Seeing as I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition from Gamestop, I've got the best of both worlds!

Wait until they announce all the retailers before declaring that only Americans get them. Gamestop and Best Buy just jumped the gun and threw these up early (likely hoping to get a jump on the competition).

I hope Bioware releases all this 'extra' content as separate dlc a few months after Mass Effect 3 has been out.

Corrected

Yes, because that would totally support the business model of pre-order incentives. 

Likely that if preorder items would be available, it will happen some time (month? months?) after release, as paid DLC and customers won't be warned about this event until the very end. It will drow people to make preorders (at release date it's exclusive with only hope on "available later"), people who preordered don't feel cheated (at least for some time they enjoy having exclusive stuff; not many care about game months after release), publisher makes money at future DLC and is happy; persistent fans finally got what they wanted and happy as well. Win-win.

Months later is ok.  I really wish the DLC is cheaper though.  Individual armor and weapons shouldn't cost so much.

Why do I hear Starship Trooper propaganda in my mind when I read this?

Anyways, I hope they enjoyed their time off and don't have too much trouble getting back into the groove of things.  Hopefully the bugs come and go easily enough.

One month till it goes Gold, I believe.

^ For those who dont know exactly what "going gold" means in the gaming business:

internetgames.about.com/od/glossary/g/gogold.htm

"When a game is said to have "gone gold," it means that the code has been finalized and is ready to be duplicated for distribution. The term goes back to the days when recordable CDs were manufactured using gold film, leading the source CD to be called the "golden master." Unlike the music industry, it is not a reference to the number of copies sold. It will typically take several weeks for a game to ship to stores and become available to consumers after it has gone gold."

Looking at past releases for Mass Effect, there was pretty much one month between Gold status and the release:

ME1 Xbox 360
Gold: Oktober 27th, 2007
Release US: November 20th, 2007

ME2 Xbox 360
Gold: December 23rd, 2009
Release US: January 26th, 2010

Meaning that with a March 6th releasedate for ME3, Bioware has one month left to finalize the game

Ah yes, "going gold". The joyous process of finally finishing a game and shipping the code out to distributors. Bugs have dismissed that claim.

"Do you still have new bugs coming up every day? Or the team killed most of them by now?"

"It's a massive game, so yeah, we're still finding a few. But, we've past the tipping point and are fixing faster than we're finding."

That should end all the debates on ME3's placement on the timeline.

Now I shall return to the rest of the forum where things are degenerating quite epically.

[JeffZero]

Aha, '86 it is. Good, I felt '87 was a bit too far down the line.

God, I am so glad everyone is back. I was getting bored.

Can't be a new year without Weekes teasing us.
