Gears of War 2 bundle offers Lancer rifle too!

Category: Xbox 360, Posted: 08/15/2008 at 05:44PM CDT by Frank Ling, Editorial Director

lancer dudeNow look, we're all adults here. Ok, well sort of. Let's admit it, who has pretended to hold the Gears of War Lancer rifle in their hands while making the chainsaw sound as you slice through your friends or imaginary enemies? I see those hands. You can put them down now.

To fulfill your dreams, you can get the Gears of War 2 bundle. But wait, there's more! If you go over to the Amazon.com site and look up the Gears of War 2 bundle, not only will you get your eager little hands on a pre-order for the game, you'll also get a life-sized Lancer rifle replica that works!

Well, it doesn't shoot bullets, but it does have sound effects and vibrates when you pull the trigger. It also has side handles that fold in and out and slides back and forth. The Lancer is 36" long and about 10" tall. The rifle is made to exacting standards and was created from the actual 3D data of the rifle as presented in Gears of War 2.

Batteries not included.

The Gears of War 2 Lancer rifle bundle will set you back $139 and is exclusive to Amazon, so forget about looking for the rifle at your nearest toy store. Epic says that the bundle is selling like crazy so it sounds like quantities may start to dwindle as demand increases.

All I can say about all of this is, "whrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

I'm not one who usually cares about this kind of thing... But... That's just awesome.

That is sweatness, right there. Maybe they'll be kind enough to offer a few of those when they port it to PC.

As a collector of Swag, I can say I'm the only one getting this.

The deal is really "Preorder a lancer. Get GOW2 for free!"

The batteries aren't included, so no.
