The word on the pre-release DLC from my local GameStop goes like this...

Some shops, including my local shop were selling it as pre-release by mistake. Those that were sold, had to be recalled and refunded.

As promised, my apologies to the OP for the Troll comment. It was in fact being sold, even if it wasn't supposed to be.

I'm telling you, I'm not mad at Bioware for making day one DLC, I don't mind that at all, it's basically the norm now adays.

But to put out DLC and then not even tell us if it's the same thing as what comes with the CE, that pisses me off as all hell. I don't wanna go buying it just to find out it's the same! Come out and tell us already BIOWARE!!!

This is Gamestops fault not Bioware's. This DLC isn't supposed to be sold yet.

The ME2 collector's edition and later availability of the meaningful story DLC contained therein should have made it clear that Bioware/EA aren't going to keep anything substantial locked-away from a large section of the market, especially when they can sell it.  Of course it's the same.

Also, excusing day 1 DLC by saying that Gamestop wasn't supposed to sell it *yet* is entirely missing the point.

What the hell are you on about? All I'm saying is gamestop jumped the gun and started selling something they have no information on.

If they didn't have information on it, and the means to distribute redemption codes for it, they wouldn't be selling it.  They are selling it.

Bioware has nothing to lose from confusion in the marketplace about what is/isn't redundant content, and them keeping silent about it implies that they are okay with people spending more money  for the same content.  They could easily issue a single sentence statement to the effect of: "If you have pre-ordered the collector's edition, then rest assured that "from dust" is included in your purchase", but they won't do that, because that could cause people to either not buy the additional content, or worse, do the math and cancel their preorders when they figure out they can get the (mostly) same content for less.

That it was meant to be "day-1" DLC as opposed to "pre-order" DLC pretty much confirms that it is the same as what is in the CE, but they don't want that rabbit out of the bag until launch day, to promote more CE sales.

Gamestop is recalling and refunding those codes, so your whole argument is little more than cynical nonsense.

Except for the part where I'm right.  ME3 will drop and 'From Dust' will go on sale as day-1 DLC that is included with the CE.  Just watch.

You're right about something I never said you were wrong about. Bioware has already said that the bonus character will be sold seperately to those who didn't get the CE. This is not the revelation you seem to think it is.

LMAO. Yeah as if nerds and housewives can benefit from a keychain that sends you love notes and requests every few hours.

Bio's making something you have no interest in? The horror, the horror....

[Ice Cold J]

Maybe it's just that the Gamestops in my area are run by people who actually take their job and this industry seriously, but how could people NOT know when to sell something?
I hear about this stuff happening so often, yet I've NEVER known the stores around me (there's probably 5 of them within a 15 mile radius) to be misinformed or unsure about anything. The FEW instances they are, they say they will find the answer and get back to me promptly.

You know, I'm not mad that Bioware does all this day1 DLC/Pre-order/CE crap. What makes me mad is that my fellow gamers throw their money at it every time.

This. The whole thing would have died out already if people didn't go for this sort of thing. 

We've got a whole bunch of complaints here from people who are getting frantic because they don't know whether or not to pre-order a day 1 DLC? AS opposed to buying it the day you get the game, or a day or a week or a month after, or never buying it at all.

[PHub88]

I really do hope its the same as the CE. The main reason I want the CE is for extra story/follower content.

Assuming its not the content that already comes with the CE.

I want clarification from Bioware. If I go an pre-order this DLC and find out that its what I have in the N7 CE I will be flipping mad. For that reason, I'm not going to preorder the DLC until I can get some clarification.

does anybody know if it's even possible to pre-order it yet?

It could be the follower that is coming with the collectors edition.

@dsilvermanea Will the extra squadmate be available for purchase on day-1? #ME3

@Person_Dude yes, the bonus character and mission DLC will be sold separately for people who didn't get the CE.

Okay, I wish that Mr. Silverman would always wear a suit. He somehow looks way less douchey (sorry David) in a suit than an N7 shirt. Perhaps that's because, valid or not, he comes across to me as a marketing guy and not a gamer. I usually find suits to be more douchey, but I suppose not nearly so much as someone pretending to be something they're not.

I sincearly intend no insult to David Silverman in my comments. Just giving my honest, if blunt, opinion.

Edit: Sorry for the off topic-ness

lol dunno why I thought this post was hilarious

[PHub88]

Yeah IDK if thats a joke or what not. Consider me dense but I have avoided ME info for fear of things like spoilers. But now that its almost out I want to make sure I get the right stuff. Is that for real or just some joke? The collectors edition follower will be available to buy on day 1?

My problem is I want all story stuff. I wanted the CE but it is sold out at gamestop so I can get it from Best Buy. Problem is preordering from Best Buy you only get the one bonus gun as oppose to Gamestop giving you two guns and an armor. If I can buy the CE bonus content seperately thats what I will then do since im not worried about the N7 full pack. Just pre order regular version from gamestop and buy the DLC through XBL. I'd much rather get 3 bonus items from gamestop and buy the DLC on XBL rather than get the CE from Best Buy.

you're missing the point. Nobody was even supposed to know about this DLC yet. When they actually put it available for purchase, I'm sure they will give more information on just what it is people are buying, but until then, it was Gamestop's idiotic mistake for accidentally making it available too soon.

Also, you need to remember that this is pre-order. They may not even be done with the thing yet. It hasn't actually been confirmed that this is the same thing that comes with the collectors edition.

I'm sure you'll say "But I bet you it is" or "But I bet I'm right" but whether you think you are or not, you won't find out until they release more information on a DLC that hasn't even been officially released yet, so quit complaining.
