We are working with retailers, including Gamestop, to establish what, if any, retailer exclusives they will have. We hope to have this information for you early next year. When we do, we will let everyone know.

Will you have a bonus for Origin preorders?

I recall that many retailers got the Inferno armor bonus. I don't care if Gamestop's is cooler (and I can probably get one anyway), but I'd hate to miss out on a bonus because I preordered to get a birthday discount from EA.

I hope you are happy, the pre-order exclusive madness begins. I managed to get everything with ME2, I hope I can do it again (or the completionist in me will explode).

Best Buy - Argus Rifle
GameStop - Valkaryie Rifle & Defender Armor

The way Best Buy is handling codes is a bit worrying. I was able to get all the bonuses for ME2 as well thanks to eBay, but I don't recall if any of the retailers used that same method.

Firestorm? you mean Inferno Armor right? Or is there a firestorm armor that I am not aware of?

I meant Inferno. I've been having some real problems with my brain supplying the wrong words to my fingers lately.

Corrected my post. Thanks.

It's the way Gamestop <sigh> has handled the last few of their pre-orders; give the code on the receipt.  Best Buy used to give pre-order packaging, I know.  I think the first pre-order I remember the code being on the receipt for from Best Buy was Fallout: New Vegas.  I've already grumbled about the screwyness - not a word, I know - of vendor exclusive content.  here's hoping the Best Buy rifle becomes available as a part of a weapons pack.  I too pre-ordered at Gamestop; I held my nose as I did it but I did so before the announcement of the pre-order perks.

This is asinine, Those of us who chose to give Origin a chance and pre-order from there are being actively punished for not ordering at the "correct" store. Screw this.

[CARL_DF90]

Me personally? I don't see the big deal. You get extra goodies for pre-ordering. Always a good thing. If not the odds are good they will be made available later down the road as paid DLC. If you pre-order it you get it free. So, where's the trouble?

Yummy. Not only do I get to have a ****in's set of weapons to get started with, but now that ****in weapon set gets finished off with a ****in looking rifle and a ****in set of armor.

Not exactly excited that I will have to buy a rifle later, but taking ME2 into account, at least I can assume my bonuses wont be for sale later.

The DLC for ME2 still hasn't been released for sale which is where my major problem with this comes in.  I would be 100% fine if after a few months they released it for sale, but they don't. so we have to go to err lets say "other"  means to get it.

I wish that were the case. With ME2 it never was; we still haven't gotten the Terminus Armor and Blackstorm gun.

I have the Terminus armor and Blackstorm gun and have had them since ME2 was released for 360.

I will also have the BB and GS items this time, as well, since I ordered 2 copies (1 for my fiance, 1 for me).

Unfair? If you buy CE you pay nearly 50% more! Its not unfair if those are CE-exclusives, and they should be superior to this retailer-specific-bs of course!

I do agree with this.
This also leads me to LittleBigPlanet 2 CE. The bonus with that is you got every pre-order outfit, plus a few avatars. This is soemthing I like to have in future games. ALL pre-order items, plus a litte bit extra.

Haha, so armor that's been seen for months is now pre-order? And two weapons? They better be available later.

[Mr. Gogeta34]

Any word on if they'll do a "buy the game new, get bonus char/dlc" like they did with Zaeed/Cerberus Network?

Not sure.  I'm sure the buy new incentive is the multiplayer so that you don't have to go out and buy, what, online passes?

There is mention of it on the CE version. I'm guessing that it wont be CE limited, but instead will be "buy new" limited instead.

If you buy the game new, you'll unlock the "beat the Reapers" ending. 

[HappyHappyJoyJoy]

Also, it will be another $20 if you want to be able to romance Tali.

EA/Bioware should hire me, I know how to turn a profit.

[Chris Priestly]

It looks like some retailers are announcing items earlier than I thought they were going to.

We will have information, INCLUDING a list of all retailers offering DLC items, soon. I hope some time this week (but I can't promise that). Please do not start blaming X retailer for carryng or not carrying DLC items until you see the list of what is provided by whom.

I was going to say "I hope every retailer gets the same bonus," but it looks like that's already not happening. I just hope they make all the preorder dlc available for purchase at some point. I always thought it was sort of unfair that all the preorder dlc for ME2 was made available except for the gamestop preorder stuff (Terminus armor and Blackstorm gun I believe).
