Got the season pass. Once more my 250GB HDD reminds me why I love it so much...until I upgrade to 320GB.

I saw its worth it to get the Season Pass now since it is 200 less than the two packs out now and you still get two dlc packs later on.

updated the OP about the season pass. Can someone check my facts and math please.

3rd dlc comes out next month and is like the 1st one. No story stuff, but adds a good amount of maps, 2 kinda rehashed characters, and maybe some horde stuff.

Added date on Fenix Rising and link to Epic's DLC blog. Should take care of everything but checking my maths.

how about for those of you that play gears3 multiplayer, but haven't purchased the map packs yet?

have you had issues finding games to join or is there a separate playlist?

I was deciding on the Gears of War 3 Season Pass but I want more campaign content rather than multiplayer stuff. Hmm..

the only dlc map related was the free one. Ive been playing alot lately and it seems that the dlc maps all go in a row back to back once one is locked in. You should have no problem getting to play the maps. Might take a match or two.

Gears 3 season pass on sale tomorrow for 1800, another slap to the face to people who bought it on first day. They should give more to first day purchasers than people who get it on sale. Too bad if they ever do something nice to first day purchasers, I won't get jack shit because last time I had trouble with purchasing the RAMM DLC and trying to get my 1200 points refunded, MS gave me this bullshit about how I never purchased the season pass at all. Took two tries and they finally caved in and gave me my 1200 points back giving me a warning that they can't do refunds like that. Sucks the big ones to the hardcore fans out there buying season passes on day one.

It looks like you can't purchase a damn thing anymore on X-Live because it'll be on sale in the next three to four months now. This is what I've been doing but knowing that I love Gears, I had to get the season pass day one.

I will ask again:

If you can't place a value on being the first to own/play something as well as the time you had it until it went on sale, why are you buying early and at the launch price?

Was hoping that the Season Pass would be 33% off, but I definitely expected the 1800 price after Forza. Definitely going to pick it up; I learned my lesson to wait for Gears stuff to go on sale after the All Fronts Map Pack for Gears 2, and then playing it very little, and then it being available for 1/3 of the price in no time

Alright, in for the Season Pass. Can't pass it up at 1800 when I was willing to pay 2400 but didn't get around to it.

Now the question is do I purchase the Gold Lancer prop? I've never purchased any avatar gear. I generally think it's a waste of money. But with it being delisted soon and unavailable, I suddenly feel the need to purchase it. What the heck is wrong with me?

I think the one reason why people who bought the GOW3 Season Pass early
deserve to be pissed is that not all the DLC has been release yet. Basically they got the first DLC 2 months before those buying it on sale and RAAM's shadow 2 week early. Unlike some other Season Passes like LA Noire and MK that had all the content released by the time the pass went on sale. I know they are doing this to keep interest in the game and get the fence sitters but the timing is a bit crappy for the early buyers.

THIS. Even being a hardcore Gears fan I'm also a CAG. The Horde pack was pathetic and while I enjoyed R. Shadow DLC I easily could have waited the what? Couple weeks for this sale and saved a good amount of points. Neither of the first 2 pay for DLCs were must have early purchases.

I think the only problem in this case is the amount of time you get to use it early before the sale. 2 month for one, 2 weeks for another and nothing for the final 2. I am happy to be on the right side of this deal but I understand the discontent some are feeling.

This type of business model is going to see decreasing returns if they keep following this time frame for putting passes on sale.

Very true. You should make this your sig haha.

Also, your math looks correct to me.

But no, definitely grabbing it before MS tries to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.

Exactly! I really don't think season passes should go on sale tbh with you. They should just put the DLC on sale individually.

Thanks for checking my math.

I'll leave it at this: I'm sure everyone can now safely say "Wait for when season passes to go on sale" when they launch.

I am the same way.
