The Limited Edition of Gears of war 2 has a multi-layered case consisting of an artbox which contains a 2 disc SteelBook case along with a hard cover art book, all wrapped with a cardboard sleeve. Also Included is a bonus DVD with behind the scenes contents and Xbox live marketplace codes allowing you to download a map pack of classic levels along with a gold-plated Lancer Assault Rifle for use during online play.

*when you first open the artbook the picture of Dom and his wife falls out like a loose photo from a scrap book. It’s even got a little message on the back, a really nice touch.
