360 - Gears of War - Amazon Gets Gears of War "Headshot" Locust GamerVision Reports: "Way back in April, while scoping NECA's wares at the New York Comic Con, I took notice the Gears of War line had a Locust with an exploding head. Cue "Dreamweaver," I was in love. I had never seen an action figure with quite the attention to the source material as this one. Immediately, I began asking (read: begging) NECA for information about when and where I'd be able to get this wonderful piece of craftsmanship. They had no answer for me then, but I was persistent, asking them every opportunity I had. With last week's launch of the Lancer Bundle pre-order, I asked my guy at NECA if he had any info about the "Headshot" Locust. He told me to expect an announcement shortly, and he was right. Today, NECA broke the news Amazon.com would be the exclusive retailer for the action figure."

360 - Gears of War -  UTIII disc to feature Gears 2 video? Eurogamer reports:

Had you been on Play.com this morning, looking to purchase a copy of Unreal Tournament III for Xbox 360, you might have spotted something interesting.

The packshot shown on the site featured a sticker advertising that the disc includes a Gears of War 2 video.

The packshot is still there, but the sticker has since mysteriously disappeared.

This isn't the first time such a bonus has been hinted at. Back in April Mark Rein told Eurogamer, "You might want to keep a close eye on the Unreal Tournament 3 disc. There might be something Gears of War 2 related on that."

When asked if that something might be a new trailer he replied, "Might not be! Might be. Whatever!"
