Console question: would you rather have a PS3 or an Xbox 360? Some gamers prefer one console platform over the other, while other gamers – the more dedicated ones who can afford them at least – just pick up both.

Microsoft just put up the console’s Gears of War 3 edition up for pre-order on Amazon. You know, just in case you were getting tired of your plain Xbox 360’s old look.

Because the GOW3 edition is definitely pretty, as long as your idea of “pretty” includes a bloody red-and-black graphic highlighted by a splotchy black skull.
