iBuzz7S Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Starting today, fans who pre-order “Gears of War: Judgment” at participating retailers will receive an exclusive in-game multiplayer weapon at launch, the Classic Hammerburst, along with potential retailer-specific content. The Classic Hammerburst was the standard-issue assault rifle of the Locust Army during their E-Day onslaught. Highly accurate with a six-round burst, the Classic Hammerburst helped give the Locust a decisive advantage. Additional incentives will be available from participating retailers in the coming weeks, including exclusive multiplayer character skins Young Marcus, Young Dom, Anya and Alex Brand. Please visit Xbox.com and your favorite game retailer’s site for more information, and stay tuned in the coming months for more news on “Gears of War: Judgment.” Eh, I would pre-order regardless of the bonuses, but hoping for something decent and not just crappy in-game items which can be unlocked after a certain amount of time.

Lord Montymort Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm waiting to find out where's getting Alex, she is still my favorite character from the series, but I mean holy shit I NEVER expected to see her in this game after she was a no-show in Gears 3. But aside from her, the bonuses seem pretty poor, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Montymort Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Thought I would share this, a video showing all the pre-order bonus characters. Alex is Beautiful <3 Edited November 7, 2012 by Lord Montymort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper187 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I'm tired of this having to order at different stores to get different things bullshit. What I want to know is (1) will there be an Epic Edition or an LE console involved? and (2) Can we expect the preorder bonuses to be attainable in some other way later? Obviously, it's idiotic to expect people to preorder 4 copies of the game to get all 4 characters. Although, we've seen worse from Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagane Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (1) will there be an Epic Edition or an LE console involved? and (2) Can we expect the preorder bonuses to be attainable in some other way later? Doubt there'll be a "console edition", it's too late in the 360's life cycle. (Especially since the last OXM will have a first look at the new Microsoft console.) However, Limited Edition is almost a definite; so far all three Gears games have had something more than just a "regular" edition. Can't say for sure on the pre order bonuses. :/ (Who honestly expected the "LE" crap they pulled off on the last two pieces of DLC for Gears 3?) Personally I hope that the exclusives stay completely exclusive this time around... make Alex Brand the biggest incentive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, store specific pre-order exclusives are bullshit. You shouldn't have to pick and choose witch content you get. You should have the option of getting it all no matter where you choose to shop.

More than that. These companies piss and moan about used game sales hurting them then turn around and give places like Gamestop exclusive content.

Viper187 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 You get the exclusive content for buying new. And how do you think people are paying for their pre-orders at Gamestop? By trading in games that other people are going to buy instead of the new. The point is, if the publishers hate used games sales, they should be providing the exclusive content to other stores to keep people away from places like Gamestop. When was the last time Walmart or NewEgg had an exclusive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destro Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 If you can do like Wallmart did for GOW3, pay 10$ per pre-order and get the code, then resell them and never pick the game... than its fine, but places like Gamestop/ebgames give you the code afterward... thats the damn problem. And why they still give pre-order to amazon... a damn online website... i don't want to make an account just for a pre-order... arg. Well at least its just Dom... i mostly want Anya and Alex...

When was the last time Walmart or NewEgg had an exclusive? Walmart gets tons of exclusives (mainly for AAA titles, if that's what you're asking), most recently Halo 4 and Black Ops II. Newegg's pre-order bonus is considered the $47.99 deal they often have for pre-ordering at a specific time. But I guess I do agree with your point about GameStop and publishers not wanting as many pre-owned sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagane Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 From what my sources say, this is the Gears with the least pre-orders, ever. (Even vanilla Gears 1 had more pre-orders.)

Destro Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Woooooaaa... wtf now? Microsoft exclusive... shopto? Wtf are those? I heard Alex Brand was at best buy... i pre-ordered there...

Destro Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Ok... but i heard it was Alex at Best Buy and Anya at Wall mart, are they just like spinning the wheel or something... ?

Cause its getting ridiculous now... I want Alex, but buying the game online? Cmon no... You obviously heard wrong compadre. They hadn't announced who'd carry Alex Brand in North America as their pre-order bonus until about three weeks ago- same would probably be going in Canada. And what's wrong with buying a game online? If anything it's more efficient to open your mailbox than having to physically go to GameStop or whatever to pick your copy up! (Ever since I found out about online pre-orders, I've hardly gone to a store for the same reason.)

I'm always last on the UPS route, so I don't get stuff until 6-7pm sometimes (3 if I'm lucky). I get home from work or my internship at around 4 pm on most days, usually my mail is in by then. (Usually= 85% of the time.) The Microsoft Store has recently become my favorite to pre-order from too, since their Standard Shipping is usually free with all their pre-orders... and it gets to me on release. (Not to mention the free 1600 MSP offers they had for Resi 6, and BlOps II.) Again- it's extremely convenient.

Destro Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Firstly if you buy online, especially in Canada, what chances are that you gonna get the game on Day 1? Secondly... I can return the games i pre-ordered at stores... I mean... you have what... 30 days to return an unopenned game? You think Wall Mart will ask to get the pre-order card back? No way... But with an online store, maybe its doable but a lot of shit... so well... Now im gonna have to wait for a copy of this microsoft store... only to get it 2-3 days after release, so if i wanna play on Day 1, ill have to open one of my other copies too... This sucks monkey balls really... EDIT : Hey i was checking this link at trueachievements... seem like pre-ordering at ebgames get you both Alex and Young Marcus.. but for canada they don't even mention Anya... is she avalaible at wallmart or not?
