ATM, all that is confirmed is a copy of the "Destroyed Beuty" book of concept art and background info and a DVD with a "making of" special. And I'm fairly sure you get a nice metal case to :D

The games themselves are exaclty the same with all L.E.'s, that I know of. It's normally behind the scenes stuff. :)

Collectors Edition content-

* Collector's Edition contains:
- An exclusive hard-bound art book titled “Destroyed Beauty”
- Lots of exclusive behind-the-scenes content, including an inside look at the making of Gears of War

[Ingy]

schme, i never watch all that behind the scenes stuff anyway so il just get the normal one from gpstore!

the release date sucks two weeks after the yanks and a week after the poms :cry:

the price is a pleseant surprise since MS seem intent on screwing their yankee customers.

Its only that price, cause PS3 will be out then. Hopefully after PS3 is released all 360 games will be $99.95

GPStore sounds awesome! Just a couple of questions before i place an order with them...
1. Are they any good? (do they deliver on time and have the stock to meet demand?)
2. It says you can pay by Direct Credit, does that mean i can transfer money from my debit account to their bank account to pay for goods?
3. If question 2 is right, do I have to try working out the currency rate and transfer the money or will they tell me how much in AU $ it will be?
4. They do ship to australia right? How much is it?

Sorry for the noob questions, but as you can tell i dont shop online much (got full auto for $70 from dvdcrave though hell yeah!).

Hey guys just a word of warning, I have had a bad experience with gpstore, admittably it was a couple of years ago, so things may have changed...

For anyone who can't be bothered to read that thread, a new game I ordered from them arrived unsealed and with scratches on the disc...

cheers.

[Skooby]

Why has no one picked up on the price point? MS stated that ALL MS published games would release at US$49.95 and here they are already doing a backflip on the promise.

are u kidding mate. You don't want what will be one of the greatest games ever! haven't u seen the multiplayer hands-on impressions. it would appear that this game not only looks great, but also is a hell of a lot of fun to play. people are going to be playing this game on live for years to come.
