Microsoft today revealed the anticipated ship date for the latest title from Epic Games, Gears of War. The game is set to his stores on November 12, 2006. Gears of War will come in two editions; this seems to be a requirement for high profile game titles. The standard version will retail for the next-generation price of $59.99. The limited edition will retail for $69.99, and includes an art book and DVD with bonus materials, plus an exclusive metal box. Gears of War should be one of Microsoft’s biggest sellers this holiday season. Surely it is just coincidence that the game ships only the week before the Playstation 3 goes on sale in the US.
