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


But I want my game in a tin case...

HI folks.

I've checked with our team in Australai and this is what I was told:

The N7 armour gear is going to GAME Australia.

EB Games has the omniblade edition which includes the M55 Rifle.

So now you know where to go to get the items. Check with your local retailers for availability.



:devil:

Chris any idea why EB NZ and Australia are going against what EA/BW said earlier on that all new copies of the game will get the M55?

Why? Why is it that everyone who pre-orders gets the M-55 Argus, EXCEPT those in Australia? What's the rationale behind this Chris?

Because its in Australia! We ALLWAYS get screwed when it comes to things like this.  I swear  the rest of the world still thinks were stuck in the colonial era driving horse drawn wagons and riding kangaroos.

Really? That's good news. Did they say that everyone who preorders the CE get the M55 or just you?

No real words to describe this.

I mean thanks for clarity but seriously. This is pathetic, games here already cost more than anywhere else I've ever lived.

One final question the Origin edition still states you get the Argus, is this true or just another case of the left hand not being aware of the right hands existance?

Actually after recalling EB to check again, she couldnt guarentee that the M55 was for theCE as well, but she said from experience that they always end up giving the codes out to people who have preordered anyway.
So really on the day it looks like ill just be hoping that they have spare codes.

Really sux that its not locked in for the CE as well. Seems a bit unfair , were paying 128 dollars for it.

*Grumbles* Kinda tempted to give whoever's in charge of the marketting over here a piece of my mind.

Oh well, at least I'm friends with the manager from my local EB games, but I'm gonna have grease some wheels at GAME to get that armor.... Maybe I should just buy my BF the DDE edition and steal his shotgun instead...

EDIT: Called my EB Games again, and got the same responce as Ice. They said, it SHOULD be included in the box of the CE, since it was garanteed for everyone and, CE is CE for a reason, it doesn't make sense to NOT include it.

More confusion....

Who knows how I can sweet talk someone from GAME into the armor code?

If you preorder from Origin, I think you've garanteed a lot of lovely bonuses for yourself. If you're not using that shotgun, maybe want to send a poor vanguard an early christmas gift? ;)

Soo... going by what Chris said earlier...

The Collectors Edition of ME3, when purchased from EB, won't net you the M55 Argus, but the Omniblade Edition [Aus exclusive, seemingly], which is priced somewhere between regular and collector edition, will. That's... really... really.... odd.

Thinking bout changing my CE preorder from EB to Game to get the N7warfare pack if they havent run out yet (think amazons claiming to be all out of CE already).

Ive got 30 bucks down at EB, anyone know if they refund?

Don't even get me started, Daiyu. I'm still pissed off that GAME exclusively gets that armor when it's supposed to be an EB Games/Gamestop exclusive. <_<

Yeah, EB games refunds, even if it's a preorder. But I wouldn't bother. It's rather late to be hoping for a CE preorder, even from GAME and, well, sometimes sell these codes online.

Can't really help but feel that us Australian fans have really been let down, especially considering how much we pay for our editions. Does anyone remember if anything like this happened during the ME2 CE? I don't remember anything like this happening with DA2 SE.

From what I recall, Gamestop in the US and EB here in Australia had the same pre-order bonus, which was the Terminus Armour set. There were no problems in getting it here.

They also set up morning launches at EB, with Chris sending some swag down our way (extremely limited supply though of 100 t-shirts). They even had a competition for a ME2 poster signed by some of the devs at each launch store. And, yes, I was one of the lucky buggers to get one.

As I suggested a page or so back, if your wanting to change which retailer you have a pre-order with for fear you'll cancel and end up with no copy, simply go to your retailer of choice and make a deposit pre-order FIRST. THEN you can go to the previous retailer and cancel, unless you get a particularly scummy person at the counter, they'll give you back your deposit without a problem.:police:

Might try that, talked to game thismorrning and the guy said he can still preorder CE

 Bit nervous changing to GAME at this late stage though,never used them before, and hope that i dont preorder with them and then near release they tell me theve run out or something.
