Holy crap.
Amazon.com took those pesky rumors about a Gears of War 2 Super Special Edition that came with a Lancer and ran with them. They’re serving up something that will probably make Gears fans have to change their pants. Back in a few.

Pre-order a full scale Gears of War Lancer, throw down some extra bones and you’ve got yourself a sweet chainsaw gun and the L.E. of Gears 2. Amazon explains:
We’ve always been envious of Marcus Fenix from the Gears of War franchise. Not because of his cunning or rugged good looks, but because of his ruthlessness when it comes to taking on the Locust Horde. A major part of his weapons cache has always been the Lancer; part automatic rifle, part chainsaw. You’ve always thought how cool it would be if you could get you hands on a Lancer and now Amazon.com is giving you that chance!
Pre-order the Amazon.com Exclusive Lancer and get the Standard Edition of Gears of War 2 free* or upgrade your order to the Limited Edition for an extra $10. Offer limited to products shipped and sold by Amazon.com. Promotion ends on November 7, 2008 at 11:59PST. Offer good while supplies last.
That “*” up there only points to free except for tax and shipping. So, $140.00 will get you a Lancer and the normal version of Gears 2. A 10 spot larger and you’ve got the L.E.; worth it? Yes.
The only question: Are you willing to wait the extra few days to play the game? Will owning the chainsaw gun of epic caliber be worth pouting around all day while you’re buds are off destroying the Locust horde?
