Super Notice: Got more retailers/websites that sell ME3? Post them on this thread!

Click here for Pre-order bonuses.

Well, here I go.

I'm not exactly a very organised poster like mah boiiis Phaedon or Javier when it comes to making those very lovely threads that are insta-noticed but as of the moment I thought I may as well fish around and be of some help in my time here. So! What price is Mass Effect 3 being sold and where... let us begin.

Just to make clear, SE=Standard Edition, CE=Collectors Edition (N7), DE=Digital Edition, DDE=Digital Deluxe Edition.

Note: 

- Prices may change and availability of CE may expire, so it's all subject to change.

- Some websites accept payment from Dollars, Euro, Pound Sterling etc so be sure to check those out too.

- As of the moment there are yet to be any 'pre-order bonuses' but once they appear, I shall add them to this list.

- Not all retailers will be selling the Collectors Edition!!!

- ALL LISTED WEBSITES/RETAILERS ARE TRUSTWORTHY. Yes yes laugh it up, 'trustworthy'. They are all money hungry businesses but they aren't those shady dodgy websites that scam you and take your money. I myself have used several of these websites as have some people I know. So yes, it's all legit.

- SOME RETAILERS ON WEBSITES DISPATCH INTERNATIONALLY. Some are apparent, others are not. I'll state the ones that do (which some people are unaware of) with the [INTERNATIONAL] tag.

- Cheapest Prices for each country have been highlighted white and with an asterisk (*) but this can change as well!

- Note: Though some websites may have cheaper prices, be sure to check out the delivery rates just incase!

- Please do check the delivery details of these online stores! Some websites may only dispatch locally and not internationally, I cannot stress that enough! Just do some checking for yourself as to whether they do dispatch to your country.

- All prices will be updated every 2 - 3 weeks. The closer the release date, the sooner the prices will be checked.

- If listings for some Collectors Edition vanish then you better hurry and look for some as they are going! Check your local retailer to see if they still accept orders or reservations IN STORE. Time is running out!

- As of (9th Feb) today there are many copies of the CE that have been completely removed or sold out from websites. Note that if you are unable to order your copy, head to your local retailer and see if they are still accepting cash payment deposits (in-store pre-orders, usually for GAME you go in there, pay £5 and then they will reserve you a copy).

- If you cannot do that, then order your CE from another country. Yes. You heard me. It will take longer for it to get in your hands but atleast you have a copy. But the pain of waiting up to a week. Darn. So why wait, pre-order now!

*Clears throat* nothing like vanishing into the depths of the darkness that is Social BioWare pages.

Already pre-ordered CE from Gamestop.

[Flashlegend]

Damn, Australia and most of Europe have it rough.

[Merchant2006]

I cancelled mine from GAME considering how I was a week late and decided to save myself around £10 by going over to gamestation. Owned by the same group but hey, I'm surprised the price is sti- *shuts mouth* better not jinx it. And yes, I feel really bad for those poor Australians but EU is getting hammered in terms of price.

I saw the good old Amazon.com price of around $70 and went to order it, only to find my shipping package would mean that the final price was the equivalent of £68. No thanks lol.

I was to lazy to dig a pre order site myself. Thx, Merchant.

[Icinix]

This is nice.


...although it does remind me how greedy our retailers are here in Australia. Seriously...nothing like the middle man making more off of a game than the creator of the game.

Nice thread, Merchant!

Back on a more related note, please do some searching as well, I'd be more than glad to ensure everyone here can get the best deal possible when purchasing Mass Effect 3. Yes yes, hard times and what not aside, why spend more cash when you can spend... less? Right? Right.

Yes well considering how 90% of my posts are just pure pointless stuff that doesn't relate to anything other than posting amusing images that amuse me only and maybe the odd forumite, this is a refreshing change.

Just looking at the list makes me slightly annoyed... it's like us in the EU/UK... ok maybe not as bad as AU... but we're all getting the 'short end of the stick' (close quotes), there's a huge price gap and even importing it from $ sites doesn't make it any cheaper... you'll end up saving £1 or something lol.

Wow, thanks Merchant! Nice thread.

