Gears of War Triple Pack hits retail on Feb. 15
20
A previously rumored bundle containing the first two Gears of War games is now official and headed to retail, several months before the debut of Gears of War 3. The Gears of War Triple Pack includes the brotastic original game and its sequel, along with the Gears of War 2: All Fronts Pack. On top of the 19 multiplayer maps in All Fronts, it has Marcus and Dom playing dress-up to get into the biggest Locust party of the year in the single-player DLC, "Road to Ruin."
This doesn't mean that everything is on the disc, however. The fine print notes that maps from Gears' Multiplayer Map Pack 1 and "Hidden Fronts" map pack are not on the disc, but are available from Xbox Live at no charge. The $30 bundle will be available on February 15, perfect for a post-Valentines Day massacre.

I really wish the DLC, as well as the PC version of GoW1 was on the disc. Then again, I should probably upgrade my original 20gig HDD. lol
Also, surprised they wouldn't add the GoW3 beta alongside the Bulletstorm GoW3 beta.

@def PD It's a handy way to drive sales for Bulletstorm, basically. Gears 1 and 2 don't really need that.
Though I agree it'd be a pretty nice inclusion and would possibly incline me to bite.

As a bonus and cleverly themed prize, they should give purchasers a code for dual-wieldable chainsaws in game.
...I would re-buy both Gears just for that if it were true.

Huh...even though I have the All Fronts DLC for Gears 2, I'm tempted to trade in Gears 2 and buy this pack

Too bad Gears didn't continue on the PC.

I never got the original Gears of War (started with GoW2). never bought the DLC. hmm... buy the original Gears for $20 or this multipack for $30 (since I already have GoW2 but no DLC)?

Not included on the disk?? Aaargh, I don't want to spend money just to get download codes. They pulled the same crap with the Borderlands GOTY edition.

Rule #90: Chainsaws, exponentially large explosions, Dizzy, and gratuitous amounts of ridiculous gore has served as a game well made.
