I got the adam fenix character and weapon pack from the gears console. What else gives you this stuff?

I'm also kind of mad that I didn't get a mechanic baird from pre-ordering from Best Buy.

This isn't related to Gears 3 specifically, but just an interesting story.

I work at a locally owned video game store, and to maintain a somewhat competitive advantage, we usually put the games up on our TV and let customers play them during our launch parties.

Well, apparently one of the GameStop regional managers started "spying" on our FB page, and essentially had one of her store managers contact us and tell us "Don't do it or we'll report you to your distributor".

Shitty right?

Anyway, launch is done, ready to play!

Did you enter the code from the back of the metal cog medal? I know you probably did but the code on the card is only for the two day gold trial.

This was a bit confusing, but yes the download code is on the medal and the paper you got SAYS this in super small print. The paper has the Xbox Live Gold 2 day trial dl code, not the Adam Fenix dl code.

Laying in bed reading this damn thread has shot my hype into overdrive.

Oh and to the man who a few pages back who needed a job and had to sell his copy and systems. Solidarity brother. Keep looking and you will find something, and a fresh cheaper copy of gears 3 with a ton of dlc will be waiting on you.

Last I remembered, max of once a year. You can transfer every year if you like.

Adam Fenix comes with both special editions of the game and the console. The infected Omen skin pack comes with the console and apparently the Gears controllers.

Finished Act I, awesome game so far.

I went to my BestBuy Midnight Launch, great experience with swag and other freebies. I didn't get a Mechanic Baird code, though! I didn't notice until I got home. So they're e-mailing them? I haven't received anything yet. Either way no big deal, loving the game so far. I'll continue tomorrow, I have to get up in two hours, lol. :p

-Edit-
Achievements this time around seem very doable. Unlike the previous two games, I remember some really annoying ones I never bothered to complete.

'Gears of War 3' campaign DLC won't have Marcus, Dom or Cole
Gears of War 3's main characters won't appear in future single player downloadable content, says Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski.

Bleszinski has confirmed that Epic Games plans to extend the single player campaign with future downloadable content. However, series leads Marcus, Dom and Cole will not be playable.

"We have some DLC that's coming up," Bleszinski told The Telegraph. "We've confirmed we'll be doing campaign DLC.

"One thing I can tell you is that you're not going to see Marcus or Dom or Cole in it."

Bleszinski referred to downloadable content such as Grand Theft Auto 4's 'Lost and the Damned' and 'The Ballad of Gay Tony', or Borderlands' 'Mad Moxie's Underdome Riot' as examples of what Epic Games hopes to accomplish with Gears of War 3.

Epic Games had previously announced the Gears of War 3 Season Pass, which will provide access to the game's first four downloadable content packs released over the next year.

Guess I'll be picking this up a little early. Was going to register for my classes this year today, but circumstances (i.e. the student administration having the most retarded working hours imaginable) have moved that up to tomorrow.

Oh well, that means more Gears 3 before my date tonight. :lol Is this real life?

I did it days ago, quite soon after getting the game. I'm afraid it's not going to be very rare at all, I guess everyone of us that got the game early have it so it's going to spread fast.

Oh god. Well, the torch has passed from Gears 1 ---> Gears 3. Gears 3 is now going to reign supreme. I just spent five hours playing it with my two gears peoples, and my god was it just as fun as I had hoped, if not more. Got through Act 1 then got to MP. Goddamn, I LOVE the gnasher. Everything is just so beautifully balanced, and I love the changes made to Thrashball, makes it much better.

Man, this shit is incredible, really what we deserved after that abomination that was Gears 2 MP. I'm happy.

Oh, and are we going to be getting more maps? If so, when?
