Best Buy Canada Launches Gears of War 2 at Midnight Opening Events

Best Buy Canada will launch Gears of War® 2 at midnight opening events at all Best Buy locations across the country (8 a.m. in Quebec and Gatineau).

Gears of War 2 picks up six months after the events of Gears of War® – gamers will find themselves taken back into the deep and harrowing story of humankind’s battle for survival against underground creatures known as the Locust Horde. Gears of War 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed best-seller Gears of War, which sold over three million copies in just ten weeks, and was the fastest-selling next-generation game of 2006. Both Gears of War and Gears of War 2 are designed exclusively for the Xbox 360® console. For more information on Gears of War 2 visit the Gears of War Emergence Day site.
