I really hope we won't have to chase up DLC codes with play.com, I have preordered but won't be able to actually play the game until I get back to the UK and to my xbox in April!

Guess it is just one more thing I will have to stay on top of. Thank heavens for this forum!



I  had to chase them up for my pre order codes for Witcher 2 and KOA(Kingdom of amalur) however they sent me an email with codes  ( within a day)so can't really complain.


I ordered  CE version from Zavvi(have used them before) this time round but still use Play,ShopToNet and a few others as well for my game orders.

Well if amazon dont get preorder bonuses i'll probs try and get me mate to pre order it and gimme the bonuses since he'll most likely play half the game, some multiplayer, then trade it in like every other game he's had. It worked with bulletstorm since i got the Gears 3 beta thanks to him :P that's my backup plan.

Yeah, I've ordered std version as well from Play.com & Blockbusters so at least will be able to play, better than nothing. Ordered quite a bit of stuff from them in past and always had good service but sadly, no Collector's Edition.

At this rate, everyone will end up with loads of copies. If anyone has a spare CE, let me know. Can't stretch to £2000 though!!! just paid mortgage off. Now, got my eye on a nice graphics card to fit new system i've built....Anniversary on 5/3 if I can just persuade hubby to get his credit card out lol...

Managed to get one at HMV. Same price as GAME, and you get a free N7 T-shirt! Dunno if it is common knowledge yet, but if you go to the website, it's right there! www.hmv.com


Yeah but the shirt looks kinda werid to me for some reason (and I normally looooove merch) and, tbh, I'd rather have the in-game content that was promised to me. To each his/her own though.

Look in Grainger Games (they have for all platforms) and use your game points to buy MSP or whateva depending on console to buy the DLC when it inevitably becomes purchasable.

Grainger Games seems to be the only real choice atm guessing they wont last long now stockwise.

Cheers Heliosas. I've ordered it anyway. On credit card, full amount. In theory can get a refund...In practice. Well it's not a huge amount of money.

Well, I too had that e-mail of doom from Game today (and after I'd preordered it in June last year!), and was understanably (I think) quite annoyed with it. All of the links in the OP's post don't sell it for the PC any more either.

However, I went to grainger games (as suggested by another poster) and purchased from them. Not used them before so I doubt I'll get it for release day, but then again I'm working on release day so it doesn't matter too much for me.

One thing that does worry me is that the info for the PC version says 'more information coming soon' but the 360 N7 edition has all of the bumf you'd expect (bonus squaddie, in-game packs, tin box, etc). So I will wait and see what happens with this...

After the carnage of the Battle of the Citadel, Alliance officers commissioned a new rifle for their ground forces. A variation of the popular Avenger design,
the Valkyrie is now standard issue for new recruits. Exceptionally
well-crafted, accurate, and packing ample firepower, the rifle is a hot
black-market item on the rare occasion it surfaces.

I know Shep can be quite promiscuous, and I know there was that whole thing in ME2 with the Scale Itch virus... but I didn't think Bioware would go so far as to release "Mass Effect 3: STD Version".

You could resell the card independently to your friends, eBay etc. or you should just save it until something you like comes out, unless you just buy a new controller, or a bunch of games you've always wanted to try but haven't bothered

Don't take this as 100% because I could be wrong but if my understanding is correct EA isn't the only company pulling the products from GAME, apparantly Nintendo are also going to be doing the same, so I wouldn't hold onto that card too tightly or you may end up losing the £50, as it does seem like the beginning of the end for GAME.
