It happened, 7.2GB file. I don't have a flashed drive because well, I expect this system not to last 1yr without a problem and I'm on warranty. It's out there floating around fellas, just have to find it. :fishing:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Gamespot had some exclusive footage run on their website. I don't know but it felt a bit dull, hmmm...GOR or COD3? :eyebrow:

There's nowhere I can't reach.

An ad was posted on the XBL marketplace and wow, that looked amazing on the DLP. Thank goodness for gameznflix, COD3 & GOW at my doorstep on release day.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Question concerning the release date of this game. Many I'm sure are aware of this and at times it drive me insane but when is the actual release date. I've seen shops like Gamestop & EB get it in stores (Nov. 7th) but won't sell until a few days later. Emergence Day as far as I know is November 12th so at this point in time I'm hearing mixed dates as to when I can actually walk up to the counter and have that barcode scanned and call it my own.

This question goes to those who have downloaded the Gears of War ad from the XBL marketplace. I noticed that after the fall update, the Gears of War clip slightly, just very slightly, struggles a bit during the opening seconds. Anyone else have this going on with their 360, same thing happens with the TMNT 720p trailer as the camera works its way down from the high rise buildings to the rooftops. :eyebrow:

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well it looks like I'll be using my Sears Gift card for this game, I just hope they have it available on the 7th or 8th. No way on earth am I going to wait until the 12th. I'm passing on COD3 so this game better impress me a helluva whole lot. :ashamed:

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hmmm, so far that's 2:1. I'll need more people to chime in before calling Microsoft and report the problem so they can ship me a new hard drive.

FELIPE NO

Well the madness begins, trying to score a copy of GoW today if you're lucky. Will be trying my luck at BB, Walmart, Sears, Target & Costco.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Alot of gamers are getting their copies today, some have it at this very moment at the Xbox forums. Most are expecting their copy around 5-6PM at their local EB or Gamestop so note to those who pre-ordered. Toys R Us, not available until the 10th, Best Buy tomorrow, Walmart tomorrow morning, Target the 9th, Costco, well my local one doesn't have it in yet. And certain EB & Gamestop shops won't sell until tomorrow which is mind boggling, I'm surprised they're not out of business yet...what kind of bull is that?

Nothing here, problem is tomorrow I'll be busy with classes from 10-4PM at which by that time I'll be completely exhausted to pick up anything let alone something to eat. I'll just crash tomorrow and hope for the best Thursday morning. :doh:
In the meantime, some reviews...

IGN Score 9.4
Gamespot Score 9.6

Post your gamertag, or register one at http://www.mygamercard.net/ and post it up. I hear this game is awesome through Live's co-op campaign.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm going out to pick up GoW or CoD3, I've heard mixed opinions about the online play with both titles. I haven't a clue as to what to pick up but at the moment I'm leaning towards CoD3. Hopefully they'll setup a few demos before I make a purchase.

Well just came back from my local EB/Gamestop and FYE. It turns out because of the rainy weather we've been having that the game never arrived or so they say. As for EB well they were only selling to those who preordered which means I won't be shopping there anymore. Why is that you can't walk into a gameshop and pick up a title the same day as it's released. It's really getting out of hand so I just went to the nearby FYE and picked up CoD3 which was the only game that arrived. I'll play it a bit later but I'm just so darn exhausted at the moment from driving from shop to shop.

Lord knows when Sears will stock GoW, damn Sears gift card. :doh: But to get back on topic here, just letting gamers know that there is some GoW content only up today on the XBL marketplace for free.
