[quote name='Wombat']I have to admit, its pretty sweet, even Mrs Wombat who hates these kinds of games, was impressed with the graphics. Its controls really well, and the reload feature adds more than you might think. I only finished the fist segment but I have to say I am impressed.[/quote]

nice!

wonder why its not on your gamercard (yet?)

It takes about 15 minutes or so.
 
Wombat will always be able to say that he got GOW before most everyone else. I guess the question is, is that going to be something to be proud of.

I sure it will be, this game should be pretty good.

Good to hear, coming from you that means a lot, seeing as it doesn't seem like your kind of game.
 
I went by my Circuit city to pick up some component cables and they had about 30-40 of the GoW madcatz faceplates there for 9.99 each i think they are pretty good for free.

But when i asked them about when they would get the game in they just looked at the ad and said Wednesday at 5PM.

Also im from Fresno, CA. and im talking about the CC on Blackstone in case anyone from the area has any info on it.

That's the only thing I hate about Circuit City, is that they hold fast to that stupid 5 pm time slot like nobody's business. It happened on Marvel Ultimate Alliance and another game I tried to buy there.

Even if Circuit City had the game in by 11 am, around here they won't put it out until fucking 5 pm because "that's what the ad says".

I was going to get it at Best Buy or EB or something, but that faceplate can either be returned or sold knocking a good chunk off of Gears of War's price, and I'm too much of a CAG to pay more to play it a few hours early.
 
I dunno about this Wombat guy...seems weird. He just suddenly shows up with Gears of War on his account. I think he might really be J. Allard.

Try Game Crazy--the closest one to me has them & will start selling them at around 3 PM. Although it might be hard to get one if a lot of people pre ordered them from the particular store. You should call them tomorrow just to be safe...

If they have them, why wait till 3pm to start selling?
 
[quote name='Brak']Wombat gets a copy?

Where's mine?[/quote]

DUDE thanks for posting that pic of Zombie i haven't listened to him in a while DEFINATELY time to listen to living dead girl!
 
It would have been nice to play tonight. I seriously won't be able to get to it till around midnight tomorrow. Going to go see Story of The Year at the Downtown Disney House of Blues. I'll be having an awesome time and then I'll be hopefully chain-sawing some mofo's when I get back home.
 
Yesterday, I was ready to pass up GoW since I already have plenty of 360 stuff to play. But, after seeing the video reviews and just about everyone picking it up at launch, I definitely need to indulge. I've still got the $5 down at BB, I'll swing by after work and see if they've got it.

Damn, I'm officially psyched. :lol:
 
[quote name='AshesofWake']OMG IM GOING fuckING CRAZY, I NEED THIS GAME OMG...

[quote name='koreamanloves24']could it be available at a 24hrs Walmart right now?[/quote]

I dare you to call them.
 
[quote name='Francis']I dare you to call them.[/QUOTE]

Dare? What happens when you call a Wal-Mart that's so goddamned dangerous (other than being on the phone with a bloomin' idiot who can't speak English)?

Besides, it's common knowledge that the last thing you should do to find out if WM has something in stock is to call and ask.

The dare is that u will call, get to the video game department, and then u will say gears of war and they will be like "CHEESE? LEMME TRANSFER YOU!"
 
[quote name='rly723']any good trade in promotions at EB/GS or any other stores?[/quote]

Extra 20% on tradeins toward purchase or reservation of GoW - extra 10% (that's 30% total) with discount card. I was able to get $51 worth of credit from what what originally $40 or so.
