So I was getting ready to go grab my copy of Gears of War when I got a call from EB saying they had a shipping wrror and didn't get it in today. SO right about then I am panicing.

So I quick looked up Gamestop's number and gave them a call and they had one damn copy left. Thankfully they held it for me, even tho from when I worked there we couldn't if it was the last copy.

I ran to EB and grabbed my preorder slip and pised off the lady cause she was sure they didn't have a copy left. I got their last copy and went home like I just robbed a bank. Unfortunatly I preorded the LE but they didn't have one. Oh well, I saved ten bucks on a dvd I'd watch once like HB said.

I'm loving the damn game, it's rather intense. I'm only on the second mission and it's hard, and i'm playing it on the normal setting. I give this game the highest of reccomendations. If you ahve a 360, there is NO reason to not get this game. I plan on taking it online tonight and doing co-op this weekend with my buddy.

Discuss.

I'll admit to wanting to buy an 360 for this...unfortunately with the Wii around the corner, I'm gonna have to fork out for a set of remotes, classic controllers, nunchucks, etc.

On the plus side though, I can play Duck Hunt. Oh and Super Metroid is on the way...I'm whetting my lips. Oh and there's a few actual Wii titles im looking forward too aswell.

Yeah I just hijacked your shitty Gears of War topic. Lets all talk about how the Wii will rock!
