I purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition through Impulse last night and was given 3 codes. I registered all three and on the download page of the bioware social network, it only gave me access to the 5 cerberus dlc and the preorder armour dlc. Ingame the cerberus network shows up as connected. I am basically missing the collectors amour, assault rifle, and Incisor Rifle. I contacted EA support via chat on how to get this resolved and the guy really did not want to help it seems and from what he was telling me did not exist. Here is the chat if someone is able to make sense of what he is meaning:

Hi, my name is Gary. How may I help you? [08:36:09 AM]
Thomas Arthur:
Hi Gary. I purchased Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition last night
and just got done registering all 3 codes that I was given. I seem to
have got all the content on the social bioware page except the specific 3
digital deluxe ingame items. [08:37:23 AM]
Thomas Arthur: Collector
Armor and Assault Rifle and Incisor Rifle for the names of the items
that have not shown up [08:38:02 AM]
Gary: May I have your email address please [08:29:06 AM]
Thomas Arthur: (gave email) [08:38:20 AM]
Thomas Arthur: I also have the 3 key
codes if you need them also [08:41:00 AM]
Gary: Yes please give me the code [08:34:04 AM]
Thomas Arthur: Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition : -edit- [08:43:59 AM]
Thomas Arthur: Mass Effect 2: Cerberus Network Activation: -edit- [08:44:33 AM]
Thomas Arthur: Mass Effect 2: Collector's Edition Bonus Items: -edit- [08:44:51 AM]
Thomas
Arthur: on the bioware social network registered game promotion page i
have downloads for Zaeed - The Price of Revenge (Cerberus Network),
Cerberus Weapon and Armor (Cerberus Network), Normandy Crash Site
(Cerberus Network), Cerberus Arc Projector (Cerberus Network),
Firewalker Pack (Cerberus Network), and Inferno Armor [08:47:08 AM]
Gary: Go to cerbus network area and see
whether you are able to access them or not [08:40:15 AM]
Gary: I have checked and found that both of the codes are registered under your account (my email) [08:41:07 AM]
Thomas Arthur: cerbus network in-game or a certain page you want me to go to (sorry new to game) [08:50:52 AM]
Gary: Yes in game. [08:48:39 AM]
Thomas Arthur: ingame the cerberus network shows its up and connected yes. [08:58:54 AM]
Thomas
Arthur: If you mean the cerberus laptop on the right of the main menu
yah thats up. That actually was working before, but I dont see any
redemtion or download buttons ingame. Just the bioware page where it
shows all the promotion items you have accessed for and lets you
download them there. Seems like it
shows I have access to everything except for the specific digital deluxe
items. [09:01:28 AM]
Thomas Arthur: so I guess the problem is that
the downloads for those specific digital deluxe ingame items are not
showing up [09:03:11 AM]
Gary: Do you have any more questions to ask? Anything else you wish to know? [08:55:20 AM]
Thomas
Arthur: I just asked a question and original problem was not
resolved... let me help clarify this for you Gary. The cerberus network
code is included with both standard and collector's edition of mass
effect 2. That is working and thats not the problem. The problem is the
specific digital deluxe items (collector's armor, assault riffle, and
Incisor Rifle) are not showing up still. Those are the items you get
with the digital deluxe edition.
[09:07:06 AM]
Gary: okay [08:58:40 AM]
Gary: Are you able to access Cerberus Network Area in the game? [08:59:25 AM]
Thomas
Arthur: the cerberus network area is the laptop that opens up on the
right of the main screen right? yah it shows up, but dont see any other
buttons to access it, its just an information screen that tells you that
you are connected to the network along with descriptions of the other
dlc you can buy. [09:10:11 AM]
Gary: Talking about Opened game main MENU. right? [09:02:43 AM]
Gary: Click on that [09:03:20 AM]
Gary: Click on Cerberus Network -opened game page. [09:03:52 AM]
Thomas
Arthur: ok wait, i think I might know what ur saying now. are u meaning
ingame as in not the menu when u start the game (new game, exit game,
etc) but
the actual ingame menu when you are actually playing (controlling
commander shepard) [09:14:11 AM]
Gary: yes [09:05:46 AM]
Thomas Arthur: ok sorry about that. Doing that now [09:15:13 AM]
Gary: Do you have any more questions to ask? [09:06:56 AM]
Thomas
Arthur: nope that will be it. so im guessing once i get into the ingame
cerb network, it should let me download the items from there? (right
now it seems like im stuck in the intro movie ugh) [09:17:13 AM]
Gary: Yes sure [09:09:09 AM]
Gary: Anything else you wish to know? [09:09:22 AM]
Thomas Arthur: nope that will be it. Thanks Gary [09:18:57 AM]
Gary:
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to assist you regarding your
issue. You will be receiving a Survey shortly in your email. I will
appreciate if you can take out some time and mention if I was of any
help to you. [09:10:07 AM]
Thomas Arthur: will do thanks [09:19:34 AM]
'Thomas Arthur' disconnected ('Concluded by End-user'). [09:19:35 AM]

