver?

I feel ya! I'm doing the Epic Edition and BOTH Retro Lancers - the normal U.S. version and the GOLD Exclusive U.K. version. That's enough for me - if the console looked better I would get it too...

How many more could you have saved with that limited edition money? Poor children in graves.

I had to, two controllers, the games, some goodies, and turning on that bad boy just to hear the Gears of War theme, FUCK YEAH! I need 160 left to pay it off. I be on the PS3 more often until Sept. 20th hits.

You being a CAG and all, why in the hell would you trade in your console!? Seriously, you could make 4x more selling it through Craigslist.

Can't wait for gears 3
Gonna play it non stop

Anyone know a place to buy Gears 3 figures?

Yeah pretty much TRU is where i buy mine. I think ive read they might sell them at suncoast or FYE maybe it was? But TRU is your best bet, or an online store like amazon, bigbadtoystore, and others. But they usually run a little higher than retail+shipping which is why i get them at TRU if i can.

Just wanted to let everyone know this.

If you pre-order Gears 3 Standard at Walmart, the $20 e-gift card will be mailed to your email address within 2 hours after your payment clears. If you go to Amazon, they won't let you have the $20 gift card until the game ships. BOO! I'd recommend Wal-Mart cuz you can use the $20 GC to pre-order another game like Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3 or Battlefield 3! I used mine on Skyrim
