Gears 2 Lancer bundle selling like 'hot cakes'

Epic Games wants you to know that the Gears of War 2 Lancer bundle (the one that's exclusive to Amazon.com) is selling like "hot cakes" even at the $139 price point. They probably want you to know that so they can further fuel demand by making the product appear to be limited as its sales success soars.

gears 2 looks so cool

[theKiller]

he looks he is directing he speech to little kids(or maybe he is a kid in maturity him self)!!

by the way, he is from Hungary originally!

[GodsHand]

Hell, I pre-ordered it. And I don't even own an Xbox360. But I have played the first GoW, and liked it very much. But it still was no incentive for me to get the console.

[Cyan8313]

question is how fast does hotcakes really sell ?

[Common Sense]

It probably sells like crazy at fat camp though.

[Excalibur]

And I hardly EVER pre-order anything.

[Evil Rant Monkey]

Apparently you're lying.

[Excalibur]

First chance I get, I'll ask me to find out for sure.

[mirroredderorrim]

I pre-ordered it, but not this Bundle. If I wanted a gun like this, I'd contact NASA and ask them to get together with some German scientists. Gears of War 2 will be good enough.

Why would you want a toy gun? This is for children.

[Common Sense]

games for $140 after tax.

[silverchode]

or a real chainsaw.

[N00BZSUCKASS]

2 games not worthy of being on the same planet as gears 2, sure. like some PS3rdplace exclusives. definitely.

I think it is hilarious you were given a disagree by some moron. They are disagreeing with the very source of information that is the basis for the epic comments. Paradox? I am surprised the time space continuum didn't come apart at the seams.

[Alpha_Gamer]

Why are you comparing console sales to toy gun sales?
:/

[morganfell]

We weren't making the comparison, that idiot clifford was when he brought up Amazon.com

When you do that and talk about how hot your product is selling, you are asking for a comparison with every other thing on that same list.

You apparently don't like the fact that when looked at in broad daylight, that bit of bragging about a toy gun doesn't amount to much and is in fact a black eye for MS. I thought this was a console war, not successor to the Mighty Mattel Crown.

[DA_SHREDDER]

You can get a nice peice off the street for even less. This bundle is freakin retarded.

[xhairs9]

That he ate a swiss roll for breakfast yesterday.

Get over yourselves it looks like a good game but you're blowing this game up like a balloon and soon it will pop.

[PimpHandStrong]

ok ok ok

im alright with ppl walking around in costume for halloween but for some to spend the money on a toy gun is really really stupid

well i guess the 360 demograpghic fits into this sort of sales pitch

[silverchode]

the same people that buy this bought the halo3 helmet.

[Imallvol7]

I went off on this the other day too. Be careful!!! These folks love their limited editions and will cut you down!

[matchgrade]

A $70 hollow plastic game-licensed Frankengun?

Common sense doesn't stand a chance.

[cr33ping_death]

while i wont be getting this bundle i will be gettting this bundle, i will be getting the collectors edition, or is it limited edition? well whatever its called.

edit: going by the disgree, i guess i wont be buying the collectors edition?

[Fishy Fingers]

I'm easy, the disc can come in a brown bag for all I care. But seriously, what would you do with that thing?

[Rhezin]

and I for one don't feel like going to prison cuz of some other dumba$$ who committed murda. Yah you could probably get an "ok" handgun for that amount instead of the cheap plastic thing.

[pow3r of t3h c3ll]

stupid 14 years olds aka the average xbox owner

I hope you have fun playing cops and robbers with your new toy!
