Gears of War: Judgment pre-orders go live today, get an in-game gun

Gears of War: Judgment is available now for pre-order at "participating retailers." We've scoped out GameStop, Amazon and Best Buy, and all three have Judgment open for pre-order online.

Pre-orders of Judgment get the Classic Hammerburst in-game weapon, a standard-issue assault rifle of the Locust Army during the E-Day attack. Epic hints at retailer-specific bonuses, but so far of the big three, only Amazon provides details about a perk: Pre-orders on Amazon get the "Young Dom" competitive multiplayer character skin alongside the Hammerburst.

Check with your retailer of choice for potential pre-order info. Judgment is set to launch on March 19.
