Gears of War 2 All Fronts Accidentally Released Today
July 17, 2009 by urloc
It was around 1AM (US Central Time) and while browsing the Xbox Live Marketplace, some users found Gears of War 2 “All fronts” DLC as an available download.
This game is supposed to be released on July 28 for 1600 Microsoft Points but they found it half priced! Just 800 MS points were enough to get the new DLC. According to Epic Games, “The ‘All Fronts’ DLC was leaked for 800 MS points last night around 1AM (US Central). When users attempted to download it, they received an error message.”
But the best part of it was that some lucky people have not only been able to download, they could even play it. In the same company’s forums you can find “Those who bought them right away are playing them RIGHT NOW — if you attempt to download them now you will receive an error message … those [of] you [who] received the first error before Microsoft was alerted can redownload them fine.” “This was a bug or mistake. The DLC is still scheduled for release on the 28th for 1,600 Microsoft points (All Fronts) and 1,200 Microsoft points (Dark Corners).”
So, it seems that staying up at night pays because not only they are playing at an exclusive content, they are doing it at half price. The company asked people who actually have the content not to upload shots nor videos of it… but the excited users can´t wait to show off their newest download so we expect to have full videos later today.
