Your GoW Emergence Day planner

Here's what Microsoft has scheduled for Gears of War fans on November 12, otherwise known as "Emergence Day":

  • A 24-Hour Leader board Tournament. The tournament winner receives a one of a kind "Gears of War" branded guitar as well as an automatic bye to the finals of a Global "Gears of War" Tournament planned for 2007.

  • Hourly sweepstakes drawings and prize giveaways including the chance to win one of several Samsung HT-P29 Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound Systems

  • An exclusive free "Gears of War" Gamer pic and theme only available on Emergence Day

  • Game with Fame sessions with legendary heavy metal band and "Gears of War" fans Megadeth, the game's lead designer Cliff Bleszinski and other members of the Epic Games team

  • Never before seen videos including a special Emergence Day transmission from Cliff Bleszinski

  • An MTV "Gears of War: The Road to Launch" Sneak Preview

Not a bad culmination to two years worth of hype. Do you plan on paying attention to this stuff, or will you be too busy actually playing the game?
