We keep getting questions about where folks can buy Gears of War merchandise. We've made a few partnership deals that we're really excited about, and those details are below. I mean, how cool is it that I can buy a Gears hoodie at the mall... we're just so happy with the reception this game is getting.
So you know, we took a major hand in developing these products. We co-authored the strategy guide and drew the maps, did all the writing and layout of the art book, you name it. The faceplates, clothes, etc. are all co-designed with Epic using our game art. Our art director (JerryO), lead designer (CliffyB), and I approve prototypes of every product before anything is made. So between that approval process, and picking only top-notch partners, we're confident this is all cool, quality stuff.
New Line Cinemas: We've just announced a motion picture deal for Gears of War. How cool is that?

Sumthing Else: They'll be releasing a Gears of War soundtrack CD. We've just inked the deal so it'll be a little while before those are in production.
Sony BMG: We're working with Sony to develop some super cool new ring tones based on the Gears universe.
Trends Posters: We're working with Trends to make Gears posters available. We'll likely start with something like the box cover, and then we'll consider expanding into other areas.
I'll update this thread when we announce any new products. We definitely have a few more ideas in the works.
Gears of War licensed stuff!
