I miss the good old days when you had to beat a game on 'Insanity' or complete specific taks against impossible odds just to unlock an epic bonus character or bonus costume. Those little in-game rewards were so much more satisfying than a simple achievement.

I'm a completionist. I am willing to go that extra mile (beating a game on Insanity or something against impossible odds) just so I can unlock every single weapon, costume and character. I love it when I finally complete the game 100% and have everything 100% unlocked.


I'm not against selling extra content through DLC. The more the merrier. If extra DLC can extent the replay value of a game than why not? BioWare, feel free to sell us as many costumes, guns and bonus characters as you see fit!


However, these pre-order exclusive items are a bit ridiculous. Not that I'm against pre-order exclusive items that are simply exclusive to pre-orders. I'm against the monopoly that stores get on specific pre-order items. I'm against the fact that if I pre-order that 'store X', I get 'item X', but if I pre-order at 'store Y', I get 'item Y'. But no way in hell can I get both 'item X' and 'item Y'. It frustrates me that I can't get ALL the items in ME3 because some of those items are exclusive to specific stores.

And no, I REFUSE to buy ME3 multiple times to get all the content, screw that! I don't even have to money for that!


The completionist in me is totally angry at these kind of deals!  <_< I want ALL those guns goddamnit! It makes me sad that it will never happen. I'll never be able to get ALL the guns in Mass Effect 3. :crying:

For aussie gamers you don't need to pre-order with EB Games in order to recieve the N7 warfare gear. You can pre-order from GAME and get them too. Link below.

Oh, Russian retailers gave something. "Preorder bonuses will be announced later". Well, at least that's step in right direction ;-P

Add me to the list of dumb people who missed out on the Collector's edition pre-order window. I was waiting to see who gave what in terms of pre-order incentives, got confused with (and Christmas stuff too) the details because different places give different stuff but it wasn't all released before the window closed.
I am sad.

What there are still plenty of CE of the game...and I'm sure there will be right up to and maybe even after launch.

Also lol @ EA trying to get people to use Origin by adding preorder shotgun.

According to Chris yes, but according to the EB Oz website ?, im trying to find out from my local store manager (EB NZ) to find out if we are getting the N7 Warfare Gear (because its the same over here, nothing on the website).

I don't know about NZ, but it's probably the same as Australia, EB Australia doesn't get the N7 Warfare pack. It is being offered by GAME. EB in Australia just gets the M55 Argus carbine.
GAME (scroll down - info under N7 details):
http://www.game.com.au/masseffect3 

There is an 'upgrade' of the standard edition to an EB Exclusive "Omniblade Edition". The only additional things in this are a metal case with the standard edition artwork and an inflatable omniblade (as was given out by BioWare at a number of conventions) plus the M55 carbine as per all preorders.

Yep you are right, the store manager just called me back and said that (as with space marine and a couple of other gamestop exclusive dlc's) EB NZ and Australia arent getting the Warfare Pack (and by some weird reason) the N7 edition is not getting the M55 (which according to Chris all games are getting it :unsure:), but Mightyape Australia and New Zealand are getting the Warfare Pack as a preorder bonus though.

Quick question:

Does the N7 Digital Deluxe Edition on Origin come with the bonus character + mission that's included in the retail Collector's pack?

I believe it comes with everything minus the N7 patch, so that's a yes.

Thanks.

And one more thing: are the N7 Rifle + Armor included in the Digital Deluxe Edition as part of the Arsenal Pack, or are they separate retail pre-order bonuses?

God this is so confusing...

If by N7 armor you mean the, well, N7 armor, which Shepard wears on posters and stuff - then it's definitely in the game, but I believe you meant the Defender armor which, along with the N7 Valkyrie assault rifle, is a pre-order bonus for Gamestop. Isn't included in the N7 Edition if you don't pre-order from them.

What I've gathered:

N7 Warfare Gear
Included N7 Valkyrie and N7 Defender Armor.

Australia
GAME
Mighty Ape  

Canada
EB Games

Czech Republic
(X)Zone

Denmark, Finland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, United States
GameStop

France, United Kingdom
GAME

Germany
Amazon

New Zealand
Mighty Ape  

M55 Argus
Includes M55 Argus

Supposedly available for most pre-ordered copies of the game, except:
GAME Australia. Actually, not sure on that one. Their website, despite being plastered with info on the N7 Warfare Gear pack, is suspiciously lacking in any mention of the Argus. However, that doesn't necessarily mean they won't have it.

Not available with the N7 Collector's Edition at:
EB Games Australia.

AT-12 Raider
Includes AT-12 Raider

Available exclusively through EA Origin.


With a table of all preorder/special content on the Mass Effect Wiki:
masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Mass_Effect_3#Retail_Bonus_Items

EDIT: Re-did layout.

Now I'd like to ask Mr. Priestly why I'm doing his job for him...

I'd say keeping the community abreast of what's going on with these preorder bonuses is very much falls within 'Community Coordination'. Especially when the marketing departments seems to have done their absolute darndest to confuse the community about what the hell is going on.

EDIT: My last sentence made no sense.

That's the thing, though. He probably needs a green light from the marketing department in order to share in-depth info with us.

One question regarding the list: Amazon Germany ships the N7 Warfare pack? Interesting.

Nonsense. While incomplete, I've still provided considerably more information than he has using just my elbow grease (Not to mention I can spell the word 'the'). Zero reason he can't do the same, but sticky it and put that BioWare logo under the post so people can find it easily. Instead, now they have to be lucky enough to hit page 26 of this enormous thread, or know about the Mass Effect wiki. Judging by the fact people keep asking what's happening, 26 pages in, they don't.

Yep. Even though they have their own GameStop, which doesn't have it. Which also by the way, makes Priestly's info even more useless since the FAQ implies that GameStops and EB Games worldwide will have it. Which they obviously do not.

That's how marketing works, info may be crawling all over the net, but an official statement is not due a specific date in the future. Happened many times. Nothing Chris can do about it.

Besides, he's been back in the office for like what, three days? Give him time :P

He did say that more info on retailer pre-orders would come soon. I guess they're working on the full list.

No, that's how bad marketing works. Good marketing is getting people to want what you have. Not annoy them into submission.

So how soon after release are these retailer exclusive items going to be available for everyone else on the marketplace? I've got my copy of the N7 Edition on preorder at a local EB (lolEBGAustralia gets nothing) and since I know the manager there he's giving me $10 off.

Really, it's a massive jerkass move to continue with the BS "retailer bonus" deals. It does nothing but ****** off the consumer.

Previous pre-order bonuses for ME2 never went on sale, so.
