Hey guys, I'm wondering if you could answer a question for me. Yesterday I decided to give in and get live and halo 3 (im dedicated to fps on pc ; ) and even after just one night playing multi online with my friends i can say i loved it! Anyways, I wanted to get another game for multi, and I watched vids of gow multi and ive played single player and i loved the gameplay. I bought this at ebgames here in canada and i was amazaed to see the price of 60 cdn used for gears! Im sorry but shouldnt gears be on the platinum hits list? Like, by now since it did so well, shouldnt i be able to pick it up new for 35 bucks? Why is microsoft not putting some of these games on the platinum hits list? Regardless ill pretty much be busy with halo 3 on 360 now haha, but its kind of annoying to see prices like that for games that have been out for over a year.

Problably becasue they're still making quite a bit of money from titles such as Gears of War.

The game hasn't been out for even a year yet, and it won't go platnium for awhile.

Technically, they should, but if a game sells really well they won't put it on Platinum hits.

I wish Gears of War was on the platinum list. :)

Its a year old and still sells for $60, whereas evey other game like Rainbow and GRAW are $40 new.

It depends how much it sells... I don't think it will be $60 for as long as Oblivion was (year and a half i think), but at the very least a year (still has a month).

If the games sell they won't be a plat. hits for awhile (if they don't sell at all they probably won't either because i think they need to sell at least so much).
