So I was looking at GameStop's website (don't ask why, I don't even know for myself as to why...) and I saw this: http://www.gamestop.com/games/gears-of-war-3-retro-lancer-bundle/91046
Anyone gonna buy this? I wanted to get the Gears 2 edition that had the lancer but I didn't have the money at the time. This may prove to be something I can't pass up if I do decide to get another Xbox and have the money.
(Note: If there is a topic about this already, please delete this. I looked for one and couldn't find it)

Gears 3 Retro Lancer Bundle
I'm guessing this is separate from the announced Epic edition. I don't remember Epic talking about these things. I'll pass on them though, I'm only interested in the limited.
Edit: Here's a video to show you what I'm talking about:

@scarace360: If it's like the Gears 2 regular lancer, it's a full size replica (A massive assault rifle)Ok sold. Im gonna buy one and hang it above my arcade cabnit.

Oh, evidently there's a separately listing for just the Lancer, and it has pictures of it:

And here's a picture of just the lancer if you don't want to go to GameStop's site:
Lancer
- As people have said, large clip size, low recoil, weakest of the three but you can supress and obviously chainsaw in CQC.Retro Lancer
- Powerful, high recoil, bayonet charge. (Sounds the best)Hammerburst
- Powerful, Semi automatic, Accurate/iron sights, low clip size. (Sounds the worst)The whole sound thing is just because I dislike the way the Hammerburst sounds but really like the way the Retro sounds, its not a big issue but coming from games like BOB Hells Highway and Bad Company 2 that have great weapon sounds it's a little dissapointing.
