Oh look, more old games "remastered" and priced at more than I pay for new AAA PC games. Console gamers will buy anything.

And PC gamers will troll every console games thread?

Really? what was the last AAA game you bought and how much?
Also was it before or after you paid £300 for a graphics card to play it?

If you're a PC gamer, why do you care about an console game?

You do realise this is coming to PC and will probably cost about this much right?

Expertzone is a training site for people who work for a Microsoft partner or Microsoft themselves (such as retailers and hardware/software companies) where you complete training modules to earn points and then these points can get free things such as games or Microsoft hardware (mice, keyboards, webcams etc)
Thats how it used to work at least but im no longer a member as they started using verification (via payslips) to check if you still worked for one of the eligible partners

Great price especially as it also comes with the previous Gears games for free with backward compatibility.(and the Gears of War 4 Beta: when available )

This ha brought back some memories! It's been given a nice polish up and I like having the digital copy though be warned, it's nearly a 50gb download!

Get physical, it will be easier to conceal from gf1 (and gf3 if you're that lucky)

According to a lot of reviews, it's not very different at all.
Still runs at 30fps on campaign more (60fps is only online multiplayer).
All the bugs and glitches from the original version are still there.
There's a very good reason it launched at around £25, not that it stopped me using my Rakuten SuperPoints to get it!

Should I bite now or wait further seeing as this is not a price drop?
Anthonyuk to raph65536
23 Oct 15#25
There is bound to be deals on Xbox Marketplace for Black Friday at the end of November and also again at Christmas.
Given its a first party title, its the type of game Microsoft will discount.

I don't wanna wait 674 years for another price drop.

It is there in the small print:-
Includes Xbox 360 titles Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3 and Gears of War: Judgment. Each title will work as part of the Xbox One Backward Compatibility program upon Backwards Compatibility general availability – expected autumn 2015. To qualify purchase and play Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on Xbox Live between August 25, 2015 and December 31 2015.

Is that promo still valid for getting the 360 games digitally for free if you play this before the BC games go live?
EDIT: I found the article... Yes you should have the ability to get all 4 Xbox 360 games (digitally) when the BC function officially launches. You need to have purchased (and i guess played) GoW UE before December 31st 2015.
sajadmohsin to iamthelloyd
23 Oct 15#20
so if I buy this and play it before BC goes live, I'll be able to download all the Gears games on my Xbox One for free when released? Is that right?

Would get it if it was compatible with the xbox 360 :disappointed:

If you want to get it for the 360, you don't have to pay 20 quid. You can get at Game for 2 quid. Haven't played the original on 360 though, so not sure if the remaster is dramatically different.

Above 5% discount code expired, but I've just got this. Hope this helps someone.
A real game! For real men. About a real war, with real guns.

Anyone know what the cheapest physical copy is? Just copped the Xbox One yesterday. Fifa and gears were all I played on the 360.

This is probably a daft question but I'm assuming this download will work on a UK live account? Or do I have to set up a US one?
momouk78 to TEAMJETHRO
23 Oct 15#9
No, works fine in the UK (or anywhere else).

ive just started to go digital with Forza 6, Fifa 16, Gears, Rise of the tomb raider and Rare Replay. I find that I play a wider range of games than when I use a disc. It just feels easier
momouk78 to monkeymagik
23 Oct 15#8
Completely agree! I only buy a physical disc, if I'm sure I want to sell the game later. Did this with Rise of the Tomb Raider and Arkham Knight.
