With the recent trend of blockbuster games being packaged together (Game of the Year Bundle), it seemed that EPIC’s blockbuster ‘Gears of War‘ series was missing out on its very own package. Well fear not Gears of War fans (11 million of you, and counting), as Microsoft Australia have just announced a special ‘Gears of War’ bundle to be released on the 4th of June to participating retailers.
The limited edition ‘Gears of War’ bundle will include an Xbox 360 Pro console, accompanied by both Gears of War 1 & 2, in a swanky looking blood red box. For a RRP of $449 AU, it is a great deal for anyone yet to ‘jump in’ to the Xbox experience. Though the press release clearly states an Australian release/date, it is highly likely that this promotion will include all other major territories. Full details below

The MW3 bundle is so much better

Agreed AYo – it’s a great deal for the price and new 360 owners, but a limited edition coloured console should be in there considering MS did it for Resident Evil 5, a third-party game.
I vote for black with the red ‘omen’ Gears of War logo splashed across the side in red to look like blood!
there’s nothing special about this bundle except for the box. they could’ve at least made a limited edition colored console and controller
