Gears of War 3, season pass incoming
Well we all know that I’m a huge Gears of War fan and that I’m seriously looking forward to its release next month. Epic Games has decided to implement a season pass for its DLC content giving gamers what equates to a 33% discount on future DLC for the game and an exclusive Liquid Metal Weapon Set.
The Season Pass entitles you to the first four installments of downloadable content that will roll out over the course of the next year, with the first releasing this November. Epic has been pretty good with its DLC for the franchise but I don’t know if I want to dish out 2400 Microsoft Points for a season pass. Okay, nevermind … I’m going to do it because I love the franchise. And let’s face it, it sucks not having all the maps your friends might have. And it beats paying for them individually.
But then again, the history of Gears of War DLC suggests that at some point there will be another edition of the game with all of the DLC included and there will be discounts. So I suppose you should decide which route works best for you.

That’s quite pricey, but I plan to buy it anyway. I’ll probably buy all the DLC, so at least this way I’m saving money.

This is the type of game that I expect awesome DLC from anywhoz so I’ll bite if I have the cash.

i feel like if you pay that much you wont even be saving money. you really think its going to be 800 points or more off on each dlc?

That is quite pricey but I will probably get it as the GOW Franchise is my favorite. So looking forward to this game. Cannot wait.

I can see this as a deal for the 4 maps, then you get the free liquid metal skins for the weapons. sweet.
can’t wait for the 4 player co op. 22 days and counting. We can get a group together and burn through the story. we need a unscripted night too.

“Revealed today, the “Gears of War 3” Season Pass entitles you to the first four installments of downloadable content that will roll out over the course of the next year, with the first releasing this November.”
“Available Sept. 20 for 2400 Microsoft points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, the season pass represents a 33 percent savings versus purchasing the add-ons individually, and also includes an exclusive Liquid Metal Weapon Set.”
Key points. The Pass “entitles” you to the first four DLC. It “represents” a 33 percent savings, over buying each one individually. So for 2400MSP you get four DLC packs and a weapon set.
Not a bad deal, I just have to work my way up to 1900 more MSP by Sept 20th.
