Gear up for Gears 3 by snatching the Gears of War Triple Pack for free

GNX - Gears of War 3 is only a few short months away, and what better way to prepare for the Locust Horde than by picking up the Gears of War Triple Pack for free. Included in the Triple Pack is both the original Gears of War and Gears of War 2, as well as the All Fronts DLC pack for Gears 2, which features all 19 multiplayer maps.

Sounds great, but how do you get it for free? Just walk (or probably drive) down to your local Best Buy armed with the knowledge I'm about to impart on you.

"Just pick up a copy of the magazine while you're at Best Buy and, while I would never tell you to rip the coupon out while no one is looking, there is that option."

Lol, can't argue with free.

Twizlex4659d ago

The police would probably argue with you on that, but I won't tell them if you won't :)

Cookigaki4659d ago

If you're going to steal the magazine you might as well just steal the game.

SixZeroFour4659d ago

"You see, Best Buy is currently selling the Gears of War Triple Pack for $19.99. Additionally, there's a coupon in the July/August issue of Best Buy magazine @Gamer that offers a $20 discount on the Triple Pack if you pre-order Gears 3 at the same time. As an expert in maths, I can assure you that 20 minus 20 is in fact zero, and zero dollars is the same as free."

except that 19.99 plus tax (depending on where you are) would equal about an extra 2.00, so the math would be 21.99 - 20.00 = 1.99 and 1.99 =/= free, but thats just for the anally retentive

Twizlex4659d ago

I have used coupons at Best Buy before, and the tax is only calculated on the final price.

SixZeroFour4659d ago

oh, well i havent used coupons (or very rarely use them) so im not sure if they calculate the price then you give the coupon or you give coupon then they calculate it...but since you say you have used coupons there before, ill have to take your word for it

Twizlex4659d ago

I have. I actually picked up $97 worth of stuff and used a $95 coupon, and all I had to pay was the $2 and change. With tax on nearly $100, it would have been another $6 if they taxed before the coupon, but it was still less than $3 total.

That seems confusing, but it makes sense, haha!

Cookigaki4659d ago

I think it's different depending on whether it's a coupon or a gift certificate. Gift certificates are just like cash and don't actually reduce the price so you still pay the tax.

SixZeroFour4659d ago

@cookigaki - i think thats where i got confused, i was thinking giftcard (which i use a lot more often than coupons) where you use it after the final price is given

but in this case, its apparently a coupon, so twizlex' point remains valid

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756109d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00109d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic108d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing109d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic108d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos109d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin109d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris109d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine109d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz109d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.
