I preordered Gears of War at GameStop last week when I overheard the guy on duty talking about the fact that you can get it a few days before the official release by doing so. I guess they have some sort of special deal with Epic or Microsoft or something. Either way, I'm excited about that.

And I think I'll go preorder Portrait of Ruin after reading about all the special stuff included in the package. Far too good a deal to pass up.
