I almost feel bad for making this thread...it had to be done I guess.

If anyone is interested, Game online has $10 off the normal copies of ME3 for PS3, xbox, and PC - nothing off the N7 edition though.

I'm just not going to believe anything the retailers tell us until someone from EA or Bioware comes forward and offically tells us who is getting what. 50% of the time, they usually don't even know what's going on.

I've already PM'ed Chris about it, he said he'd give us clarification as soon as he recieved it himself.

Did you give him a link to the thread? A public post would be pretty useful from someone at Bioware.

Yeah, I did, but I also noted that, aside from GAME, nobody really seems to know what exactly is going on, since more than a few people are saying EB Games says they will get the exact same content as GAME, while others are saying that EB Games says they won't.

I really hope this is cleared up soon.

This is what Chris Priestly said in the Mass Effect 3 News and Announcements page, and it's still up there:

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.


That was about a month ago, and anybody reading that would assume that 'Hey, I have EB Games in my country, that means I should pre-order with EB Games to get the Warfare pack'. That's what I did, and had I not liked 'GAME' on Facebook, I would never have gotten their message that the Warfare Pack was exclusive to them.

A full breakdown of regions and availability of pre-order offers is coming soon.


Still waiting for the breakdown Chris! Unless you posted it elsewhere. And it seems even some staff members at EB Games don't fully know what's in their pre-orders. I know your a busy man. I just think people here need that 'nail in the coffin' that if you want the Warfare pack in Australia, do not pre-order from EB.

That's great, honestly for once I just wish we could buy games like the U.S. Directed marketing, better plans and $60 price tags. But at least a little info from Bioware should make it easier to understand what's going on.

So both EB & GAME are selling the N7 CE, but only GAME includes the N7 warfare gear (being the N7 Valkyrie assault rifle & the N7 Defender Armour)..?

All aus N7 CEs come with N7 Arsenal which includes the Sniper rifle, Shotgun, Pistol & SMG right? Its just GAME that has the additional warfare gear?

As far as we know g-w-m (shouldn't that be GWS?). All CE editions come with the N7 Arsenal, but the N7 Warfare Pack is retailer-exclusive. Seems to be from GAME, but there's quite a bit of confusion.

I don't mind price tagging as much, but I gotta agree with you in terms of plans and marketting. That's not even just towards games. Books, TV shows, movies. Australia always seems to get it second hand, if at all.

I'm saying this now Australian Governent, the only reason I buy stuff overseas instead of locally, is because you don't even provide it locally.

 so I emailed EB (because why the hell not) providing the link the ME3's website (http://masseffect.com/about/order/ )

Thanks for contacting us! The contents of the Mass Effect N7 PC Collector’s Edition is as follows:

 N7 Collector's Edition includes:

  •  Mass Effect 3 game
  • Exclusive Hardcover Art Book
  •  Exclusive Collectible Tin featuring male and female Shepard
  •  Exclusive N7 Fabric Patch
  •  Exclusive 4x6 Lithograph
Exclusive Bonus In-Game Packs
  • Exclusive Squad Appearance Pack
  • Exclusive N7 Arsenal Pack
Also includes:
  • Exclusive Extended Soundtrack
  • Dark Horse Comic Book
  •  Additional Downloadable Mission and Character
  •  Bonus Avatars and More
In regards to the link that you have provided in your email these bonuses
are only eligible for preorders made with Origin, GameStop & Best
Buy which are American companies.

While we are owned by GameStop, as we are a completely different country this
means that we don’t always receive the same preorder bonuses that other
countries receive.

In this instance we are not offering these preorder bonuses.

I hope this has helped to answer your question, apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks again for your enquiry; we hope to see you back online again soon.

Did you reply regarding the M-55 being available to everyone? Or it supposedly being available to everyone?

in summary my original query fielded 2 question

a) does the N7 Collector's Edition include the N7 Warfare gear (armor + rifle)
B) does the M55 Argus rifle come with all pre orders

I worded it in a more formal way but that's the gist of it. the reply is what quoted

According to Origin, you get both the Argus and the Shotgun if you pre-order either the Digital Deluxe Edition (N7), or the generic edition.

You get pretty much ALL the bonuses if you got a DDE from Origin.

Come on man, read the posts previously. No, the CE from EB has no POB. Okay I just liked using acronyms, but no there aren't any pre-order bonuses for the CE at EB games.

I don't get why some feel it's 'too late' to switch over from one store to another if they have already paid in full. You can easily get a refund. They have to give you it if you want to do so and have the receipt handy. Make the extra effort and go to store since you're gonna be benefiting in the end.
