Announced this past July during the craziness that was E3 2007, Shacknews is reporting that
Gears of War on the PC will be hitting retail shelves this November 6th with exclusive content not seen in the Xbox 360 version.
Gears PC will come jam packed with brand new content including five additional chapters, three new multiplayer maps, a new King of the Hill gametype, a game editor and the infamous Brumak boss fight. As you can see, there's lots of fun and interesting goodies in the new PC version, all of which
won't see the light of day on the 360. It's sad really and we refuse to quit complaining about it. Where's the
Gears 360 love Epic, where's our love?

I am not complaining about the extra matchmaking, and map builder. I am complaining about a new Act with a huge boss. This just says to me, hey 360 owners, we rushed your build for a deadline, but we don't want to piss of PC gamers with a short game so we are adding a new Act and Boss.
Plus I loved gears, but like Halo 3 the Campaign was just a bit short.

Well, I don't have a high end PC, nor can I afford one, so I guess that counts me out.

@20: Absofuckinglutely. Where the hell did they get the idea that no-one would buy THE BEST 360 game of last year on the PC unless it had extra content. I can still remember all the hype that was the build up to Emergence Day, why wouldn't PC gamers want the 360 version? (Gears Lite?)
That's bullshit if I ever heard it!
Does feel a bit like Epic are saying "Look you've had Gears, now fuck off and be glad."
Don't get me wrong, I love the game. Just feels like it was us (360 owners) that helped to put Gears where it is today, yet PC owners get all the extra bits we were crying out for.

prediction: said extra content comes out on the 360 a few months after GoW's PC launch
of course they're calling it exclusive, to get you suckers to buy the PC version!

Hey YourSlay3r!

I'm sooo getting this game, I just ordered me my new computer parts https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=6007911&WishListTitle=Current+Bought+Order
that's what I ordered but not all from newegg since they charge S&H so I ordered all but the ram and gfx card from zipzoomfly and total cost was $1109.39. Now I'll just have to gut out my current crap rig and put it in the new puter.
I'm now ready to play UT3,GOW and any other games that're coming out this year