[Merchant2006]

Well I've updated it with more EU websites. I'll dig around more another time, I need to catch some ZEE'S MAN *counts sheep*

[Gibb_Shepard]

Australian store "Game": http://www.game.com....h=mass effect 3

Still no way to order the collector's edition down here though.

[CroGamer002]

Only place I've seen the CE is on the Aussie version fo the Origin site for $99.99. Which.. brings me to a question that I am sure has been answered, the DDE comes with some physical items, right? So how does that work, will the game still be digitally available for download on release date (9/3/12 down here) and the physical items come seperately later or.. what?

I'm really really sorry to say this but the DDE edition of ME3 will come with the artbook, comic, soundtrack etc but... it's all in MP3 & Adobe PDF format. I'm not a BW dude when it comes to these things but when I bought my DDE version of ME2, it was as it stated. All digital. Everything. My issue #1 comic, artbook, soundtrack, everything digital.

Oh yes, your lovely artbook that you will cough up cash for is in a beautiful digial PDF file. You will get 0% physical items. So yeah, goodside = you get everything that physical copies do but badside, it's all in digital format. ALL of it. No touchy feely kissy artbook or comic or OST.


When I go to the origin website I'm forced to get the price only for UK. I tried to change it to AU but to no avail. Could someone also give me the pricing for the ME3 DE and DDE's for EA Origin for AU/EU/US?

• Display your initiation in the N7 ranks with a collection of forum and social badges, avatars, and perks.

social badges? perks? What do you think these are?

I have pre-ordered the Collector's Edition and i have no idea what these things are.

[Merchant2006]

The contents of the DDE are as follows:

• Digital commemorative artwork of Commander Shepard.
  
• 70-page Digital art book.
  
• Limited edition Mass Effect digital comic by Dark Horse Comics, complete with unique cover artwork.
  
• Exclusive Digital 4x6 lithographic featuring a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork.
  
• N7 Hoodie – For Commander Shepard’s casual days on board the Normandy (INGAME DIGITAL, not a hoodie YOU can wear yourself... which I mistakenly believed heh).
  
• Digital Soundtrack of ME3.
  
• Display your initiation in the N7 ranks with a collection of forum and social badges, avatars, and perks.***
  
• N7 Arsenal Pack (Sniper, SMG, Shotgun, Pistol).
  
• Squadmate Alternate Outfit Pack
  
• Robotic Dog (woof!)
  
• A full collection of ingame content that can't be found anywhere else.

***
Anyway to answer your question R3MUS, I'm guessing those forum and social badges are like... for your profile on the forums, your 360 Avatar, perhaps you get special custom avatars for your profile. Perks? Perhaps you get access to some VIP section in the forums or some exclusive stuff or some "hey I bought the CE edition" signature, who knows. I'm just guessing but just forum/social related stuff and things you get by ordering the CE.

I should add that in certain regions you are able to buy ME via Origin using dollars:
DE=60$, DDE=80$.

Unfortunately, this is not the case in my country, and I might be forced into buying using euros (which is about 35% more expensive for me...).

[Coreniro]

Hey, there are 2 italian stores that are selling either Mass Effect 3 and the CE edition, if you want to add them:

Gamestop.it
SE: Xbox - 69,98€ | PS3 - 69,98€ | PC 54,98€
CE: 89,98€ for all the versions, but I think they're gonna change the PC price. They should change the release date too.

Multiplayer.com
SE: Xbox - 64,90€ | PS3 - 64,90€ | PC - 49,90€
CE: Xbox - 89,90€ | PS3 - 89,90€ | PC - 69,90€

I believe the PC CE price is the cheapest in europe. Ah, Multiplayer.com is a trustworthy website, as you said. I usually buy games from that site and never had a problem.

Quoted and noted, I, like him, have lots of trust in Multiplayer.com since they're competent, have a very good customer support, the shipments are always perfect and come the day of release if not before and concerning the CE of ME3 well.. 20€ less than GameStop is not going to pass unnoticed
I think other retailers should pull off that money drain that they've put on PC players about the CE.

Also (unfortunately) I don't think they'll ship outside of Italy, or if they do I couldn't find where they say they do.
