Just a small question. Every retailer has Gears of War $59.99... but from what i know and what Microsoft says, all First party games are suppose to be $49.99.

So whats Gears gonna be? Like i already put down $60 cuz the game is defintly worth it... but im still confused if Gears will be $49.99. Anyone know?

I thought Midway was the publisher, making this game third party?

Yeah but the thing is I'm gonna buy tons of games at X-mas. Gears, Mass effect (if its released), Too Human, Stranglehold. And there are games coming out soon like Enchanted Arms, Dead Rising and Ninety-Nine Nights, all coming out in Summer... so really im buying 7 games before X-mas (if Mass effect is released in the holiday)...

Im not complaining cuz i already paid for it... but im just wondeirng if Gears was first party price or its third?


-- And Midway isnt publishing it, Microsoft Game Studios is.

Hmm I didn't know first-games should be lower priced, that's probably US only then because all games here have the same price, however some are 5 euros more.

Cliffy B wants the game to be 20$ but we all know in the industry that can never happen. But if they were the first to do it, everyone would go buy the game.

49.99..

59.99..

CE: 69.99....

Either way, I'm getting me a copy. Most likely the Collectors Edition if there is one actually coming out.

Good point! The reason games are so expensive is because they know we will all buy them! :)

Its gonna be a killer game. so 10$ is really meaningless if they deliver the hype.

I would gladly pay $60 for this game. These guys definitely deserve to be rewarded for their dedication to making a fun product.

Well then technically you still get in the movie with less than $10... the popcorn and drinks are like an accessory ^_^ but like lol said... eat before or go to mall and get a drink for $5 less lol

Ya damn, I'de pay 70$ for this game (thats almost 1/4 of the price BTY) but the way i see it GEARS is more than 1/4 the reason i bought a 360!:D

No doubt, I have a friend who brought back his 360 because he didn't like the launch titles! Now he is on ebay buying another after this years E3. It shut up all the non-believers of the systems capabilities!

Lol dude why is everything so cheap in America! For instance, going to the movie. In holland you pay $10 for a ticket, and for some big bucket of popcorn another $8. Another example: games, in Holland you pay a standard price of $70/$75 for games. Ipods, like $120 dollars more expensive here than in America. And houses, damnnnn I'm not even going to start about that one.
So stop whining :p

It's not midway publishing the game it's micrsoft so it's considered first party which means it should be 49.99. CE 59.99

i have heard probably 10-12 people ask if there will be a CE edition. the answer is YES!! if you go to EBgames or gamestop they'll have it right underneath the normal version.. just so you know Power Stripe.:D

Does that mean that an Xbox 360 cost you around $840! Man i could not think of paying that much for any system. The again, the X360 does have GoW:D
