Is it really that the origin bonuses are the same as GameStop's? So this means that if I pre-ordered the Origin's N7 Digitial Deluxe edition (Which I already did) I'll be able to get the N7 Warfare Pack too?
Please, I hope I can.

To get the N7 Warfare Gear you have to pre-order at Gamestop or any other participating retailer.
When you pre-order on Origin you get the AT-12 Raider shotgun.

GAME told me that they will fix paypal by Wednesday (I don't know if it's going to happen). I guess I'll wait till then and try to order it from there (I hope you are right DoomHK XD). If they haven't gotten it fixed by then then I'll order from gamemania. Thank you guys for replying

I wrote an email to GameStop yesterday because I had a question about the pre-order bonuses. This is what I wrote:
"I made a pre-order of Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition for the PC in a GameStop store in Portugal.
What I would like to know is if I will get the pre-order bonuses associated with GameStop, namely the N7 Valkyrie Rifle and the N7 Defender Armor.
I read somewhere on IGN that those bonuses would only be applied in the USA stores and I wanted to sort that out."
I got the following answer today:
"Thank you for contacting GameStop.com.
Our apologies for the inconvenience, but the preorder bonuses offered on the US site are for reservations made off at a US GameStop store and may not be offered outside the country.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to respond to this email."
So I pre-ordered my game at an actual GameStop store but I can't get the bonuses because I don't live in the US?! Besides I saw those bonuses in the Mass Effect site and one of the faq was this:
"I don’t have a GameStop or EB Games in my country, where can I get the N7 Warfare Gear?
•A full breakdown of regions and availability of pre-order offers is coming soon. You can also check with your local retailer for more information about available pre-order offers."
Well I HAVE a GameStop in my country, as a matter of fact I have severall, but apparently I can't get those bonuses for some reason. Does anyone else have this same issue?

That's strange. A lot of other European GameStop stores get the N7 Warfare Gear as exclusive DLC. Why not Portugal? It doesn't make sense.
Edit:
I don't see Portugal on the list of countries that have a retailer that offers the N7 Warfare Gear either.

I'm not sure of the "why" for preorder bonuses and products only being released in certain countries and not others, but it happens all the time.
Europe is getting a RE: Revelations and Circle Pad Pro bundle at a discounted price, but here in the States, no such bundle exists; if we want to use the CPP for the game, we have to buy each at full price. Also, when Gears of War 3 released, Europe got a special14-month XBL Gold subscription card that also offered an in-game weapon skin for free. America got that came card-- but no weapon skin. Why? I have no ****ing clue. I only found out after I redeemed the code.
It sucks, but there's not much you can do besides import or buy the codes on eBay. Either way, I don't think it'll be worth the money. Best you can do is find a friend in the States who wouldn't mind emailing you his/her preorder codes. I've done it before for friends who clearly cared more about the DLC than I did.

@Whaca
What list are you refering to? I assumed (my mistake apparently) that if I made my pre-order at a GameStop store I would be entitled to the same bonuses as anyone else who also pre-ordered at any GameStop in the world (since I never saw information that said otherwise).
@staindgrey
I understand what you're saying and I agree with you that it doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense that some promotions are done in Europe and not in the US just as it doesn't make sense the other way around. It's one thing when a game launches in a country with no extras/promotions and then A FEW MONTHS LATER it launches in another country WITH extras/promotions. Maybe the retailers thought that sales were weak in previous countries and they wanted to boost interest for the game in the new country, that is an excuse I could accept. One country got the game first, the other country had to wait a few months but they were "compensated" for that. Ok, fair enough.
But this is not the case. We're talking about a game that is going to be launched worldwide with few days of difference. It comes out March 6th in the US and merely 3 days later here. I don't see a reason why the promotions shouldn't be the same, especially if we're talking about the exact same retailer. And it's not like it would be that big of a burden since all it takes is a simple redemption code, one that according to GameStop.com is printed on your receipt at the time of purchase.
And I did consider importing, since I wanted to purchase the Collector's Edition and every retailer I went to said that it wouldn't be available in Portugal, only the Standard Edition would. But then I went to GameStop and they said that yes, they would be receiving the CE (which sort of made my day
) and that saved me 30 dollars (that I was planning on spending in DLC).
Do you want to be my friend in the States that gives me the pre-order codes? xP

Nope!
But good luck finding one. Maybe you can put a note in your forum signature asking for a Good Samaritan to do it for you. People do it ALL THE TIME over on the Gears forums.
Seriously. Half their signatures are asking for a certain DLC code, or thanking ______ for being so cool and giving it to them. As long as it's not against the rules here, I say that's your best bet.

you have to live in the usa/uk main cities of commerce to get those bonuses, i guess doesnt make sense why certain places didnt get it a deal unless of course the gamestop store didnt pay to have the special gear code

@Whacka
Thank you for the link I hadn't checkd the mass effect wiki for any ME3 info yet (tooafraid of potential spoilers).
Now I'm just upset, there doesn't seem to be any kind of pre-order bonus in my country! I hope that can still change somehow because it really doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
And what about the M55 Argus Assault Rifle? In the ME site they say "is a channel wide offer and available to EVERYONE who pre-orders" but on the wikia it says that it is "Available for MOST pre-ordered copies of the game". What gives?

Honestly, I don't know.
The M-55 Argus Rifle hasn't been announced (and neither has the N7 Warfare Gear) at the retailer where I have pre-ordered my copy. That makes me assume that I probably don't get it.
Then again, I'm thinking about the possibility that the Argus Rifle is probably packed inside the N7 Edition, just like the the Fadeshear and Lion of Orlais were when the pre-order bonuses were announced for the DA2 SE. I could be wrong though.

Hello. I've got question about availability of DLC's in Poland. EA PL announced that N7 Warfare Gear wont be avaliable in Poland. Currently EA removed N7 WG from box editions and it's only avaliable when ME3 is bought via Origin. Can you give us any information about why this DLC is only avaliable via Origin only in Poland? For example GameStop and most retailers in other countries are getting N7 WG in Box Editions. Many polish gamers are displeased about this fact and some of then are considering canceling pre-order's. This is including me.

Maybe I am a little OT and I'm sorry for that, but I can't find this info elsewhere: I live in Italy, but I want to digitally pre-order an *English language* Mass Effect 3 copy with Origin.
Does anyone know if that's possible? What other options do I have? All this pre-order options look so messy...
ps: maximizing the pre-order bonuses would also be nice, but secondary to the game language issue.

just buy ME 3 CE from origin
N7 Arsenal is part of CE
N7 Valkyrie + N7 Defender Armor = N7 Warfare Gear and it is propably new to origin
M55 + AT12 pre-order in origin

No. The armor and assault rifle are exclusive to Gamestop, or the designated retailers. They are not included in the CE unless it has been pre-ordered from that store.
