With only 1000 in existence the Gears of War 2 COG tags are some of the most sought after bonus items to acquire for any Xbox 360 game, and now X3F now has two. This tag, coming from a small stockpile of only 30 in Canada, comes straight out of Toronto and enjoys hockey, Tim Horton's coffee and the Toronto Maple Leafs -- as bad as they are, unfortunately. Want to unlock its secrets? Check out the Gears of War 2 COG tag 'Last Day' site to find out what this tag reveals. Punch in the CSID #: 777150-V2V3U-EL and unlock the mystery within ... spoiler, it's a rad wallpaper image of Marcus Fenix pulled from the Last Day trailer.

Promise you won't use it as a hockey puck.
On second though, please make a video of it if you do.

I hope your planing on giving one of those away to the community. I dont think microsoft intended to have a guy on an online blog try and horde multiple cog tags. Pretty sure there meant 1 per person.
a buddy of mine went down there (toronto) to try and get one after jades post but was unable to obtain one. Its makes me angry knowing xav took his (or some1 elses) when they already have one.

Dustin has one in Minnesota and I have one in Toronto.
They were sent to us we did not seek them out intentionally.
Thought I'd clarify this before anyone else takes a sip of hater-ade.

Well if they were givin to you, and its not actually you personally who went for 2 for yourself then im fine with that.
And yes im serious. Theres whole threads on various forums with people trying to get these tags and going at great lengths to do so. Seeking out multiple of these tags for yousrself would be no differnt then going to a console launch and buying all consoles as the first in line when theres a line of people behind you. You would have to be a real jerk to do so, and I like to call jerks out.
But as xav said, the other is dustins, not his so theres no problem, no1s a jerk here :p. Enjoy your cog tag.

Also we should clarify some COG tags are specifically for press while others are for community.
Press tags don't unlock the best contact, community tags do.

It would be Numero Dos. Not Two. Just to continue with the Spanish theme.

Xav, I'll do almost anything for that tag. Meet you behind the Heartland FutureShop tonight at midnight, nudge nudge wink wink. Please don't tell my wife and daughter.

Thanks X3F for sharing!
What a god awful game website. Took me a few minutes to find out where to input the code. Hint for anyone else: click the tiny red COG gear icon right below the main screen.
