JB Hifi are pretty good at writing fair and accurate reviews of video games, and now they’re giving us our first look at Gears of War 3′s limited edition box art.
Well, this is certainly a game I would buy. It may even be a cover worth paying A Whole Lot More Money for.
Thank you Joel for sending this in!

Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 10:42 AM$69 is a steal for the standard edition.
EJH
Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 11:03 AMWell except that I bought the limited edition version for $59 from ozgameshop
Only problem is that I’m still waiting for it to arrive!!
mjhellscream
Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 11:59 AMWhich is exactly the reason why I still shop in brick and mortar stores. As cheap as the prices are at ozgameshop, I don’t like waiting two weeks for a game to arrive.
Generally, someone, somewhere reduces the price down to an acceptable level around release. Then I get EB to pricematch. If not, I wait till they have their sales and buy.
I’d rather support local counter games stores, because I don’t want to see them die out.
Namarrgon
Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 12:23 PMMeh, I’ve waited a couple years for it, I can wait a couple more weeks.
Though I’d be tempted to buy locally at $69 to save that, if I hadn’t ordered from ozgameshop for only $45…

Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 10:50 AMI feel like I have been ripped off by not purchasing this copy of the game.
Rupert
Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 10:56 AMSo this is why I noticed my copy was pre-opened, then plastic wrapped again?

Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 11:17 AMIs the one on the left the ACL edition? XD

Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 2:53 PMMaybe if GoW3 used the DXHR engine :P

Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 12:03 PMIf there’s a criticism of the Unreal Engine it’s that it does sometimes take a while to load in full resolution textures.

Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 12:14 PMWhy does the tree have hands? WHY DOES THE TREE HAVE HANDS!!!!
compl3x
Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 2:54 PMI think they are supposed to be little branches or twigs. :p.
I don’t know where this or the Duke review JB stores are because the one I go to is pretty shit. The workers there are completely indifferent and unhelpful.
FitzBatman
Friday, September 23, 2011 at 1:22 AMSame here. Likewise with EB. They are all either trying to ignore you or are just patronising and rude. Give me ozgameshop any day.
zackr.

Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 12:16 PMHey I know the guy that drew that. He will love that he has been profiled on such an amazing site about videogames, which he loves more than women.
attila
Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 12:23 PMI like the underline you can see for the treetop – like the “artist” needed to do a draft first.
DeeK
Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 12:38 PMI dunno. Seems more likely to be the box art for the ICO HD remake. They’re, like, holding hands and stuff.
Braaains
Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 1:02 PMThey should take a leaf out of Sony’s book and do a reversible cover with this on the other side.

Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 1:06 PMHa ha brothers till the end oh and rainbows and lollipops :-/
Ben
Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 1:18 PMMeh I can get the standard edition for $60 in Melbourne CBD. Dungeon Crawl on Elizabeth st. Get there for cheap releases!
Ally
Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 4:56 PMMy favourite part is that they obviously drew it in pencil first before comitting to Sharpie.
Misato
Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 5:31 PMHaha, awesome. Note the life like renditions of the human characters and the Sun seems to be heeding the medical advice of not looking at itself, it’s using glasses to check out it’s reflection. So realistic.

Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 6:40 PMi like that the guy on the right is obviously dom, due to the beard :P
