I bought Gears Of War 2 on its release date which was November 7th, 2008. I purchased the limited edition game that included a booklet that displays the behind the scenes artwork and making of the game. a bonus disk along with the game that are in a tin case, and a keepsake photo of Dom and Maria. it also came with a code card which will give you a free 48-hour trial of Xbox Live Gold membership, a code to download a map pack of 5 and a code to unlock a gold lancer assault rifle.
I was really looking forward to the sequel to one the Xbox 360 most popular video games. Gears of War 1 was an excellent game. it had excellent graphics with a story that grabbed your attention. the creativity in the weapons and the story made this game stand out from the others. in my opinion I like to think of Gears of War (both 1 and 2) a revolutionized Halo.
Like Halo, Gears of War both 1 and 2, have excellent online play that brings that scary, exciting chop 'till you drop game play feeling right to your television. Online play has very similar features to Halo 3 but in Gears of War 2 you cannot have guests play with you.
If you like exciting shooters with an excellent story and amazing graphics Gears of War is your game. however I highly recommend that you buy Gears of War 1 before you buy Gears of War 2 (If you haven't already).
Gears of War as gone so far with its High Definition graphics. the Xbox 360 has always had the option of having high definition but you can really see it in gears of war. with many new moves in the game like being able to hold an enemy hostage and use them as a shield and the new execution moves really make the game come alive.
What's great about it: Amazing graphics, Excellent story, Creative Gameplay
What's not so great: Nothing what so ever
I would recommend this to a friend!

Should I get an extended warranty for the xbox 360 or not?
I know microsoft has an extended three year warranty which is why im wondering if a best buy warranty is needed
I don't think that it would hurt to Get the extended warranty because then if anything happens to it with in the next 4 years you will be covered and if a new Xbox 360 is needed in order to fix your problem it wont cost you a penny.

What kind of in store coverage can I get for a new 360?
as far as in store coverage goes, Microsoft offers a 1 year warranty but you can also purchase an extra 2 year warranty from Best Buy.
