It’s been a while since I’ve done an unboxing, but it’s September 20th and that means it’s time to kick off the mega gaming season with an unboxing of the Limited Edition of Gears of War 3!

The Limited Edition includes:

Octus Award Box

• The display case for the Octus Service Medal bestowed upon Major Adam Fenix, father of Marcus Fenix; the box contains Adam’s remaining personal effects gathered prior to his tragic death during the Battle of Ephyra; a sentimental keepsake belonging to Marcus is also included.

Octus Service Medal

• A zinc-alloy replica of the cog-shaped medal awarded to Adam Fenix in recognition of his work on the Hammer of Dawn.
• Dimensions: 77 mm (3 in.) x 10 mm (0.4 in.).

This is by far, the biggest unboxing article I’ve ever written, due to the large amount to content I’ve had to go through.  Since the Legendary Edition also includes the Limited Edition of the game, this unboxing will count for both.

Limited Edition includes:

• Game disc housed in recovered ONI ”black box”
• An exclusive  Elite armor set for use in multiplayer modes
• Artifact bag containing Dr. Halsey’s personal journal and other classified documents and effects that unravel long held secrets from the “Halo” universe

Legendary Edition includes:

• Everything from the limited Edition
• Noble Team statue expertly crafted by the artisans at McFarlane Toys. Individually molded, hand-painted and individually numbered.
• UNSC-themed custom packaging
• An exclusive multiplayer Spartan armor effect

Anyway, lets get started.

• Cardboard case to hold everything in

Unboxing after the jump.

I picked up the “hardened” edition of Modern Warfare 2 today.  Here’s a sort of unboxing and my thoughts on it.

The damn plastic slip case was so shiny, it was hard to take a picture of it without my reflection on it.

You get this spiffy hardcover artbook.

And the game comes in this tin case.  Inside you get a code for the HD COD1 download, and a crappy 4 page black and white manual.  That is it.  At $109 I was hoping for at least some kind of special features disc.
