There is one guaranteed way to gain access to the highly sought after Gears of War 3 beta which is expected to kick off early next year. All you’ll need is about $60 worth of disposable income.
Electronic Arts has announced that anyone who pre-orders Bulletstorm: Epic Edition, exclusive to Xbox 360, will get to play in the Gears of War 3 demo. Purchasing the standard edition of Bulletstorm for PS3 or the PC will not gain you cross-platform players access. Bulletstorm hits stores on February 22, 2011.
Some questions have arisen in the gaming community since this news first was announced on Friday. Epic Games have addressed the most common which I am sharing right here.
First, for now the only places you can pre-order the Epic Edition of Bulletstorm is at Gamestop and Amazon.com. In the UK, Amazon’s UK site is the only option. Additional retailers could be added but there is no guarantee.
If you can only find the standard edition of Bulletstorm at Amazon (as it is currently labeled) or Gamestop, don’t worry. Any pre-order of the standard edition for Xbox 360 will automatically upgrade the to Epic Edition when it ships.
