Hello everyone! It's going to be a Happy New Year! Mass Effect 3 will have a pre-release demo in January 2012. This demo will have both single player and multiplayer sections, giving fans a taste of what's to come on March 6, 2012. Be first to the front lines in the multiplayer section of the Mass Effect 3 demo! Redemption of the Online Pass for Battlefield 3 will unlock this early access. But rallying for war is just getting started - in late November / early December, BioWare will announce other ways for fans to engage the enemy with their friends online from day one! 

 
What are the details of the Mass Effect 3 pre-release demo?

•The Mass Effect 3 pre-release demo will launch in January 2012 (exact date TBA).
•The demo will include both single-player and multi-player sections.
•The demo will be released in all regions where the game is

How can I get early access to the multi-player portion of the Mass Effect 3 demo coming in January 2012?

•Owners of Battlefield 3, on any platform, who activate their Online Pass will automatically be granted early access to the multiplayer portion of the Mass Effect 3 demo. There is no need to enter any other codes, the early access will be applied to the EA Account associated with the Online Pass. Note: BF3 Origin Customers automatically have the BF3 Online Pass. 
•This applies to all regions where the demo is released (to be announced)
•The exact date of the demo launch will be announced in late November
•There will be another program whereby players and fans of the Mass Effect franchise can unlock this early access (with no purchase necessary) – this will also be announced in late November or early December.
•There will also be a tool posted on www.masseffect.com allowing players to check if their EA account has been granted the early access.
•The length of the early access period is TBA.
•The single-player section of the demo will be available to all players on day one of the demo launch.

Here's additional clarification from Mass Effect product manager Jarrett Lee.

I should go.

I pre-purchased the ME3 N7 edition four months ago, I think that that should qualify me for the early, early Demo, AkA the Beta test.:innocent:

Funny how that's not a way, but the ME twitter account said more ways to get early access are TBA so it may be a way after all.

Yes. If I preordered the CE of ME3, or even the standard edition, we should get early access.

I guess I'll have to wait patiently until January, then. (or watch it on youtube, or be a really naughty pirate)

*Sigh* How disappointing BioWare....

This is BS, can owners of ME3 digital deluxe edition get this bonus too?

Many registered Bioware games here and on the old forum. Mass Effect 1 and 2 bought for both the 360 and PC. Yet the first way they announce to get the demo is to buy a shooter?

Lol, it will probably involve the Star Wars MMO.  I do have that pre-ordered....

Edit: Ah, no purchase necessary...  Hmmm..

So EA is doing its magic, eh? Dark, money-making magic of course. Nice way to sell BF3 copies EA, makes me reconsider if I should buy it, along with a Gold membership.

If I don't get purchase-free access after putting nearly 1,000 hours into ME2 and pre-ordering the CE, words will be had. No way in hell am I buying BF3 for it.
