Forums - Microsoft - Gears of War Triple Pack hits retail on Feb. 15

Joystiq

A previously rumored bundle containing the first two Gears of War games is now official and headed to retail, several months before the debut of Gears of War 3. The Gears of War Triple Pack includes the brotastic original game and its sequel, along with the Gears of War 2: All Fronts Pack. On top of the 19 multiplayer maps in All Fronts, it has Marcus and Dom playing dress-up to get into the biggest Locust party of the year in the single-player DLC, "Road to Ruin."

This doesn't mean that everything is on the disc, however. The fine print notes that maps from Gears' Multiplayer Map Pack 1 and "Hidden Fronts" map pack are not on the disc, but are available from Xbox Live at no charge. The $30 bundle will be available on February 15, perfect for a post-Valentines Day massacre.

its a good deal, especially as it included all the DLC, but i think most 360 owners have(or have had) both games anyway



End of 2012 prediction:

xbox 360 : 73-75 million  playstation 3 : 72-74 million  wii : 104-105 million 

Most hyped for :

Bioshock: infinte, The Last Of Us, Alan Wake's American Nightmare and Agent

I think this is a good strategy from Epic, this will definitely increase sales of gears of war 3. Though by how much, remains to be seen.

Good deal. I was expecting this.

Now, I wonder if this will shoot down the Kinect rumors?

Unless they sold 50 million copies each I would have to say no :P

So... I can't give this as a Valentine's gift? What an Epic shame.

The beginning of the Epic Hall of Shame.

Nitpicking!

Anyway, I still disagree.  They've sold about 6 million each so you still have a HUGE owner base who doesn't have these and may be tempted at a package price with all the DLC.

Also new people are still buying 360s so this is a great pack for them. 

Personally I don't own Gears 2 but I do own 1.  Then again I'm not a big fan of shooters.

Hehehe, yeah I'm just messing with ya.

But really, you can't expect to find a game with more than half the userbase covered, unless it's a flagship title like Wii Sports, or Super Mario.
