Gears 3's Limited and Epic editions to cost £60 and £100
Microsoft just dropped details and prices on Gears of War 3's two special editions, with the latter not for the budget-conscious.
Gears of War 3 will be available in three editions when it launches on September 20, with the standard, Limited and Epic SKUs to cost £50, £60 and £100 respectively.
The Epic and Limited editions are detailed in a new vidoc, Gears 3: Inside the Wicked Workshop, which you can watch below.
The movie has Gears art boss Chris Perna showing the creative process in shaping Gears of War 3 and the "ultimate fan collectibles" of the action game's special editions.
The Epic edition features "a hand-crafted statue of Marcus Fenix, designed by his own hand and brought to life by the expert artisans at Triforce."
Here what you'll get is you decide to "go large":
