    The Gears of War 3 beta is due to launch next year and one of the ways you'll get "guaranteed early access" to it is by acting fast on a Bulletstorm purchase.  
     
    EA and Epic Games have announced the "Epic Edition" of People Can Fly's promising shooter for the Xbox 360, which in addition to offering "exclusive" morning bird access to the Gears 3 beta, will also give owners some bonuses to use in Bulletstorm's multiplayer mode. 25,000 EXP and "visual upgrades" for the leash, Peace Maker Carbine, boots, and armor, round out the rest of the offerings for the 60-dollar edition.
     
      

      
     
    == TEASER == In the press release announcing this package, EA and Epic are encouraging folks to pre-order a copy of Epic Edition since it's a "while supplies last" kind of deal. It's not made clear if this Special Edition is pre-order exclusive, but it's probably not. A lot of EA limited-release, bonus-laden games seem to end up on store shelves after release.

    Bulletstorm hits February 22 for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 in North America. In Europe, the game is expected to launch on February 25.

    Really? I guess I always just notice EA because regardless of my feelings towards the company, I absolutely LOVE  their game specific logo customizations :)

    It's the same price as the standard edition?  That's unexpected.

    yep. Super happy Gears 3 is getting a beta though. 
     
    I'm sure the 360 version of this game is going to do very well because of this, Crackdown-style.

    hmmmm, let's see: 
    If i preorder Bulletstorm "Epic Edition", I get  25 000 EXP, a "visual upgrades" thing, and others shit with the Gears of  War beta codes, all together, that about 60 dollars. And the game will be published by EA....How about no.

    More interested in bulletstorm than gears, might get this for the cosmetic shit, especially now that I won't have Deus ex at the beginning of the year, it'll be this and brink.

    Weird move, not necessarily dumb just unusual. Wonder how well of a promotional strategy it will turn out to be.

    I don't want anymore of this digital bonus stuff. Where are my cloth maps!  
     
     
     
    But really, game looks fun but not going to get it immediately. I'll just wait for it and Gears 3.

    @Wiseblood:  It's the same thing they've done with Bad Company 2, Medal of Honor and Hot Pursuit. Basically all first run copies are limited/epic/special editions. Might even be more than just first run.
     
    The beta token isn't new either - MOH came with a BC3 beta token.
     
     @somejerk:  "Limited Edition" of BC2, MOH and Hot Pursuit are/were readily available around here. Why wouldn't  this be?
     
     All this is, in an incentive to buy the game early on in it's lifespan. I see nothing wrong with that personally.

    I fail to see why people are whining, this is one of those bonus stuff without over charging out the wazoo things. I'm still gonna wait and see how it reviews before I bite, but got some high hopes for People Can Fly.

    It's almost kind of sad how many good looking games are coming out in 2011. It's going to be hard to tell which is my favorite. Well, hopefully I'll have many favorites.

    As much I want to play Gears 3 multiplayer, I'm gonna pass. There will be other ways and I'm not buying a game that I'm not completely interested in to get into the beta.

    EA allowing beta access to a Microsoft published game? 
     
    I see 1st and 3rd party publishers can get along, whereas 3rd party cannot cooperate with another 3rd party.
