What? It looks like it's just the design printed on the DVD case.

I agree, maybe it's textured on the case?

It looks like the lancer in the picture is just art on a steel box which is halfway slid out of its plastic outer case. The mistake is perfectly understandable though, because you guys have had a very long week.

Yeah that's a picture on the right side, not a Lancer. If you look close, you can see it's even a little enlarged compared to the Lancer on the box art.

Normally I don't buy collector's editions but I might have to purchase this if it comes with a Lancer.

If true - Sold. Not so much for the toy lancer, just cause i have a weird obsession with metal game cases and a golden lancer is awesome.

Ugh, I JUST ordered the Fable II limited edition set...I don't know if I can afford to order this too...But if it comes with a lancer (sigh) this holiday season is going to be hard on my wallet.

i bought the LE version of Gears & plan on doing the same for Gears 2.

i wonder if the Gold Lancer can be toggled on & off - hopefully it can.

That't what I'm wondering. I mean it would be pimp to sodomize a dood with a gold chainsaw and everything ... but I don't want people spotting me from half a level away because my gun is bright yellow or something.

If it's cheap enough, I'm getting it. But gold-plated lancer? Nty.

It's just an embossed case like GoW 1 and the DMC4 SE, If you look closely as you say then theres about 3-4 inches of metal beneath the saw.

Get some sleep Dustin. It's just the tin box ;-)

I'd be a little embarrassed to be playing with a gold lancer that says I spent $10 extra on the LE edition. Not to mention it would make you an instant target.

I'm not advocating piracy, but I'm pretty sure anyone who looks hard enough will be able to find a code for the gold lancer in no time.

Maybe even a keygen for it? Who knows.

I'm not 100% sure how keygens work but considering the code is for input on the Xbox Live market place it would be pretty hard for someone to program a keygen.

A mini lancer would be sweet, for about 5 minutes.

I dunno what i'm going to do. I generally just buy the standard editions because Limited/Collector editions come in ridiculously large cases that don't fit in my DVD stand. I'll probably pick up the standard copy because of this but i love game cases that are made of Tin. Bioshock, Halo 2 had great cases.

I wouldn't want a Lancer anyways they are the regular ol' boring everyone uses weapon. I stick with the Hammerburst.

Arg, just more confirmation that the lancer is going to be way overpowered in this game.

Oh well, it'll still be cool to have. It's be really sweet if they released a bunch of versions that each had different weapons on the cover and came with different toy weapons.

Why don't they just make the tin the opposite of the Gears 1 tin, a red tin with a black Gears logo? That would be awesome up on the shelf next to the Gears 1 tin.

I guess I should have commented before the update but it definitely looked like a steel dvd case which the original lancer slip cover is over both with the same design.

Will it be just like Halo 3's cat helmet? Rumor shortages, claim total sell out, then a month or two after release Amazon can't get rid of them for the price of the non-limited edition?

I hate limited editions. anything marketed as "collectible" immediately becomes uncollectible.

If I could get my Spartan helmet wearing cat to wield the mini-lancer then we'd have something worth writing home about.

I don't think there are any rumor shortages here. Just your standard run-of-the-mill collector's edition, they're not pushing it as anything more.
