Already pre-ordered via origin for the CE version. Then saw the armor and rifle gamestop is offering as a bonus. Tried calling to see if any more copies were available, NOPE. They are no longer taking pre-orders. Guess I'll have to stick with my origin CE version with the rifle and shotgun. Kinda bummed.
Perhaps there's a solution to this:
1) Keep the pre-order with Origin for the CE.
2) Find a buddy who wants ME3 standard edition, and doesn't care about pre-order DLC. Offer to sell him a standard edition of the game for 40 or 45 dollars, no tax. Obviously your buddy and you have to be playing on the very same gaming platform.
3) Pre-order the regular edition from GameStop, so that you still get the GameStop exclusives.
4) Upon release, sell the standard edition to your buddy for previously arranged, reduced cost, but you *keep* the Gamestop pre-order codes that are given to you when you pick up this copy.
This alternate way would allow you to control exactly what you're paying for the extra crap without resorting to having an extra copy to do nothing with. And, you don't have to deal with Ebay vulture vermin.
