You can keep your $150 Lancer


By Coxxorz - Posted on 26 October 2008


I want this $200 action figure! Seriously, if you pre-order Gears of War 2 from Future Shop, they're giving away a special edition "Headshot" Locust Drone action figure, valued at $200. Also comes with real metal COG tags.

Best Buy in the USA is reportedly giving away a mini R/C tank, but no word yet what their Canadian counterpart is doing (if anything).

So you can rev your non-moving chainsaw engines all you want, I'll just point at the explicit, gory detail of my ex-drone to remind you of who's boss.

Best Buy is having a little promotion of their own. Apparently if they sell out of the standard edition on the 7th, they'll give you a $20 gift card!

They're also offering a free gears bottle opener and Lancer keychain (limited quantities). And the first 20 people in line will get a card to download a gold-plated Hammerburst Assault Rifle. Also, if you happen to be at the Bay and Dundas store in Toronto, they're giving away one of the $150 life-size model Lancers.

Dang it, now I can't decide where to preorder!

Boring.

Neither do I. But after the GTA4 fiasco, I can hardly stand on principle here.

Good luck with that.

I know there were a lot of warnings about the Best Buy R/C tank floating around. Something along the line of only 5 per store. Not sure about that but it is only available with the limited edition and is a $29 value normally.

Wonder how limited the $200 Future Shop give away is? It is also only with the limited edition.

Although, to be fair. I hope you get it. Which ever one you order....

Comes with either Limited or Regular Edition.

Stop crapping on my thread!

I went by what they said.

It includes a real metal COG tags. *This bonus is free with your purchase of Gears Of War 2 Limited Edition (XBOX 360) (Web id: 10112798). This bonus gift is not for sale.

It's all a moot point, because I went there tonight and the game section dude didn't know anything about the preorder. Neither did the head honcho. Or the free bonus item. Or the fact that they would be opening at midnight in 10 days. And we wonder why things like missing trucks of PS3 GTA4 happen to them...

He's not going to stop crapping on your thread.

As an annual break from not appreciating you, starting at 5pm tonight, you can get this or any other game or accessory for 10% off.

Get your preorders with action figures for cheaper!!!
