The real kicker is that each bonus is exclusive to that store and can’t be obtained anywhere else, so we can imagine the inner angst this will create amongst gamers when trying to decide which retailer to commit their purchase to.
Here’s the list of all the exclusive Gears of War 3 characters you can choose from.
There’s the list, but if actual pictures of them are really what you want then we’ve got you covered. A couple of the pictures are of less-than-ideal quality, but regardless they can be seen in the gallery below:

It was obvious that pre-ordering Gears of War 3 would net buyers something else after the official beta ended to keep the sales rolling in, and the fact that character skins are the bonus makes a lot of sense. A lot of hardcore Gears of War fans are going to be a little miffed about the fact that there’s no way they’ll be able to obtain access to all of the skins without buying the game four separate times, but hopefully Epic Games will include all of the pre-order bonuses as part of their recently announced Epic Edition — following the move by LittleBigPlanet 2’s Collector Edition.
There has been a lot of Gears of War 3 news flying around for the past few weeks, and the fact that the game industry is only two weeks away from E3 means that nobody should expect the Gears news to stop pouring anytime soon.
Where will you be pre-ordering your copy of Gears of War 3 from?
