I'd be massively surprised if it didn't come with the Argus, seeing as that's generic preorder.
That said, as a newcomer to Oz (3 months in Brisbane yo) I've got to laugh at the state of game costs here.
Even digital downloads cost tonnes more than from the UK. FTW is up with that? those internet packets heavy?

I'm pretty sure GAME just gets the N7 Warfare Pack, the Argus Rifle is a generic preorder in the USA only.

Im hoping EB here in NZ will get the N7 Wargear Set but I am getting a weird deja vu feeling of Space Marine again with EB not getting the Gamestop dlcJakePT wrote...
Supposedly everyone gets the Argus. I'd say if it doesn't show it, it's a mistake.
It does suck however that EA changed retailers with the bonus. I got ME2 from EB games, which came with the Terminus Armor/Blackstorm, so that's where I preordered, but now it's GAME that gets the equivalent!
So I've preordered from GAME anyway, and once I'm confident they'll have the N7 stock (i.e. I don't hear anything for a while) I'll cancel my EB order.
I hate to do that, since I hate the fact that this business practice is making me do exactly what it wants me to do, but I want all the content.
Just get it from Mighty Ape if you're in New Zealand
Pretty much the same price but Mighty Ape gets the N7 wargear set
Same for anyone else ordering in NZ
Edit: And it seems the wargear pack also includes the argus rifle

Actually the N7 Warfare Pack is exclusive to Gamestop (but I've read somewhere that GAME has it too, don't take my word for it).
The Argus Rifle is a general pre-order incentive.
At least that's how it works in Europe.

It doesnt work like that mate, the N7 Warfare Pack is only Exclusive to Gamestop in the USA. Other countries have different exclusive pre-orders, the N7 Warfare Pack is exclusive to GAME here. The Argus Rifle SEEMS to be an exclusive to EB Games with their Omni-Blade Edition.(No idea whether the Collectors Edition at EB Games even gets the Argus)

the rifle is meant for everybody that pre orders while the N7 gear is exclusive to gamestop (USA) and maybe EB (Aus/NZ)

I would normally say yes, but for some reason EB NZ and Oz about a third of the time do not get the Gamestop dlc (its been the Walmart a few times and the Amazon a couple of times), my local store manager says it is what their Head Office has been given by their suppliersUnato wrote...
which is why it runs counter to what Bioware has posted

And the Argus is avalible with the Origin Preorder, so it's most definitely NOT exclusive to the US/Europe/Russia/everyone who isn't Australian

This always depends on the location of the EB games as I've heard it. EB games in the capital are more likely to receive the same extras as US GameStop, depending on how popular the game is.mcneil_1 wrote...

the N7 armor and I assume the N7 rifle is exclusive to gamestop (USA).
the M55 rifle is exclusive to anyone that pre orders the game (irrespective of CE or standard edition)
I dunno what's happening in Aus, I'll find out hopefully tomorrow when I have time to call them. I'm more likely to rage if I miss on DLC character / content then a rifle and / or an armor (that's why easy exist, imo anyway)

When I ordered the CE it was because when I looked over the contents I decided it was worth the extra money and I knew I wouldn't be able to get it if I didn't ask them to order it in for me. It was basic mathematics.

That really sucks, think ill call them tomorrow anyway because ive just noticed they charged me $128.00 for the pc N7 Collector's Edition, however it says $108.00 on their webpage.

Gamestop is EB.
If you have pre-ordered from EB you should still be getting the N7 Warfare pack - at least they told me I was getting it.
They also told me I was getting a Deus Ex Beanie though... : (
Long story short - I didn't.

If you are ordering from EB Games and expecting to get the Warfare pack, your joy may turn into sadness. Then anger....
My advice to be on the safe side, do what I did, go to GAME, pre-order your copy, then go to EB Games and cancel your copy there.

...wait a minute...
N7 Warfare is GameStop exclusive - gamestop is EB.
Game (singular) is competition to EB....
How the heck does this work?
This DLC is out of control....it also goes against what I was told by my EB store that I would get the N7 Warfare pack...

It's good to know I wasn't the only one who missed out on the beanie. This is the first time I am purchasing a game from EB's in a long time as I usually just get all my games now from OzGameShop.com, but I couldn't wait for ME3. =P
As I live in Alice Springs - all online internet orders are a risk.
Our Post Office recieved a package once - denied they recieved it - three weeks later "Oh, it just came in."
EB games is my safe zone

I got confused as well,that's why I ordered from EB Games first, but that is EB Games in Canada that gets the Warfare pack, not EB Games Australia
Go to this website scroll down a bit and you'll see how it says it is exclusive to GAME
