Thanks to the backwards compatibility that Microsoft announced for Xbox One at E3 they can now offer a pretty sweet bonus for those who purchase Gears of War: Ultimate Edition this year. Anyone who buys Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Xbox One gets Gears of War 1-3 plus Judgment via the Xbox 360 backwards compatibility feature on the console.
"All Gears of War titles will be supported on Backward Compatibility when it launches publicly this fall. This means if you own Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3 or Gears of War: Judgment on Xbox 360, you'll be able to play them on your Xbox One and utilize some of your favorite next-gen features like Game DVR, Snap, screenshots and more. You can even keep all your previously-saved files, game add-ons, achievements and play with friends on Xbox Live no matter which Xbox console they're on. For those of you in the Xbox One preview program who just can't wait, the original Gears of War is available today in Backward Compatibility."
