Archived: Gears of War Emergence Day Details

A lot of rumors have been going around. Here are the facts. Incase you didnt know, Emergence Day isnt really the release date. The game will be shipped November 7, 2006 for sure. I have heard it will only be available in some stores including Gamnestop and EB Games on the 8, and iavailabe in stores including Best Buy on "Emergence Day" (Nov. 12, 2006).

On Emergence day (Nov. 12, 2006) many events will take place for Xbox Live members to participate in. This includes tournaments, gamerpic/theme downloads, and more!

Here are the event details:
* A 24-Hour Leader Board Tournament. At stake is a one-of-a-kind Gears of War branded guitar as well as an automatic bye to the finals of a Global Gears of War Tournament that's going to take place in 2007
* Hourly sweepstakes drawings and prize giveaways including the chance to win one of several Samsung HT-P29 Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound Systems
* An exclusive free Gears of War Gamer pic and theme only available on Emergence Day
* Game with Fame sessions with legendary heavy metal band and Gears of War fans Megadeth, the games lead designer Cliff Bleszinski and other members of the Epic Games team
* Never before seen videos including a special Emergence Day transmission from Gears of War lead designer Cliff Bleszinski
