#00110011: Gears of War 2 Special Edition Content

I bought the Special Edition of GoW2 from Amazon.com on launch day, and with it I got a tin case, second dvd filled with videos, gamer pics and other assorted goodies, and the code to unlock a Gold-Plated Lancer assault rifle, which only comes with the Special Edition.

Well, I love my Pimpgun(tm), but I feel incomplete without the other weapon.
So now I am attempting to acquire the Golden Hammerburst, which is the other Starting weapon in GoW2.(Acquisition of this weapon initially required one to be at a Gamestop at Midnight on the day of release, not something that I could do)

Like a good nerd, I put my trust in the interwebs and looked on Ebay. There I found many of them for sale, along with the Lancers and some Launch day themes.All of them went individually for about the average price that the upgrade to Special Edition cost on launch day.

I purchased one and am waiting to receive it but I figure some of you might be in a position to want these even though you weren't able to get them earlier.Here's an option:
Look on Ebay, they have them in good amounts and most of the sellers are in good standing.
But remember, Ebay is ALWAYS risky, so don't get mad at me if you get scammed.
Check reputations and sales records.


If you haven't purchased the game yet but you will want those weapons, look for a new Special Edition copy first, then, since they are few and far between anymore,look on Ebay for a copy and then the codes separately.

2 quick notes: A. Don't take it if he says he wants to "test" it, testing would require entry of the code, which nullifies it's use for YOU, and B. Don't get Launch Themes on Ebay, they are a nice, but they are also risky, and you can get GoW2 themes on Xbox Live for the same price, and they don't scam you ever.
