I was planing on going, but forgot to call my local Gamestop to see if they were even having this event. I wanted the "Gears" shwag though. And it would be nice to see the "video" in HD, because we all know YouTube is not the best quality on the Internets. My bets that the video shows up on the Xbox Live Marketplace within a few days. If so, I'll check it out on my HDTV and 5.1 surround sound.

I'll be up the road at the Owasso GameStop. Remember besides the swag, if you've got trades they are doing something like 30%-40% more if you reserve GOW tonight.

Free stuff? I didn't know. Either way, I'm much happier watching game 1 of the WS.

well I just got back, and they gave us a poster, and codes for a theme and gamer pics... but the codes don't work, anyone else having this problem? heh they tried playing it on a PS2 just for the sheer irony... but it wouldn't read it... figures. But the Video looked very nice, and I am EVEN more excited for it's release on the 8th (which I guess is a gamestop/EB games exclusive, 12th everywhere else)

Alright, so I gave in and went because I found out it was later than I originally thought. One other person besides me was there. The Video was the same video on YouTube but in HD, so that was good. In the video when CliffyB says that its not on the Internets, I told the Manager that it was already on the Internets for a while now, he said someone's getting Fired. We got tons of shwag.

I went.They said they didnt recieve much stuff to give away. The only G.O.W. schwag they had were 2 pins(I got one) so they started giving away PC demos.

South texas here....The gamestop was packed here at least 30-40 people. The manager only gave out 3 dog tags and a few gamer pic/theme cards(no,they dont work..yet)I suppose the employees kept the rest for themselves. Typical south texas greed. The video was a little different than the one floating around the net. I gotta say I was impressed with the lighting,particle effects and draw distance. The sound was crap on those tiny samsung/360 kiosks.

No reason to go? Whaaa?

Yeah ... the event was OK ... I was the only one there ... dogtage, codes THAT DON'T WORK for a them and picture pack, and psot of the mural created at E3. The video has nice and beter quality thatn what I usually see on the Interwebs, but not really new content. It was worth the 5 minue drive to my Gamestop, but IMO anyone how drove 20+ minutes really didn't get enough to justify that ....

I almost went but I didn't think it would be worth the drive. Besides, it would have been better had I had some $$ to buy some new games while I was there, that would have made it worth it.

I stopped in about 90 minutes before the start, and jokingly told the guy behind the counter I'd take everything so he could leave at 9:00. He gives me the lanyard and the codes then, so I didn't even need to go back at 9:00. Ended up doing it anyway, and got another lanyard and code. He had Gears of War face plates for sale - they were pretty nice. Sucks that stores all had "different" collections. I'll bet a lot of store employees kept the pins/posters/dog tags, and only handed out codes and lanyards.

I never got a poster. And my codes don't work. Does anybody have working codes for the theme and picture pack?

I live in Coweta, Oklahoma, actually twisted my girlfriends arm to go with me. She lives in Muskogee so we hit the one in the mall ended up being about 15 people in there. No sway though other than the gamer theme and pics card. Everyone was impressed even her. It was really funny some Sony guys stopped in as the mall was closing and were of course saying during the opening scene that " Would be nice if game play was even close to that, of course it isn’t" and that "Resistance Fall of Man game play would look better than the opening scene. Then the screen goes black and the game play kicks in, surprise surprise, no prerendered PS3 tricks it was the game engine. They about lost it. Sure hope that Microsoft is smart enough to have this games trailer and game play videos running on the demo units this holiday season, if they do, how on earth could someone buy a ps3? lol
