The question: Do Futureshop and the Uk have the same Gears of War 3 Steelbook?

[LowlyAssassin]

i read it and thought it was going to say

how many gears of war fans does it take to change a light bulb
answer
it cant be done there to buzy walbouncing and moaning about broken game mechanics to notice there was even a light bulb in the first place


back on topic

[KianRockz]

but are Futureshop and Uk black the same?

dunno dnt care
wil look into it for you but without buying them i wouldnt know
im gonna say diferent

[Rashmeet]

I think the UK and Futureshop one are different. The UK one has Xbox logo and stuff printed on it, FS version has just the artwork. There's also a Jumbo SB for Italy I think, holds 6 discs stuff like that. Same artwork

[vhal_x]

Yeah, the FS one also came sealed with no slipcover, the UK one has a slipcover (no idea if it came sealed though) xx

[KianRockz]

ok thanks :P

[LowlyAssassin]

the game / gamestatioon one came with the game inside it
also there is a european one i think that holds 3 discs

[LowlyAssassin]

i actually prefer jumbos to steels

[KianRockz]

Gears of War 2 - Red Promo Display only Steelbook
Gears of War 2 CE - Gray Steelbook
Gears of War 3 - UK w/ printed Ratings
Gears of War 3 - Futureshop w/o printed logos
Gears of War 3 - IT Jumbo

That's all I know of. Also from what I'm hearing there will be 2 different artworks for Gears Judgement. One from the UK which is a GAME exclusive and the other from Australia being a EB Games exclusive. Better of wait closer to the release date. I also hope FutureShop CA announces a preorder case as well.

Wow thanks man.

I think there are 2 different red promos. one with logos, one without

[patcrazystar64]

I just think that the Red Gears 2 Promo steelbook was made for multiple regions. Either way they're somewhat hard to find.

Yeah, it was. The one I have is the UK one with the BBFC logo on and it only has "live" on it instead of "Xbox Live", which is on the one in the OP! :P

[KianRockz]

you sell it?

[Cosmic_Link]

Not a chance. Was hard enough for me to get one of them in the first place! XD Have had it since before the launch of GoW2. :D

[KianRockz]

where did you get it from?

[LowlyAssassin]

Wow thanks man.

This and gears of war 1 jumbo


The reds gow2's where for display only and not pre order bonuses so where chucked out by dumb bass store managers

[Cosmic_Link]

From GAME UK. It was when my GF was working there. They only had 1 with their other GoW2 point of display items and t-shirts. My GF managed to get it away from her manager long enough to give it to me when I was in the store! XD Also wanted the faceplate that was on the store demo console as well. :( Couldn't get that though. :(

As I said, I've had it for ages! :D

You've had it long enough.Time to sell it! :yes:

[KianRockz]

[biscuitnoir]

Yep, that's the Future Shop one :)

[patcrazystar64]

And the best of the Gears 3 steelbooks :thumb:

[vhal_x]

I don't think it is. I have a FS one and it looks slightly different. Mine was from the midnight launch though so not sure if they are different?

Mine is similar on the front, but he is more grayscale, and smaller, with a border running vertically down either side of him. The GOW3 writing is also higher up, with Microsoft Studios and EPIC GAMES logos in the bottom right corner. On the back, it has that image, however only at the top half of the steelbook, the bottom half has the usual Gears of War 3 logo then all the copyright stuff in small writing, and it has a sticker barcode in the bottom right corner there.

It also came sealed (and still is) so not sure if it has any inner artwork xx

You're right vhal this one is not the Futureshop version this I believe it's from Spain it's just like the jumbo version. And on the jumbo it only says gears of war while the other says gears of war 3. I found these pics in a different forum

To be honest when I saw the picture originally, it brought back memories of a topic on another steelbook forum

I believe the steel in question is actually a "custom"

Basically someone removed the front and back plates off of the G1 Jumbo and put them on either a british or FS Gears of war 3 steel

I have an Italian jumbo on the way to me and may do the same thing as I don't really want a jumbo in my collection

I would say to look at the spine to see where the skeleton of this custom originated

Is that really true?

There's no they could have used the UK's version because of the xbox 360 logo and the spine is glossy compare to futureshop's but I'm just basing it on the pictures

Hmmm just looked on ebay.es and there was one being sold

Completed listings also have some being sold by other sellers so while I do believe I read about someone making a custom from the GoW 3 jumbo, you are right. It does appear to be a unique steelbook and not a custom

Spine does tell all :P
