If you want to hang on to any of your retail unlocks earned during the Beta, please do not delete your Gears 3 Beta saved games—you can delete the Beta executable itself, but hang on to those saves! (Step-by-step details below.)
To delete the Gears 3 Beta but leave your saves intact:
Go to the System Settings menu on your Xbox 360
Select “Memory”
Select “Games”
Select the Gears of War 3 Beta (507MB) and delete it.

Q: I still have my Beta saved game file, but I did not get my unlocks when I played Gears of War 3.
A: Your Beta saved game files and Gears of War 3 saved game files should be in the same place. As soon as you save both files in the same storage area you should receive your unlocks.
Q: I’ve done that, but I still don’t seem to have my unlocks.
A: They will only be received by the account that unlocked them.
Q: I think I should have more unlocks.
A: As long as you have your saves in the same area and you are the one who achieved them, the unlocks you receive should be all of the ones that you acquired in the beta.
Q: How do I "Get Griffin"?
A: Head over to the Gears of War Facebook page (http://epic.gm/getgriffin), click the button and get the code. Enter it on Xbox LIVE to unlock Griffin as a playable character in multiplayer mode. Griffin will be available on September 20th.
