The headline pretty much says it all, but head over to Xbox.com for the dates, details and rules. Good luck.
Update: To be clear, you can win your part in the $25,000 in prizes
Link doesnt work major!
nice
US Only. Typical.
@DeathsKamikaze
I guess it's not working cos we're using the UK version of Xbox.com
screwed over again. We pay the most for Live and get sod all.
I'm more annoyed that the patch still didn't fix anything, but I guess we shouldn't expect so much being over 3,000 miles from the servers.
@Habenero Pepper
Yep, completely right. Im used to being screwed over now. I just dont buy much anymore.Its only 25k anyway :P
Got my hopes up, checked the linked looked great, then i got shot in the heart again, US residents only, Like others said :(
Yeah Major, where are you getting "win 25K" from? The only thing in the Official Rules for the 13 Days of Gears contest that even comes close to this is "Approximate Retail Value of all prizes combined: $26,610.35".
Now as for what really is offered, I'd really love to get a chance at that sweet Samsung 40" 1080p HDTV! It's just a shame that you have to play on all 13 days in a row and the specific mode listed just to even get a chance at it. :(
LOL, they have to do this, to make more people play Gears, single player is enjoyable aka why I own both, but online is just crap :p fps online much faster pase etc.
25k?
25k of what?
Headline does not "say it all."

Ok call me crazy, but I don't see anywhere in that where one person can "win 25K". Were you maybe thinking of a different contest, Major?
With this i wouldn't doubt if gears of war 2 was number 1 for the first time in the next top 10 xD;
US only again... sweet
I love these kind of promotions. I won some free Microsoft points from one of the Halo 3 promotions they did.
Aww... I already traded it for Skate 2. Ah well... I think I got a better deal anyway... :D
What does 'Friday the 13th' have to do with Gears of War? Ah, whatever. Contests are contests.
My system just red ringed, can I get a prize by default sense I can't play? >:(
give the rest of us some sort of competition to win stuff
I agree with Broxy Bear.
uhg no thnx I'm not gonna bother myself.....
Larry, can you confirm if playing in Training Ground with bots will fulfill the requirements? Thanks.
You couldn't give me that stuff for free to play GoW2.
That game is over. Trading it in me thinkks.
Such a shame, the first was amazing.
