Ice-T, rapper, actor, original gangster, Gears of War fan and occasional unboxer, directs his taking things out of boxes talents at the limited edition Gears of War 3 Xbox 360 and one “big-ass Lancer”. Yeah. Real talk.
Ice gives us our first look at the Gears-themed console in the wild, an Xbox 360 that lands in just a couple weeks, September 20 in North America. And before you start thinking that Ice is frontin’, the artist remarks “I’m not frontin’ on y’all. I’m not here trying to act like I’m special or anything.” It’s just that he’s in the game, portraying Griffin, and got the hook up from Epic Games’ Rod “GearsViking” Fergusson and Cliff “Dude Huge” Bleszinski.
But you can see all that, and what one big-ass Lancer looks like to the scale of one Ice-T, in the video above.

Friday, September 9, 2011 at 9:38 AMWait! Casual mode? Pretty weak Ice-T. That is possibly the best limited edition console I have ever seen. If I didnt have an Xbox360 slim already I’d be all over that… Who am I kidding I will probably buy it at some stage!

Friday, September 9, 2011 at 11:12 AMWhat a total waste and this is mindless western consumerism at its finest. That lancer serves no functional purpose and merchandising like this is simply unsustainable. When are people going to realise that they simply don’t need peripherals like this? Can’t the just be happy with the game? As I do think it will be an awesome game. But stuff like this is stupid and ridiculous!
