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?

Awesome.

Also, will you have to be playing the game to get the theme and gamerpics? or will it just be on XBLMP

I hope the gamerpic and theme will be on the ltd edition tin because those of us in Europe don't get the game till the 17th :'(
