The Legendary Edition of Halo 3 included a replica Spartan Helmet and this year, the GoW 2 bundle, which Amazon is now taking pre-orders on, will include a life-size replica of The Lancer, a chainsaw-bayonet rifle! When you pull the trigger, the gun will start to vibrate and make a chainsaw noise. It also packs a removable clip, as well as a adjustable side handle.

The bundle is selling for $139.99 and will include the regular edition of GoW 2. For an extra $10, instead of getting the regular edition, you will obtain the limited edition of the game.

Last year, the Legendary Edition of Halo 3 took advantage of the most diehard of the series' diehard fans by charging them $129 for a bundle that included the game and replica Spartan helmet packaging. Microsoft is pushing the upper limits of pricey premium packages a little further with this year's Xbox 360 sci-fi shooter sequel, Gears of War 2.

Amazon.com is now taking preorders for an exclusive Gears of War 2 bundle that includes the game and a lifesize replica of the series' iconic chainsaw-bayonet rifle, the Lancer. The package sells for $139.99 and comes with the regular edition of Epic Games' third-person shooter, although gamers can tack on an extra $10 to get the limited edition of the game instead

    I'm going to have to go pre-order this tomorrow. This is probably the best bundle feature in gaming history.

    Well, this is pretty cool, but how much ammo does it come with?

    And does it come with fuel for the Chainsaw Bayonet?

    I give it two weeks after it's released until somebody modifies the Lancer to have a functioning chainsaw bayonet.

    It's a shame tha it comes out in November, though. That would be an awesome part to a Halloween costume.

    That it *bleep*ing sweet. If I were actually going to buy this game, it would be worth the $70.

      Hang it on the wall.

      I woulda gotten it but I have to think about Rock Band 2. They both come out within a months period of each other, I'm prety sure. And I don't want to spend $350+ on games in that short of time.

      It looks cool, but not for me. Now if it was a real Lancer that'd be a whole different story.

    Is this only for the US? Because I just tried pre-ordering it from Amazon.com and they wouldn't ship it to the UK

    This is what my birthday money is going to. The special edition with the Lancer. I think that'd be a better deal.

    So is this only through Amazon, or would I get it from Gamestop too? Because the more I look at that picture, the more I want it.

    You know it has a similar look to one of the bad company launchers. Its pretty sick If I get a 360 I'll definitely pre-order. But I don't mind for the launcher though. The game will suffice.
