    One is in LA. I have business up there anyways, I might poke around this week and see if I can find one.
    I wonder if a short 2-tone somber tune plays when I pick it up?

    So it's official. My sister and I are off to universal city walk in LA tomorrow to look for this.
    She has a keen eye, but I'm afraid she spent most of GoW co op confused and downed the entire time. Hopefully she paid attention to the atmosphere as it seems to help in finding this real life suckers.

    More are popping up, and there is still reasonable amount of time until release.
    London had a few I believe and so did Hungary. If anyone lives near a major city, I would keep an eye open.

    A free copy of GOW2 I think. THINK.
    A cog tag number to punch into the site to unlock more story for all the other people on the gearsforums to eat up.
    Mad internet street cred.

    So then I guess we'd have to resort to face punching after all to see who gets the game. 8-)

    I haven't touched GoW since I moved out of my friend's apartment. They had an RPTV that did HD, and wow was that fun. I am now stuck playing on my 32" Sony Trinitron. No HD. Can't do it. Some games I have no problem playing like that (RB2, Mass Effect (cuz I'm way too into the game to not play it), etc), but jesus do I need an HDTV. I can't wait to get home to see these screens, cuz they're all blocked here at work.

    Dammit, why can't I win a few grand on the lottery? All I need is enough for my precious Panasonic TH-50PZ800U! Even if it doesn't do 1080p over component, 720p would be good enough for me.

    Maybe I SHOULD play GoW again...

    What kind of car do you have? I have GPS in my 08 Avenger so we could type in the exact coordinates.

    Uh, well, reading through the entire thread (all 9 pages) SF isn't mentioned until the very last post where the guy says that the list is up to date.

    Am I missing something here?

    EDIT: In looking through the rest of that forum it looks like there's CURRENTLY a photo clue for the SF one at AT&T park, of which I know exactly where that entrance is. BUT TRAFFIC IS SO TRAFFICY.
