I'm still quite pissed about this game coming out and taking away my gears 3 playing partner. Yeah we'll still play gears 3 a lot, but there's going to be times when he wants to play this and I'll have to annoyingly join him or not play Xbox.
If I can convince him not to buy this, something that seems unlikely unfortunately, I don't need to get this game seeing as though he's the only person I know in my friends list, apart from SWF people, that's actually getting this game.
Edit:
Actually I came to my senses and realised that he'll be the only one playing this game whereas other people aren't getting this and I will be able to play Gears with them, so I went and cancelled my pre-order for this game today.
