Emergence Day is coming

Regardless of whether or not it was the big announcement, the Gears of War release date has been confirmed. The game's publisher, Microsoft, today announced that "Emergence Day," when the game will be available in North American stores, will take place on Sunday, November 12, of this year. UK stores will begin selling the game November 17.

Gears of War will be available in two packages: a $59.99 standard edition and a $69.99 limited edition. The more expensive version will feature metallic packaging, a Destroyed Beauty art book, and an extra DVD with a "making of" video.

Great way to counter the PS3 launch MS! It's no Halo 3, still a very popular game though. Definitely predictable, but nice to hear it confirmed. So... yeah.. very cool limited edition too, I'll be getting that one for sure.. No one knows if this is the "big" announcement that Epic said would be coming this week, but I'm almost sure it was.

Yeah, that's all.
