Gears of War NOT coming to a PS3 near you

Last week an interesting story popped up on a PS3 message board saying that Epic, and Cliff Bleszinski, were not happy with Microsoft and were threatening to move Gears to the PS3. This is not true, just check out what Mark Rein posted on the Gears forums about the story....

"This story is complete bull****. I emailed the site and asked them to take it down. We're very happy with our relationship with Microsoft. If it weren't for them Gears wouldn't be the huge hit it has become."

Rein went as far as posting on the PS3 forum saying:
"Please remove that complete b******* story about Gears going to PS3. Cliff Bleszinski has NEVER been quoted as "threatening Microsoft to port over Gears to the PS3". We're very happy with our relationship with Microsoft and are extremely grateful of everything they've done to help make Gears the huge success it has become. Part of that success came from being an Xbox 360 exclusive FIRST PARTY title and Microsoft getting behind it in a huge way. They're the publisher of Gears of War and, unless they say otherwise, there is no chance Gears is coming to PS3. For PS3 we have Unreal Tournament 3 and it's going to be fantastic."
