Retailers list Gears of War 2: Game of the Year Edition [update]
by Alexander Sliwinski 
{ Aug 25th 2009 at 9:30PM } 
GameStop currently has the product listed at $40 while Amazon has it for $37; what they both agree on is that the GOTY edition has a September 1, 2009 release date. We're currently confirming the release date, price, and existence (!) of the GOTY edition with Microsoft and will update as soon as we hear back on our coms.
Update: Microsoft has confirmed the bundle will release September 1 for $40 in the US.
[Thanks, crazeeseal]

Nice! I wonder what the new chapter will have in store for us gamers!
Shadowbender ( Sweatshop Supporter In Hiding) @ Aug 25th 2009 9:40PM
Sarcasm, right?
ThePhantomnaut @ Aug 25th 2009 9:40PM
Whut?
"...along with the deleted "Road to Ruins" campaign chapter."
Pantsparty @ Aug 25th 2009 9:34PM
LOL at that box quote.
"The Best Xbox 360 game ever made"
Shadowbender ( Sweatshop Supporter In Hiding) @ Aug 25th 2009 9:39PM
Says Mike from Nebraska. ;)
PR0F3TA (PSN - PROPHETA) @ Aug 25th 2009 9:44PM
lol u beat me to it, its not saying much about the 360 with that quote.
.... and who gave GeOW "GOTY"?? or is that just another way of saying "Special Re-Selling You The Same Shit Edition"
AvA (ice~) @ Aug 25th 2009 9:47PM
ahh gears haters. gotta love people who can't respect other peoples opinons! wow, this is a really ironic statement come to think of it.
xgarryx(warXroutine on LIVE and PSN) @ Aug 26th 2009 7:50AM
''the best game you cant play online!''
-or-
''spend countless hours with your friends in gaming lobbies!!''
these are better quotes for this game:(
David @ Aug 25th 2009 10:34PM
These games (LBP too which is coming out soon) should be called "Game of the Last Year" . Game of the Year is false advertisement ;p
SolidSnakeX @ Aug 25th 2009 10:38PM
Sweet!!!......Save More Live better Walmart =)
Ballistic H @ Aug 26th 2009 2:26PM
Btw, which website listed/nominated it as "Game of the Year" last year, this year, or ever for it to actually have a "Game of the Year Edition"?
Aurelius @ Aug 25th 2009 9:35PM
How many games of the year were there?
alienterrorist @ Aug 25th 2009 9:38PM
They will release a GOTY edition even if some 8 year old said it to his friends one day.
Alton Brown [Planeteer | Power of Dueling Banjos] @ Aug 25th 2009 9:44PM
2008 GOTY = Persona 4.
Shadowbender ( Sweatshop Supporter In Hiding) @ Aug 25th 2009 9:51PM
GOTY 2008: Fallout 3.
Alton Brown [Planeteer | Power of Dueling Banjos] @ Aug 25th 2009 9:53PM
Ouch... I forgot about Fallout. Still, I prefer P4. Fallout's a close second.
Shadowbender ( Sweatshop Supporter In Hiding) @ Aug 25th 2009 10:00PM
GOTY 2009: Assassin's Creed 2 (Or Uncharted 2)
GOTY 2010: Bioshock 2 (Or possibly Heavy Rain)
Alton Brown [Planeteer | Power of Dueling Banjos] @ Aug 25th 2009 10:01PM
Why did I get downvoted? Persona 4 is wonderful.
Alton Brown [Planeteer | Power of Dueling Banjos] @ Aug 25th 2009 10:03PM
Shadow, I'd say that the 2009 predictions are spot-on. 2010's waaay too close to call. What about God of War 3 and all of the others that've been pushed into 2010?
ThatPCgameryouhate @ Aug 25th 2009 10:04PM
GOTY 2009: Undetermined.
GOTY 2010: Undetermined.
Dear fellow readers,
do not jinx games that have not released. That would be a shame. Instead, use words like "potential" or, "expected". There are a lot less sad pandas that way.
Sincerely,
Ubisoft and 2K games.
Sly [Planeteer | Power of Teets & Crumpets] @ Aug 25th 2009 10:05PM
GOTY 2009: Modern Warfare 2 (maybe Assassin's Creed 2 or Uncharted 2... maybe.)
