For reasons I have not yet figured out, the Gears of War 2 premium “Hope Runs Deep” theme is currently available at no charge via Xbox.com. Featuring panoramic images from their print ad campaign and limited edition art book, this theme costs 250
via the Gears of War 2 Theme Xbox.com main page and 250 via the Xbox Live Marketplace. On its individual Xbox.com page however you can download it for free simply by adding it to your download queue. I tried it just to confirm that it works and sure enough I had the theme patiently waiting for me when I signed into my account. I have no idea if it is temporary or not so if you are a fan of this particular tactical third-person shooter, you may want to jump on this opportunity while it’s available. Not quite as good of a deal, the Gears of War 2: “Bare Your Teeth” theme is obtainable via the same means for 150, which is an 100 discount from the main page and the Marketplace.
*A special thank you to Tortacular (who loves his fellow McBloggites and Gears of War more than he’ll ever admit!) for the heads up.

The GoW 2 Last day theme is also very nice.

I already downloaded the Hope Runs Deep and Bare your Teeth themes when they were first free ages ago. Then someone told me if i redownload them they upgrade to Premium themes which i did and it worked!! So i got 2 Premium Themes for free!

Wow thanks Hawty! And I downloaded a crappy Halo Wars normal theme a week ago for 100points… XD Thanks for the heads up, seriously! I don’t think Microsoft knows about that hahaha I love errors.

So I redownloaded them. Got the friends 3d objects, but that sphere of color is still there, only black now. I thought the sphere of color was supposed to go away?
