Blockbuster Videos is currently running a promotion where if you purchase Gears of War 3 for the Xbox 360 from one of their brick and mortar locations, you’ll receive a month’s worth of free video game rentals and movie rentals. It’s hard to argue with a promo like that.

Randall Baker, Blockbuster’s Senior Buyer of Video Games commented about the promotion from the struggling business, saying…

“We want to get back on gamers’ radars with a promo that packs a punch,” ... “Gears of War 3 is certainly one of the biggest games of the year, but players may want to take a breather from fighting alongside Delta Squad every now and then. We’re giving them nearly unlimited entertainment options for those spare minutes.”

Gears of War 3 is currently available, exclusively for the Xbox 360. If gamers decide to go and pick up a copy from Blockbuster they’re entitled to make use of the company’s month-long rental promotion at no extra charge.

Of course, additional information on the promotion -- and I’m sure there are a few rules and regulations attached -- can be acquired by talking to a local rep at any participating Blockbuster stores.

Gamers a little unsure on whether or not Gears of War 3 is worth a day-one purchase can get a little persuasion on their decision-making-process by checking out Gaming Blend’s Review for Gears of War 3.
