Also for the record Gears of War 3 pre-orders should be massive on the next week because everyone who buys Bulletstorm on opening week automatically gets a free pre-order towards Gears at Gamestop where I work.  If pre-orders don't see a significant rise then we know that Pre-orders are only based off of some kind of equation or something because its an automatic thing, all Xbox 360 Bulletstorms come with a Gears 3 pre-order.

That's stupid, and I doubt it's true.

1. Pre-ordering is free, I dunno who told you they charge.

2. Why would every Bulletstrom copy make an automatic Gears 3 preorder? Maybe some people wouldn't want to buy Gears 3, and how do they get your data anyway?

3. And what about people who never go online?

Thanks.  I work for the company.  If you would like me to provide more links I'm more than happy to.


Errrrmmm....

"Went to Gamestop the other day and they asked if I wanted to pre-order anything and I said I want to pre-order Gears 3 but not until I know when it's coming out. The guy said that if I pre-order Gears 3 between now and I think until Bulletstorm comes out, you get $5 off Bulletstorm.

Just a heads up for anyone interested."

The second link is contradictory of your statement.

no its not contradictory at all.  The $5 is taken off of Bulletstorm and directly applied to the Gears 3 pre-order.  It clearly states on Gears 3 page and I quote

Bonus!

Purchase BulletStorm Epic Edition and Receive $5 off your pre-order of Gears of War 3. Offer valid from 2/22/11-3/6/11. Xbox 360 version only.

Online Customers: Add BulletStorm and Gears of War 3 to cart, discount will be applied automatically at checkout.
In-Store Customers: Discount will be applied at time of purchase.

It clearly says in store its automatically applied at time of purchase.

But you're only proving my point, if you add Bulletstorm and Gears 3 to cart, discount is applied, and Gears 3 is pre-ordered, if you only add Bulletorm, you only buy Bulletstorm.
I'm telling the Gears 3 pre-order is not forced, you get it if you want to.


In store its automatic.  Its not a theory, I work for the company, I worked the midnight launch of KZ3 and Bulletstorm, and I pre-ordered the crap out of the game for people.  We ask permission and CAN cancel it out of the transaction but its still auto added.  Regardless of what semantics you want to argue if Gears 3 pre-orders don't have a large scale lift next week numbers are wrong.  Stop trying to argue with me just to argue, our point is essentially the same with different wording.
