Gears of War 3 Limited and Epic Editions Revealed

Xbox Live's Major Nelson tweeted today that Epic has released details of the Limited and Epic editions of the final installment of the Gears trilogy.

The Limited Edition includes the following:

• Octus Award Display Box and Octus Service Medal - Replicas of the honors bestowed on Adam Fenix, Marcus's father, for his work on the Hammer of Dawn
• Unlockable Adam Fenix Multiplayer Character - Each Octus Service Medal replica is engraved with a unique Live code that unlocks Adam Fenix in multiplayer
• Fabric COG Flag
• Personal Effects of Adam Fenix - Includes his "Last Will and Testament", the initial Hammer of Dawn schematic, and other Fenix family mementos

The Epic Edition includes the following:

• Everything from the Limited Edition
• Collectible Marcus Fenix Statue
• The Art and Design of Gears of War by Tom Bissell - Book including 96 pages of interviews, photos, concept art, and more

I'm personally intrigued by the Limited Edition for the extra $20, but I can't justify an extra $80 in my head... that's another full price retail game and then some!

UPDATE - 5/16/11 @ 11:50am - Here's a link to a video unveil of the contents of both editions by Chris Perna.
