So is it confirmed that if I pre-order the xbox360 version of this on Origin, I will receive the N7 Warfare Pack, Argus, and AT12 Shotgun.

In other words does Origin PreOrdering assure all bonuses or just the shotgun?

From what I can tell just the shotgun and argus

Question. Are any UK retailers doing the N7 Warfare Gear for pre orders? I remember the UK (and I also think the rest of the world) getting shafted with ME2 and never getting the Terminus Armour.

To clarify we don't have Gamestop over here. Our 2 primary game retailers are GAME and Gamestation.

Supposedly GAME UK is confirmed but they themselves haven't released any info - I'm in the process of getting in contact with GAME to find out. I'll post anything I receive from them here.

While your planned boycott is cute and all, it kinda rings hollow considering a decent number of games that are out do this exact thing (some even worse like Assassin's Creed) and the number is only increasing; rapidly. Oh and its more a publisher choice than a developer studio choice, so direct your outrage appropriately...

Planned boycott? I think not. I've invested a lot of $$ into Bioware products over the last 10 years, which includes the ME3 CE pre-order that I've already been charged for. I am not going to give them any more $$ for something I should be getting already.

Way dont you just cancel your pre-order with Origin and pre-order at gamestop.com or at = Amazon - Germany.
EB Games - Canada.
GameStop - Denmark, Finland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, United States.
GAME - Australia, France, United Kingdom.
(X)Zone - Czech Republic.

Would be nice if I could. But as I already noted, Origin billed and processed my order 2 days after I placed it, even though their policy is to not actually process the charge until the product ships. I'm also in the US, so ordering from outside of the country is a little iffy. There are other issues, but I won't go into them here.

To be honest I get annoyed with all the different Pre-Order Bonuses. I think that it gets annoying for the Customers who now have to decide where they're going to buy the game depending on what they'll get as a pre-order. I my opinion they should all be included in one big pre-order package. Furthermore, I feel it's also not fair to other stores selling this game that don't have as great of pre-order bonuses unlike Gamestop.

The N7 wargear I think should have been included in the Collector's Edition since it so clearly belongs with it.

What's really annoying is that they do all this stupid exclusive crap 6-8 months after a large portion of the customer base places their pre-order.

I wonder which items I'll receive. (Netherlands)

I'm not asking for a confirmation (though it would be nice) but the problem is that the online stores here only state that you get exclusive in-game items. 

OMGNOWAI! That is SO specific!!

Well, I guess I'll find out eventually.

Edit: Scratch that, I'm actually worried. I ordered it from a store that is quite dependable, but their description of the ME3 CE is un-informative. You know how online retailers are when it comes to DLC, it's very hard to get a refund or get the DLC 'you wanted'. It's the CE so I'm sure some form of DLC will be included, but there are alarm bells going off.

If I were to translate their description it would be like this, do NOT read the following if you want to avoid potential spoilers, though it's not exactly uncommon knowledge around here.

******************************************************************************************
Mass Effect 3




The galactic war has started. The Reapers, an ancient alien race, have begun a total invasion of the galaxy and are leaving a trail of destruction in their path... The planet Earth has been conquered, and the galaxy is on the brink of destruction and you must lead the counter-offensive. If you fail, Humanity will be extinct.

Become Commander Shepard and take definitve and important decisions. Work together with several powers and choose which planets to save from destruction, and which alliances to enter.
******************************************************************************************
And that's it. Nothing more. No features, no in-depth information, nothing.
So yeah, quite worried now that I think about it...

Maar Nederlands is een moiee taal!

[Thalador]

It would be about time now if they told us the full list of retailers. I'm planning to buy the N7 Edition from one of my local (Hungarian) retailers, but for as long as I don't know which one participates in this pre-order stuff I don't really want to pre-order. Unfortunately, while I'm wating for this news, the stores here might be running out of it any time now...

I'd like to ask: is there a way to pre-order from a retailer now without paying, so if it turns out that they are not part of this pre-order bonus thing I can simply cancel my order and won't lose any money?

So I actually braved the harsh lands of dial-up today to switch my pre-order from GameStop to Amazon because Amazon was cheaper (I paid extra money for a shipping warantee).

Good thing I logged on here first, eh?

...there is another way to preorder?



Yes, clarification on non-US retailers would be much appreciated.


Edit: geez, Cheez!

I remember back when I had to deal with dial-up. That was a scary time.

Oh god.  It's a nightmare.  But hey, two more weeks and I get real internets back.  Which I probably won't be using as much since I decided to dump an extra-heavy semester on myself.

So that heavy armor or whatever looks like the same stuff Jimmy is wearing.  I'm sure that's already been pointed out, but just sayin'.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link you straight to it. I prefer English too, by the way.

Thanks for replying, guys.

Again, no one is questioning your past dedication to Bioware. The point is, virtually every AAA game is doing this now. Gamestop is their biggest frenemy. Making huge profits off used games but at the same time getting the best pre-order exclusives. I'll give you a challenge; I bet by the end of the year, you will be able to count at least 80% of the big AAA games have had retailer exclusive content. The ship you're trying to get on has long sailed...and for the last time, this is a publisher decision (as in EA), not a Bioware choice! 

Now that being said, if you want all the retailer exclusive stuff, I can tell you of a quick, straightforward, legal way where you won't have to spend an extra cent. PM me if you want to know

[flexxdk]

 @ Th3UniQu3

Ah, so you went with wehkamp? I don't know if they'll get the pre-order bonuses. In fact, I never knew you could pre-order ME3 CE from them!

You can always wait until there's more info released on this. If, say, bol.com gets these bonuses, you can always switch to them.

[DRUNK_CANADIAN]

How do I get the preorder bonus from EB, do they give me the preorder card when I pick up the game?

Yeah, I will. What I'm afraid of is that they won't update it.

I mean, a pre-order is just that. A pre-order. Once I have it I can't say:  OMGNOWAI! I want this and that! 
I can pretty much picture the reply:  Oh yeah, that sucks. Sure you can send it back but we can't get you the DLC. SORRY! 

And then it'll be far too late to go to another store, obviously.

[Fogg]

I think it should be possible to get all the extra stuff for everyone. No difference between platform, retail, digital, etc, etc.

i agree but just count yourself lucky that it is not something bigger like a mission or something like that

From when I preordered ME2 at EB, I walked in (already paid in full), told them I was here for my preorder (name, phone number, and my last receipt), they gave me the game, plus a small sheet with the Terminus code on it and how to add it into the game. I think the Collector Armor came in the case box.

To answer your question: Yes.