GOTY 2010: God of War 3
fixed it for you :)
Fierce360 @ Aug 25th 2009 10:07PM
i am GOTY
Shadowbender ( Sweatshop Supporter In Hiding) @ Aug 25th 2009 10:12PM
Yeah they should be phenomenal games. I'm super excited. God pf War 3 should be dazzling as well.
Oh, and for GOTY 1982: E.T. The Video Game--Heck yeah, I like those pits and Resse's Pieces.
Juande @ Aug 25th 2009 10:25PM
You guys forgot Fable 2 GOTY Edition.
Foetoid @ Aug 25th 2009 10:35PM
2009 GOTY: Left 4 Dead 2
2010 GOTY: God of War 3 or Mario Galaxy 2 or Bioshock 2...too hard to tell yet....OH SHIT, forgot about Starcraft 2 and a 'probable' Diablo 3. 2010 is going to be the Year of the Videogame.
The Dark Wayne @ Aug 25th 2009 10:37PM
there isnt actually a Fable 2 goty edition is there?
NOOK @ Aug 26th 2009 6:05AM
2010 GOTY: Dead Rising 2. And nothing else.
Juande @ Aug 25th 2009 9:34PM
Now is the time for everybody to get Gears! 40 bucks is an awesome deal!
ChuckBartowski @ Aug 25th 2009 9:36PM
Yeah definitely. It doesn't matter that i don't have a 360, I'm still gonna buy it!......
Night Elve @ Aug 26th 2009 10:11AM
Well I was about to buy Gears 2, now I know I will wait a couple of days to buy this version instead :)
Shadowbender ( Sweatshop Supporter In Hiding) @ Aug 25th 2009 9:36PM
Oh...well I guess it's too bad I got my copy of this in June...dang it.
Alton Brown [Planeteer | Power of Dueling Banjos] @ Aug 25th 2009 10:00PM
Out of curiosity, how is the campaign? Is it any good?
Shadowbender ( Sweatshop Supporter In Hiding) @ Aug 25th 2009 10:15PM
It's very good, actually. Super-exciting and wonderful visuals. As usual, the gameplay is awesome.
Alton Brown [Planeteer | Power of Dueling Banjos] @ Aug 25th 2009 10:29PM
Sweet. I might pick it up.
Glen Quagmire @ Aug 25th 2009 11:48PM
Horde ROCKS! Co-op some glitch's but rocks too. not as gray visuals as Gears of war 1
Abriael @ Aug 25th 2009 9:37PM
Isn't it funny how every AAA developer basically claims their game is the "game of the year" with those little nice editions?
Juande @ Aug 25th 2009 9:37PM
You are a real man. +1
ChuckBartowski @ Aug 25th 2009 9:37PM
Someone please find me one First party title for any console that was terrible. I just want to know one exists.
Alton Brown [Planeteer | Power of Dueling Banjos] @ Aug 25th 2009 9:40PM
Urban Champion for NES.
Bradwart @ Aug 25th 2009 9:52PM
Lets see...well, there was Kameo.
WINterfang @ Aug 25th 2009 9:59PM
I don't think Kameo was terrible, just very very very not excellent.
Mr Khan @ Aug 25th 2009 10:03PM
N3 and Wii Music for two.
Bradwart @ Aug 25th 2009 10:05PM
Sudeki, then. I was going to list Kabuki Warriors, but that wasn't a first party title.
Sly [Planeteer | Power of Teets & Crumpets] @ Aug 25th 2009 10:06PM
i second wii music.
Sora @ Aug 25th 2009 11:14PM
Pokemon Battle Revolution.
Shadowbender ( Sweatshop Supporter In Hiding) @ Aug 25th 2009 9:41PM
But Cliff Bleszinski said so.
Shadowbender ( Sweatshop Supporter In Hiding) @ Aug 25th 2009 9:48PM
Epic reply fail. That was to Abriael's comment.
Sev @ Aug 25th 2009 9:42PM
I stopped playing when the fixed everything, but the lag.
Shadowbender ( Sweatshop Supporter In Hiding) @ Aug 25th 2009 9:44PM
What
Lag?
Emblazin @ Aug 25th 2009 9:44PM
I wish they stopped calling games "GOTY", but maybe something like Gears of War 2:Complete Edition. Its not the GOTY in everyone's mind you know...
