    • The Art and Design of Gears of War by Tom Bissell - Through unprecedented access to the Epic Games team, acclaimed author Tom Bissell (Extra Lives) gives readers an incisive behind-the-scenes glimpse into one of the most celebrated sagas in video game history with 96 pages of interviews, photos, concept artwork and more.
    • Infected Omen Weapon Pack -- Custom multiplayer skins for the game’s five starting weapons; Lancer, Retro Lancer, Hammerburst, Sawed-off Shotgun, and Gnasher Shotgun.
    • An Octus Award Box with Octus Service Medal – A 1:1 match in size and weight, this zinc-alloy cog-shaped medal replicates the award given to Adam Fenix in recognition of his work on the Hammer of Dawn.

    so Zavvi is the only online retailer that has this steelbook?
    Are there others? I checked HMV and they don't seem to be selling the Steelbook version.

    As do game.co.uk, probably best for packaging
  7. MiLoLaM:
    Gears of War Console is going to be awesome too =)

    Just a quick question for you guys: I have the Epic Edition on pre-order, but I'm unsure whether it inclludes the SteelBook Edition or the Limited Edition version of the game as a basis. I would like to think that it includes all of the above, but I have a sneaky suspicion that it includes only the middle-tier Limited Edition - No SteelBook

    Can somebody please confirm or deny whether the Epic Edition includes a SteelBook. Some form of citation would be appreciated

    If it is confirmed that it doesn't come with a SteelBook, then I will have to order this separately, but don't want to be spending all that money if it's already part of an edition I am already receiving

    could you not post in that orange color? it's really hard to read your posts.

    1. A Steelbook that hasn't been revealed yet.

    Sorry for that. In Australia which in assumption the same as UK Epic Edition does include only Collectors. You could always pre order and cancel it if steelbook is in Epic
  13. themidlandmaster:
    The steelbook does not come as part of the epic edition, the limited edition does

    no its not, also on ZAVVI.COM look at page 1
  16. jugolicious:
    oh, it looks a bit different, the futureshop one doesn't have the xbox360 logo on it?

    or the picture isn't 100% accurate, not sure

    futureshop claimed it was exclusive lol
  17. Mike1888:
    Future Shop claimed their MK steelbook was exclusive as well. I don't blame them, its exclusive them in all of North America so that's pretty exclusive.

    None of their steelbooks so far have had the console tag on it, I'm guessing the picture is accurate as it was probably done up by Scanavo.
  18. Ayiu:
    They canceled the ACME Limited Edition due to low demand!
  19. Ayiu:
    Sorry about double post but I think this is worth it.
