X3F scores a Gears of War 2 COG tag

Behold, fanboys! It's one of those lovely (and quite heavy) metal Gears of War 2 COG tags that other media sites received and other fans are searching for across the globe. Admittedly, we're a bit late on our COG show and tell, but we have a really good excuse. The X3F COG tag was delayed in-transit, thanks to some Locusts interfering by intentionally messing up the package's Fanboy Towers mailing address. No problem, we now have the COG tag in our possession and figured we'd share pictures of it and its CSID. Enter the COG tag's CSID "807081-DJ2T2-EL" over on the Gears 2 Last Day website and you'll unlock a nifty little icon. Did we mention the COG tag is heavy?

LOL Cliffy "Bud Bundy" B has a gears cock ring now!!

you guys should give it away.

to me.

Hell, I'd give X3F my left nut for that - I've already reproduced, I've no more need for it! A COG tag, now THAT would still have uses for years to come!

i wonder what one of these would fetch on ebay

Like Dustin would ever let that go! He's probably already made sweet geek love to that hole in the cog.

I'd put on underneath my sofa.

I'd put *one* underneath my sofa

and wait for Carl the Couch Fairy to leave you a nice salami sandwich?

So a quick viewing of the HTML source shows this URL:

http://gearsofwar.xbox.com/lastday/service/EasterEggService.ashx

With hundreds and hundreds of links for ya, for example:

now u too can get all the icons/wallpaper/etc. without knowing all the cog ids :)

To be honest, an auction for charity would be a great idea. Hopefully a fan ends up with the Tag, but some money to a good cause (Child's Play?) would be even better.

Congrats you guys, i spent about 8 hours the other day at city walk and came up empty handed seems someone probably already took it and sold it on ebay =(

Awesome stuff! As far as I know, you guys have to give this away no?

If i were them i wouldn't give it away. =P

Still... i cant believe this didn't come with the limited edition. It would make it worth buying. imo of course.

About time you got one, now you don't need to buy mine off of me.

speaking of gears2, my buddy's been bragging to me all morning about playing it. i guess its time to head over to his place and see if this game is as good as i think it will be.
