INSANE: Gears of War
Got mine. Just Fucking INSANE.
Theres people everywhere running around trying to get this. Pure Kaos.
CNN has even made reports where people are actually geting beat up. Hahaha,
quote:
Detroit, Michigan- A teen patron attempting to purchase a copy of Microsoft's eagerly awaited, "Gears of War" was assaulted while waiting in line at a local Gamestop Video Game store. The 15 year-old was beaten by a 36 year-old waiting in line, also. Apparently, an argument ensued after the cashier claimed there were no more copies available. The 36 year-old named "Deion" started yelling and tried to cut in line in an attempt to purchase the last copy and a brawl started. The older customer sent a barrage of fists and harsh language at the younger patron. The police were then called. "Deion" was arrested for aggravated assault and is currently awaiting arraignment at a local correctional facility. The 15 year-old was taken to a local hospital for several wounds to the head and neck. The final copy of the game is being held as evidence.
Trust me the game does actually live up to its hype by a long shot. Looks like microsoft $1 billion dollar investment did them well.
Good luck trying to get it.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) - At 4:00PM ET: $28.95 Up 0.11 (0.38%)
Microsoft is gearing up for very big gains in the future, and this simple game proves it.

Unfortunately for Sony, the majority of the "killer apps" for PS3 will be available for 360 - Microsoft however is doing a great job of keeping it's exclusive titles just that; exclusive.
I was fortunate enough to get ahold of one of my m8's that I had worked with for 3 years at Software Etc. who now manages a Game Crazy 30 miles north of here. He happened to be running an extra shipment of copies down to the GC here in Point, so I did end up getting a copy today (The GC in Point didn't get enough in its initial shipment to fill reserves)! w00t!
Can't play it for a couple hours tho - Homework....

I'm poorer than the average hobo so I can't even think about affording this title. Lucky for me, I got a bunch of local friends that have picked it up already. Too bad I don't even have time to play video games. School sucks.
