Earlier today, Calibur11 announced that they were partnering with Epic Games to release an exclusive Gears of War 3 Vault that will be released in September when the game itself ships. The Gears of War 3 Vault is a high-end, interactive case for the Xbox 360 Slim that will feature a high-definition "Bleed-Out" finish, controller cradel, and an LED Crimson Omen that will glow red whenever a player is downed by an opponent.
On top of that, to celebrate the launch of the Gears of War 3 Vault, there's a chance inside each box to win an authentic, life-size Gears of War COG armor suit replica with the Calibur11 logo. The vault will run you about $90 with customized nameplates costing about $18. That's not bad really, especially if you're a big Gears of War fan.

“We are huge fans of the ‘Gears of War’ franchise and really wanted to raise the bar with our exclusive

Epic Games Vice President Jay Wilbur added, “The quality of the
Gears of War Vault 3 is phenomenal, and Calibur11 has done a great job of capturing the spirit of the franchise and enhancing the overall experience.”
“
Gears of War 3” is the spectacular conclusion to one of the most memorable and celebrated sagas in video games. Developed by Epic Games exclusively for Xbox 360, “Gears of War 3” plunges players into a harrowing tale of hope, survival and brotherhood.
In the game, players fight on as Marcus Fenix, the grizzled war hero and leader of Delta Squad. 18 months after the fall of the last human city in “Gears of War 2,” the war against the Locust rages on, but a new enemy has emerged. Deep beneath the surface, a fearsome new threat, the Lambent, is infecting the planet from within. With survivors scattered and civilization in ruins, time is running out for Marcus and his comrades as they take up their Lancers to make one last push that will ultimately decide the fate of humanity.
The “Gears of War” series is one of the most popular franchises in Xbox history, having sold more than 13 million games worldwide, and spawning New York Times best-selling novels, an upcoming film and more.
