You guys need to see the E-Day Collector's Edition for Gears of War because Microsoft just announced it at their Showcase and it is every bit as epic as you'd expect from a franchise this legendary. This isn't your standard reprint; it was designed specifically as a definitive tribute to the original trilogy, so they packed in serious stuff: a massive statue featuring Marcus and Dona moving forward together, an artbook with a steel spine, the soundtrack on both vinyl and digital formats, plus even their own branded SteelSeries headset housed in its very own chest. To top it off you get a playable demo code right out of the box! They're also including exclusive content that only shows up in this edition across all platforms, which is rare for these kinds of packages.
The thing is the full bundle with everything included — especially the physical hardware - is an early June exclusive, so if you want it at retail price ($159.99) and you want every single item including that SteelSeries headset boxed separately you need to order by June 27. If your order comes in after that you still get most of the bundle but not the headset; they'll email a note with what gets shipped based on timing, so don't sleep on the first month window! The team behind it is also worth noting — Mattie Minton directed, and Scott Ellis and Joe Failla are writing. That’s the same trio that has worked together on every Gears title since GOW3, so you know this build came from people who actually understand what makes the franchise tick.