Since he was basically at the end just blew me off and said basically "it will work, bye!" i went into both the main menu and actual ingame and there was no access to the cerberus network other than the main menu showing a laptop saying im connected to the network. So basically I am back at square 1 again. Any help would be appretiated of what to do next!

Thanks!

Download the setup packs via file sharing, saves you any more hassles.

Any other advice other than (im assuming) pirating?

It's strange that you got the Inferno Armor but not the DDE stuff. When I pre-ordered my DDE through Impulse, they gave me one code that granted all of them. (Like you, 3 codes in all: one for the game, one for the Cerberus Network, one for pre-order/DDE equipment.)



Are you sure Impulse sold you a DDE? You should have a Bonus Content folder and it should say "Digital Deluxe Edition" in the Impulse Games menu. That might be the mix-up. Or if you do have a DDE, it sounds like maybe Impulse gave you a non-DDE code.

Sorry, I really don't have another advice and no patients to investigate further into buggy DRM systems. Were you one of those kids that used Lego only to build the things displayed on the box? ;-)

This is what Impulse gave me if this helps. Sounds like its similar to what you got:

Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition : -edit-

Mass Effect 2: Cerberus Network Activation: -edit-

Mass Effect 2: Collector's Edition Bonus Items: -edit-

I got all the digital bonuses (aka bonus folder) which is the art book, soundtrack and all that. Seems like the only thing that is missing is the darn ingame items ugh. On the download page for my registered codes, it gives me the 5 cerberus downloads and the preorder bonus armor (im guessing impulse just gives them out still). But the collector's armor/assault rifle and the other rifle remains to be missing on the download page.

Is there somewhere ingame where you can access the downloads (and also choose to download whatever)? If there is maybe it will show up there. I see where you can click on the links to buy the future release dlc, but did not find anything about my DDE items there.

Nope, Profile -> Your registered promotions on this site is the place to go for ME2 DLC. If they're not there, you don't have them.

This sounds like a bad code (i.e. a non-DDE code). I'd contact Impulse and tell them you seem to have been given a code for just the Inferno armor when you were supposed to get one of the DDE edition codes.

Thanks for the help. I'll contact Impulse and see what they say. Impulse is usually more customer friendly so I'm sure they will take care of me. What you said about giving the wrong code type does make the most sense. Maybe EA should hire haha ;)

Thanks again

In game, I only was ever prompted for my cerberus code, but I downloaded almost all the DLC's. Most came with the cerberus network. I don't think I was ever prompted for my activation code, or got the items.

I have steam Digital Deluxe, andy ideas?

On the left menu, click on "My Games -> Register Games", and register your copy of ME2.
The click on "Profile -> Registered Game Promotions" and any DLC you are entitled to will appear there.
