Gears of War Gets the Limited Edition Treatment

The Epic Games third-person shooter, anticipated far and wide, will be available in a shiny metal limited edition for buyers who preorder.  No word yet as to whether the extra content will require extra cash, but my bet is on "yes".

The limited edition, set to emerge on November 17th 12th (note: correction), will score you the following goodies:

• A highly collectible embossed metal box
• Destroyed Beauty, the Gears of War hardbound art book
• Bonus special features DVD, including:
• An inside look at the making of Gears of War
• The "Art of Gears of War" trailer
• Gears of War: The Race to E3

“Gears of War” is the first game developed by Epic Games exclusively for Microsoft Game Studios and the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system. “Gears of War” thrusts gamers into a deep and harrowing story of humankind’s epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet.
