Available for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, Tom Clancy's EndWar is the first brand-new Tom Clancy franchise since Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell was introduced in 2001.
The Videogamesplus Team has tested Gears of War 2 and Gears of War 2 Limited Edition and confirmed that they are both region free (the bonus disc that comes with the Limited Edition isn't though).
Ubisoft has developed a limited edition headset bundle. Gamers can now get a copy of EndWar along with the official Sony Bluetooth wireless headset or Xbox 360 Wireless headset for $89.99.

By performing several tasks at once, the chips can execute billions more instructions per second than their predecessors."
