Well I just turned on my 360 and guess what i saw. Everyone's favorite gun's skins are up and ready over on the add on's section. Go and get em while there HOTTT. Seriously :D

EDit- Please please please no rants. I just wanted to inform people. The season pass is also up.
 
[quote name='MaicoWin']Just got an e-mail from Best Buy that the game has been shipped. Does anyone know if the code for Mechanic Baird will be in a separate e-mail or if it's inside on a packing slip or something?[/QUOTE]

It will be emailed

3600 points for all the weapons skins? Holy shit they are milking the hell out of DLC this time around. I guarantee it will only be a matter of time before the pre-order exclusive characters hit the marketplace for some more cash grab bullshit. Better sell those codes now folks...
 
I wish Epic would post more details on the season pass. It's pretty lame they haven't yet. At least Rockstar provided details on their bundle pass for LA Noire before it was up for sale.
 
You pay 2400 MSP now for (4) future DLC packs w/ season pass OR pay 3200 MSP for them separately down the line. I think 3200 is the price. I doubt they'll be strictly MP DLC.
 
TRU sent me an e-mail that it will be delayed and the girl at the register had no idea about action figures coming with the game. She also said I'm the first person to put in a pre-order for it (in New Orleans area)... this should go well.
 
If anyone's interested, Trakan pointed out in the Gears 3 360 thread that the Haze weapon skin bundle is showing up as free in the XBL Marketplace, I and a few others just downloaded it for free, looks like an error or glitch but it's working for the time being.
 
It might not work using the Xbox website, it didn't for me I had to download it on my 360, from the big list of DLC for Gears 3 it showed it was 320 MSP but when I selected it, it showed up as free on the confirm purchase screen.

You also get the liquid metal skins with purchase of the season pass (320 msp value compared to other skins) and by far one of the better animated skins.

I broke down and used my 2400 msp that I got from various promos on the season pass since I was already getting the haze skin.

I received an email from TRU yesterday stating:

"We wanted to inform you that we have not yet received inventory on your XB360 GEARS OF WAR 3 pre-order which was expected in-store on September 20th, 2011. We will send you a follow-up email once this item is available and ready for pickup"

I'm hoping TRU doesn't drop the ball on this one......

Thanks Trakan & Hustletron, for the info on the Haze weapon skin (& Bloomy, for the directlink). Hope to have a couple hours tomorrow, when Gears 3 comes in, to game with other CAG members.

Finally, the wait is almost over and will be playing Gears 3.:whee:
:cool:
 
[quote name='benjamouth']I think they added it last night, thats when I saw it and ordered.

Someone in the thread said they weren't adding it automatically, someone else suggested telling CS you were going to return and re-order would probably get it sorted in your favour.[/QUOTE]

Well just called and they said it would get the $40 credit emailed in 1 to 2 business days of shipment even though my order was placed a few months ago. Woman sounded high so I can't say I am too confident, but I guess we will see.
 
Just called Gamestop and they told me they should ship the retro lancer by tomorrow from their warehouse in Kentucky.they said they will shop the game separate because it is from different warehouse s
Also, regarding the Amazon 40 dollars credit, they said everyone will get the credit, even if your preorder before the credit was up.if you don't get the credit by 48 hours street the bundle ship a, just call them

WELL I DID IT!!! I bought the 'You-Just-Got-Raped-by-Epic' Weapon Camo Pack along with the Season Pass.
I was a little apprehensive at first about buying the Weapon Pack but then I reminded myself that I have a job and make $45 in less than 2 hours and also that I will be playing this game for MONTHS - I then immediately felt better!!!

AND NOW I CAN'T WAIT!!! MIDNIGHT!!!

P.S. Any ideas on where I should put both of my Retro Lancers? I'll have the US version tonight obviously and the GOLD Exclusive UK version in a couple weeks - should I put them on separate stands over the fireplace or put them on the wall in the game room facing each other?!?!

I think on the wall facing each other would look more appropriate in the game room.
 
I can't believe how much DL content they are pimping for this game. So many weapon skins alone. 3,600 pts for all the skins? Isn't that like 50 bucks?
 
[quote name='100xp']if you can coordinate w/your XBL friends or clan, you can all get the same skins and have some uniformity.[/QUOTE]

Oh man....I'm having a Roger Murtaugh moment....."I'm getting too old for this shit." lol
 
[quote name='Royal High Knight']Im happy I was able to get the haze bundle, but the lighting one looks beast. I wish that one was free, but free is free and im happy.[/QUOTE]

Really? Thought it was kinda disappointing. I liked the electric one better... Oh wellt to each their own.

Personally I want to get the rainbow one just for the shear factor of owning someone with a rainbow gun... Should make the visual effect of the bullets turn into butterflies.
 
[quote name='OregonDealz']You just got raped...[/QUOTE]

That's why I called it the "You-Just-Got-Raped-by-Epic" Weapon Camo Pack! : )

...that's ok, I'll be alright - but I'll most def let you borrow the FLOWER Camo pack any time you want! LOL!

The HAZE is nice but I like Imulsion, Electric, Rainbow does have sweet Animation, and a few others...

Kinda like the unlockable gun in Red Faction: Armageddon - Mr. Poots (or whatever) which shot/shit out a straight-shot Rainbow which DESTROYED enemies, it was hilarious!!!!

I can't tell... are you bragging about getting raped?
 
[quote name='alexandertyler']When do they e-mail you the character skin codes? Anybody get theirs yet from Best Buy, Amazon, Gamestop, or Wal-Mart who pre-ordered online???[/QUOTE]

within 48 hours after it ships.

My walmart order shipped and its about 30 minutes away, but wont get here till tomorrow. I havent gotten a code for the pre order skin yet. Amazon order says shipping soon, no pre order skin from them yet either.
 
[quote name='The 7th Number']within 48 hours after it ships.[/QUOTE]

So I guess on the 22nd or thereabouts? Anybody ever have issues with not getting your DLC codes on other promos in the past?
 
Just got confirm from Amazon that it shipped today with an ETA of 9/20/11. Amazon Rocks!

I do not plan on keeping the Savage Kantus Skin, I plan on selling on Ebay. Do they ship a card with the code or just email? This is my first preorder where I got a free DLC. Is it better to list now or wait until later after the preorder is over?
 
The Amazon codes will be emailed but I think the Walmart ones will be packed in with the game. I think that's how they usually do it. You could probably go at midnight and buy one with the Grenadier Elite from a WM B&M I'd guess.

I'm hoping this is the case, I'm going at midnight to WalMart, I hope it's not packaged in the case. The Gold Hammerburst code was separate when I bought Gears 2 from there at midnight.
 
[quote name='Linkgx1']Mine has yet to ship...:cry:[/QUOTE]

As other have stated before, Amazon tends to ship out at the end of the day for release date delivery. So if you don't get a shipping e-mail after 5 more hours, then you might want to worry.
