 I dread it when I pre-order something online and then another place has some exclusive content that nobody else does. Do you think they will do this with Mass Effect 3?

Yea it's annoying, especially since pre-ordering from amazon is a lot cheaper than from Gamestop.

You do know you can price-match, right? Just put down $10 or w/e the minimum is to guarantee you a copy, and then when the day comes pay the rest, and ask for it to be price-matched to a nearby store that also has it cheaper.

This is why I generally wait to pre-order.

That, and I never really saw "stock" as an issue. I pre-orded the ME2 CE from Best Buy 3 weeks before release.

I usually pre-order at Gamestop when I get a game right away.  Usually because they get a midnight release.  :o and I don't want to wait for the game I really want to arrive in the mail.  

I do hate store only content like Fable III had.  I liked the weapon from Best Buy vs the one at Gamestop.  I still got my copy at Gamestop.  

Suppose we will have to see.  I hope all the content is the same no matter where one buys it.

Fable III had very generic weapons and I think Gamestop also got a quest... how is this a huge issue ? I found it pretty generic. those weapons are not over-powered so you are not advantaged from your companion when online playing...

If that's the case, I guess I'm switching to Gamestop when it's announced.

Every consumer hates this because every consumer wants all the items, no one wants to know there are 5 more guns or pieces of armor that they don't have access to.

IMO, Rockstar has set a precedent for how to deal with retailer exclusive promotional content. Sell as much retailer exclusive content as you want, but ANNOUNCE to us consumers that you will be selling it as DLC in the future.

Rockstar has done this with Red Dead Redemption and LA Noire. They have proven they can use retailer exclusive promotions, make it profitable, and then still make those promotional items available as DLC at a later point.

The precedent has been set Bioware, I am hoping you can meet or exceed this precedent.

Here is a link that describes Rockstar's practices on retailer-exclusive content that I mentioned above.
