$396 after shipping costs. Is is still worth the money? Just wondering if it's still worth it since the softcover version can be bought for $40ish at amazon.

Hey guys,

I made my first ever unboxing video yesterday. Let me know what you all think of my first unboxing outing.



The book is awesome by the way. I do wish they would've printed unique artwork on the inside cover like they did for the Uncharted 2 Folio. The inside cover on the Gears 3 Folio is blank.

Other than that, I have no real complaints. I do hope that these artbook publishers start incorporating Augmented Reality in to their books though; just like the Journey artbook.

I'm tempted to buy it now... well i guess it shows that your vid is good

So you beat me out of book #3, eh. I have #4. My cousin has #5. I wanted #1, but that one was already gone before the books even went up for sale.

Getting number one is impossible, its reserved for a previous buyer of a #1 folio edition i think, the only way i got number 3 was after 8 days the reservation period lapsed and number three became available as were numbers 4-23 all initially reserved

Nice, as expected it looks amazing

I recognize that the folio editions are expensive, but considering the quality, content (Uncharted 2, God of War III, and Gears of War 3 are huge releases and very popular), limited availability, and success of the Uncharted 2 folio; I am very surprised that the God of War III and Gears of War 3 folios are still available...even considering that they made 100 more of each as compared with the Uncharted 2 folio.

The Gears folio just went up for sale. Even the Uncharted Folio didn't sell out that fast.
Either way, I still don't expect the Gears Folio to sell out any time soon. I predict that it will sell at the same rate as the God of War III folio. I wish they would've stuck to only printing 200 copies.

Hopefully the next folio will be limited to only 200 copies; and yes, they are most certainly making another folio!

Hmmmm....sounds like you might have some hunch about what's coming next. Care to share?
