Rumor: Gears of War 3 for April 2011

A few things in this life are certain: Oprah will have a new book for you to read every month and you can bet there's a new Gears of War in the works. Edge says a source has put a pin in April 2011 as the release window for the third entry in Epic's series -- and we should expect the first teaser trailer next month, on April 8, with a full-on reveal at E3 in June.

"Microsoft's keen to avoid a clash with Halo: Reach and wants Natal to own Christmas," alleges Edge's source. "That's why we won't be seeing Gears Of War 3 until next year, but expect a major marketing push ahead of its release."

Recently, Epic prez Mike Capps hinted at a major game announcement to be made by the studio during E3. Additionally, EA has teased a "Shooter from Epic" due just before April in Q1 2011.

LOL nope, I could never get in to PC games like I can with consoles. I dunno, I was never good at all those buttons on the keyboard. I'm a controller type of guy lol.

Yeah, me too. I use a computer for work - when I get home I don't want anything to do with mine.

So a console is a good middle road for me.
 
Just pre-ordered the Gears XBOX 320 Gig off amazon. It is just too awesome looking to say no.

So what epedition is everyone getting? I have all 3 preordered and I can't decide. I really love the statue, hate the price. I like getting special editions and the $60 vanilla version is pretty much out of the running..
