Gears of War 3 Limited Editions Announced

The bets for Gears of War 3 has ended, and it’s surely left some fans saddened. Don’t worry, though, as we have just what you need to get that grin back on your faces. Epic Games has just announced two new editions of Gears 3 that will release on September 20th along with the standard version of the shooter.

Here’s a look at the two new editions:

Limited Edition ($79.99 US)

• An Octus award box and Octus service medal – Replicas of the honors bestowed on Adam Fenix, Marcus’s father, for his work on the Hammer of Dawn.
• Exclusive unlockable Adam Fenix multiplayer character
• A fabric COG Flag
• The personal effects of Adam Fenix, including his “Last Will and Testament,” the initial Hammer of Dawn schematic, and other Fenix family mementos.

Epic Edition ($149.99 US)

• A Limited Edition Marcus Fenix Statue – Designed by Epic Games Art Director Chris Perna and expertly crafted by the artisans at Triforce, this fine PVC statue collectible makes the ultimate living room centerpiece for any true “Gears” fan.
• The Art and Design of ‘Gears of War’ by Tom Bissell – Through unprecedented access to the Epic Games team, acclaimed author Tom Bissell (Extra Lives) gives readers an incisive behind-the-scenes glimpse into one of the most celebrated sagas in video game history with 96 pages of interviews, photos, concept artwork and more.
• Infected Omen Weapon Pack — Custom multiplayer skins for the game’s five starting weapons; Lancer, Retro Lancer, Hammerburst, Sawed-off Shotgun, and Gnasher Shotgun.

These each seem like a pretty sweet grab, and I plan to get one. This little announcement should tide you over until the game releases, right? What are you excited about with these new editions? Which one do you plan on picking up?
