If I actually bought games at K-Mart, I'd say that's a good deal. Could essentially get a year of Gold for $10 if they let you use the $20 gaming coupon on it.

Arrived this morning. Can't wait to get playing.
Finished the first act. Semi spoilers below;
I like that you play as Cole for most of the first act. It was a really nice change of pace. Really looking forward to getting through the rest of the game.

Picked it up last night. Got a free shirt, beanie, lanyard, and keychain with it. Made it to level 16 in about 5 hours. Not bad, waiting on some friends to start the story up.

Played a friends copy for a few minutes. I think I am going to wait for a price drop to buy it.

The epic edition is great the box it came in was huge, I at first thought the clerk grabbed the special Gears 360 by mistake. The Marcus statue is bigger then I thought it would be and looks really cool. The art book that came with it is cool as it shows many different looks they were working for the game logo and Marcus. The book also is like a history some what of the game atleast of what I have looked thru so far.
I have really only done some multiplayer stuff as I wanted to have a little more time to really get into the campaign. The maps in multiplayer are great at least the ones I have played and are way bigger and more open then Gears 2.

hows everyone doing with online multiplayer? what loadouts are you guys using?
even with an active reload, i feel my shotgun is so weak. i always get destroyed in any kind of shotgun duel which is pretty frustrating. i was an above average player on the first one, never got into multiplayer on 2, so im giving this one a chance. i also need to change the sensitivity, the reaction times are a little slow.

Finished the campaign tonight. Wow, what a spectacular final game in what I think is a spectacular trilogy. Absolutely adored it.

Loved this game to bits. Just finished the game today. Won't say what happens, but for people who have passed this bit, or who have completed the story will already know this, but the end of Act 3 brought a tear to my eye, hit me hard that did.

I was the same way. Actually cried. One of the most beautiful video gaming moments ever.
The song was what got me, it does every time.

Me and my brother were playing through with one of our xbl friends and he was crying over the mic at that bit. SPOILERS BELOW (you're safe to read if you've passed act 3, highlight to read) I knew what was going to happen as soon as he put his tags on the statue, then when he gave the knife to marcus and he went to give it back to him it all but confirmed it for me.
My heart sank when it happened .

It's the last game in this trilogy, but it's almost guaranteed they'll do a prequel of some sorts considering all the backstory they still have to fill in.

This is the end of Marcus/Dom etcs game, but gears is long term, we'll see all sorts of prequels and sequels.

It's not a spoiler at all. The marketing campaign has been "Brothers to the End" haha. It's been well publicised that this is the last game of this particularly trilogy.
