Gears of War 3 midnight launch events happening almost everywhere

In a fitting send off for one of the biggest, most influential series of this console generation, Gears of War 3 is getting a huge midnight release next week, spanning a number of countries and locations. Some of the launches will include exclusive prizes, including a big scavenger hunt for gamers in the New York City area. New York City also gets the biggest release, a televised event in Times Square with a live performance from Big Sean and an exclusive tournament for even more Gears prizes.

If prizes were juice we could make a hackneyed “Look at all that juice!” reference here, but they aren’t so we won’t.
