Ok working it out the PC CE from Mighty Ape New Zealand would cost you $146.99 NZD = £77.20 and not including customs charges that might be levied.

There will most certainly be Customs charges, last time I purchased a PC game from overseas to the UK  I got hit with about £10 worth of Customs charges! :(


Shamefully, I did not consider that. Rueful, I am sorry for the disappointment.



I'm doing an Elcor bit by the way.


Sarcastically: Hail, prince of the obvious.

Damn I can't compete with Farscape references. Well before my time. Will buy the Blu-Ray(s?) in the near future hopefully.

Feel somewhat cheated that Amazon (and any other places that sold the CE that aren't Zavvi/ShopTo/The Hut) gets no pre-order DLC - especially since folks like me who had pre-ordered from GAME ages ago had all of it pretty much guaranteed. :(

By not making codes freely available to all the retailers mopping up GAME's customers to ensure people get the content they were originally promised, we've been forced to gamble with our orders, and for those of us who didn't pick the 'right' retailers, we've lost out.

Granted, it's early days, and perhaps things will change, but it's pretty cheap to now have to wait for it to come out as DLC (or not...) and have to pay for what was going to be free content, or pay something like £25 on the secondary market for the same.

How about I make it easier and point out that the n'wahs at GAME are no worse than some of the fetchers at EA. Bunch of swits the lot of them.

I'm just..tired i guess.  this has been one epic mess,  and - it seems - rather than EA doing what most people would say is the decent thing and give everyone who bought the CE the dlc, some are gonna miss out through sheer pot luck.


It is the arbitrary nature of the whole thing which is the most galling...

If I miss out on the warfare pack because I wasn't born with the gift of precognition I will throw a hissy fit so epic it will make Basil Fawlty look restrained.


I just imagined a Turian Basil Fawlty. It made me lol. Thanks.

Secondly, I'm pissed about the pack too but not as much as you, it seems, simply because until about 9am today (from 7pm yesterday) I was sure I was not gonna get a CE.


 You're welcome;)  I take it you managed to get one in the end?

Lol. Oh god you just don't stop with the funny. HA. EA ... decent.

(Manages to stop rofling, gets up and tries to regain composure)

Yes, I did indeed, from Blockbuster's.

Now pardon me.

(Resumes rofling at the prospect of EA doing a single decent thing in the foreseeable future)





I'll be a laughing stock if they actually do the decent thing this time, won't I?

If you're lucky, you'll get away with saying that it is merely the exception that prooves the rule. Hopefully no-one will read this post.

I Totaly agree, I got my PC N7 CE from Amazon as soon as I could but without the full package im very much considering going for the Origin Digital Delux Edition, need more time to think first :blink:

I suppose if you can read japanese and are interested in the CE edition you could always get it from amazon.jp.... just saying.


Depends if it's region free or not....


As far as I know, there are no regions for PC games. Also if youre gonna go foreign, try an English-speaking are to get English, you know, stuff. I've been suggesting http://www.mightyape...ition/10768520/ for a while (with delivery total cost of £78 approx payable by PayPal/Bank Transfer). And also, if anyone's wonderin, I don't work for mightyape lol. I was just about to order from there before the awesome, awesome wormeater told me abt blockbuster having restocked. Once again, kudos to wormeater.


There are regions stll for the PC platform. My query about this was mostly based on the japanese amazon because the Japanese are always a little different when it comes to things like that... *Cough*Mother*Cough*


Actually PC's are not region locked to anything, it all depends on if the game uses a 3rd party service which checks your region, i.e Origin or Steam.

I know how you feel since I too was a GAME CE pre-order until their fiasco,anyway I  went with Zavvi(mainly because of  great price and have  delt with them before) Amazon are ok but can be slow at times.
I almost went with ShoptToNet,was pot luck end  of the day for DLC  however lucky for me I  made the right choice with Zavvi.

Some discs are still region locked. I came across one the other day, was an old game though so...

I know, stupid right?  Instead of 'decent' I should have said 'initiated a much needed PR exercise.'  EA really have this gift of making me feel like a total mug for bothering to play games.
