Gears of War 3's launch is just around the corner, and Epic Games, in anticipation of it, has launched its first ever title update.

It's now available in both North America and Europe, but it does come with a warning. This title update is actually just a compliance update, which basically means those who already have their copies through pre-orders, and who were in the beta testing phase, can now start redeeming their in-game bonuses.

Thing is, it seems that this udpate might result to having your campaign progress deleted if you had already been playing it before you got the update. The saving grace to this news, though, is that it's only going to be the data from the latest checkpoint you passed which could be affected.

When we said Gears of War 3's launch is just around the corner, it literally is just around the corner as it comes out on September 20th, exclusively for the Xbox 360 platform. Microsoft and Epic sure are going all out for its launch on Tuesday, regardless of the news that it's already been street-broken in Norway.

My son and I are getting ready for the midnight launch at our local Gamestop. He is all excited for it. We are going to go to the one for COD in November. Only stipulation is that he cannot miss school the next morning and he better not fall asleep in class. So he is in there now getting a power nap in!

I'm officially jealous. But the statue would be a hazard in my house. One more weapon for her to throw at my head.

Started playing mine. At first the beta badge didn't unlock, but the weapons did. After restarting the game, it unlocked it.
Game's turning out fun.
