Gears of War 3 Epic Edition & Limited Edition possibly canceled in parts of Europe

All we know is that the Epic Edition & Limited Edition is going to come to Europe but things have changed.

First, in the UK the Epic Edition is now exclusive to GAME & Gamestation.
Second, Germany & Austria are not getting the Epic Edition as well as the Limited Edition.
It is currently unknown how other countries in Europe are going to be affected by this but I suggest checking that your order is safe.

The Special Edition for Germany and Austria is limited to 500 copies and will include the following:

• Red colored Wooden Box
• COG Tag chain
• Steelbook with Gears 3 writing
• Marcus Fenix figure, 15 cm (about 6″)

It appears that the Special Edition will be exclusive to 3 online retailers, according to a Newsletter pre-orders will be available at July 31st. One of the retailers is “Zockerrampe” from Germany. The others are probably from Austria and will apparently cost € 140
