Hard copy, unless Origin is required for install.

Then I wont be buying it.

Disk im a sucker for metal case and a whole heap of stuff

[lltoon]

Hard copy.

If the hard copy says that Origin installation is mandatory, then I'm pirating the game. I buy games to support the developers. I should not have to deal with the game being dependent on a client to run.

It's ironic that Bioware was the first developer to stop me from pirating games. Ever since Dragon Age: Origins I had stopped getting pirated games and putting my money down for originals because I believed in supporting genuine, honest games developers that cared about making good games.

Now I find that Bioware/EA are forcing me back into piracy because they are adding too many limitations on my games. Too many hoops to jump through just to simply play a game.
Every game I played I had to give up more of my rights for privacy and have intrusive programs scan everything, I had to give up more money due to the games having chunks cut out and used for DLC in a cheap attempt to jack up the game price, I had to give up time waiting for PC versions of the game to come out because they want to appeal to the casual console community, I had to give up hope of getting certain content because it's only available to USA residents only.

I'm sorry Bioware, but I've given you all the rope I have. If ME3 mistreats me as a consumer, I'll be making sure you don't get my money.

This thing that omfg they forced me to piracy is just crap its just an excuse for you to steal ......... i don't see anywhere that DLC is mandetory its become like this because Fully fledged expansion packs are done and dusted and as for the exclusive promitional content there is always ways of fooling that im in Australia and i managed to get all the funny visors and stuff ( theres always little tricks here and there ) 

So since origins yeah.... how many games have you actually baught

[United_Strafes]

Still up in the air since I want the physical stuff in the CE, but when it comes down to it I'll prob just DL it.

[FluffyScarf]

You know it's probably a lot quicker to drive to a store, pick up a copy, grab food, drive back and install it from the DVD than download 15 gigs. Unless you're on one heck of a plan.

Pre-ordered at EB for the CE as soon as it became available. This is quite a ways back now.

[Renegade133]

i just pre ordered this morning i had to buy another copy of me2 :\\ so i thought may as well

[JamieCOTC]

Hard copy of CE from Gamestop.

Will ME3 require an internet connection for each launching of the SP game, or will it retain ME2′s single verification method?

Mass Effect 3 PC will require the internet connection when you
initially launch and authorize it but then you will no longer require
the connection.

Honestly, I'm not defending him, but when he has three games registered (I really hate bringing up the registered part of it, but it works in this case) to your one...I don't really think you can ask that last question.  He's represented how he stopped.  And on top of that, he has three separate purchases from recent products Bioware has offered.  

That out of the way, you have to understand where he's coming from.  Brushing this off as "it's just an excuse" is rubbish because the companies you are paying for a product are making it hard for you, a legit customer, to use said product.  Situations like this make people look at others who don't pay and also don't have to deal with the nonsense paying customers do.  That makes it extremely attractive, but the shareholders who force companies to adopt drm schemes cannot get that through their thick heads.  The level of security on most game disks is rubbish and there's a website that lists games protected by Starforce so that people can avoid buying those games.

Companies spend money putting security checks on stuff that probably cuts into their bottom line.  But those companies can't say a thing about it because they're not entirely their own entity.  I gurantee you there are people that work for Bioware that understand where people are coming from with regard to DRM, but say nothing because it'll cut into their pay or them holding their job.  So we continue having this crap forced on us when it causes everyone a headache except the people that don't pay for it.  Piracy isn't going away.  It came about when there weren't stringent copy protections and DRM, but making paying customers jump through hoops to get what they want isn't going to help.  And let's be honest, the copy protections and DRM do more to make a customer feel as if they're looked at as criminal when they pay.  They won't get that feeling going the other route.  They either become tech savvy so they can either fix the protections so they have no problems or find easier, and less detectable ways of getting the stuff they want for the price of their internet connection.  I think the latter's more likely.

I honestly believe the sooner everyone understands that this stuff gets in the way, the sooner they'll make more money instead of spending more for a result that stands very little chance of developing.

Er... hard copy from online shop?

Interesting, while it's new information it still doesn't answer the question whether Origin will be required for the retail version of the game or not?

I've pre-ordered a hard copy of the collectors edition, but I suspect that I'll have to install Origin to play it in which case I'll cancel and just not play. I'm not installing spyware on my PC for any game.

This pretty much sums up the way I feel.  PS3 all the way for me now - unfortunately.

[FluffyScarf]

I hope more games use Origin. Just to see the hilarious over reactions. Reminds me of the 'BF3 pre-order cancelled' meme.

[Lord of Mu]

I'll be getting a physical copy from my local EB.

[LilyasAvalon]

Already have my hard copy preordered. Cracks will be coming out within a week of ME3's release anyway, that's if Origin hasn't been completely obliterated by then.

[FluffyScarf]

You can play BF3 SP without Origin. ME 3 SP will likely follow.

[BounceDK]

Physical copy = Cheaper. So guess what I'm getting..

Online, but I'll be buying a disc copy, because things are always cheaper on amazon compared to how they are in GAME or Gamestop.

This is normally what I do, but as far as I'm aware the Collector's Ed is only available in the UK from GAME. I used their online service to pre-order it though, just like I did with ME2 CE, so effectively I'm still buying a physical copy online.

But yeah, high street shops are simply pricing themselves out at the moment. I ordered £70 worth of Blu Rays the other day from Amazon.co.uk - 11 films - and according to HMv's pricing, it would have been around the £160 mark. They're simply not competitive any more.

Better. Those guys from Razor made a crack that works with legal copies of BF3 to allow you to play singleplayer AND multiplayer without origin. Those guys are total heroes if they can do the same with ME3 should it require Origin.

[ErichHartmann]

I pre-ordered the N7 edition (hard copy) when it was first listed on Amazon. I've shifted more to digital copies but I had no desire to with ME3.

Neither.

Good. Means you can suck up to Beth and grab an equally dumbed down game in Skyrim.
