So I was at the Microsoft Store at Century City when I noticed a GREAT deal
for us hardcore FPS gamers.
If you purchase the pre-orders for Gears of War 3, Battlefield 3, Modern
Warfare 3 and Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition, you'll instantly
receive a $125 gift card to the Microsoft Store. This makes the price go
from $59.99 x 3 + $39.99 (Halo) - $125 Gift Card = $94.96 + tax in your area.
Take note, I see this as a great deal since a LOT of my money goes towards
in-game purchases anyway so...
Asked the Store rep and she (Adriana) claimed that this was valid at all
Microsoft Stores (RETAIL ONLY) and its YMMV online.
Hope this helps some fellow gamers out there!
