Question GEARS OF WAR dilemna

Gears of war 3 is scheduled to come out 3 days from now. My daughter took my xb0x 360 when she moved out and uses it for her DVD player. Since she doesn't have cable, I'm hesitant to take the console back. so, if I want to play gears of war 3 I have to buy something.

If I go with a new Xbox the most cost effective way is the Gears of War 3 limited edition. A cheaper way out would be to buy my daughter an inexpensive blu ray player and take back my old outdated system

Obviously, I'm leaning towards the new limited edition, but, it's a ton of money just to play gears of war, and for the most part, I really dislike the console controllers and prefer gaming on the PC.

What to do, what to do....

EDIT: missed the bit about the BD player.. that seems like your best bet.

I have no idea how much Xboxs are though, if GOW is a FPS game then I would get it for PC.

I would get it for PC as well, except Microsoft will NEVER release it on anything other than the Xbox It's THE game that made the xbox the success that it is. RatBastards

yeah, the BD would have been the least expensive, but..... ummm.... ahhh....
just ordered the GOW Limited Edition package from Amazon. It will be delivered on the 20th which is the games release date. Sick looking box and special controllers... how could I not

After all, it's not quite as expensive as a GTX 580

Thanks though Rich, I just couldn't wait :

Do no Daawg ............ Not sure the game is worth a whole new system, I would buy her the Blue Ray player

Too late Doc Wife ordered it for me Sunday (she's paying too )

Besides, the limited Ed. will probably be worth at least it's new cost for awhile

man consoles suck the big one. After 7 dead units (4 360's/3 PS3's) I gave up on em. Good luck MD, make sure to blow it kisses every time you turn it on and it works lol.
