After wrestling with an EA support-man, I have yet to recieve any information about HMV being a reliable source for the N7 Collectors Edition. Not a single piece of information, in fact, I was sent here to find out whether or not they are reliable. I though EA was in charge of marketing and pre-order DLC, why the hell are they sending me to Bioware to solve the problem?

just to clarify for the late comers, and because the official post is now a few pages back, all places on this list

http://www.ea.com/uk...fect-3-update-1

who offer the SE with the N7 warfare pack, and who also offer the CE, WILL give the N7 Warfare pack pack with the CEs as well

the official post really should reflect this


Well that's good news, so that means both my preorders of the CE from Blockbuster and from play.com will come with the Warfare pack too... strange that play.com advertised the Warfare pack with the CE lsiting and Blockbuster don't though...?!

I'm trying to cancel my Blockbuster order though


Blockbuster now has it listed. Blockbuster now gets everything Play.com does, even with CE's. It would be easier to cancel with Play.com as it is just a click, rather than a phonecall. Just fyi.

The CE from GAME never advertised the Warfare pack, it was only listed with the SE... which is why I originally preordered the SE from them.

It may have been included, but it definitely wasn't advertised on the original listing for the CE from GAME


It was. In the product page, there was a tab saying "Bonus Offer" and the N7 Warfare pack was there, I'm pretty sure of it.


Well, either way it doesn't matter much now... but at least the Warfare pack comes with both CE and SE from retailers that are providing the Warfare pack... whether they advertise it with the CE or not apparently


Game didn't announce the warfare pack untill quite late, when I placed my pre-order it wasn't mentioned...after the announced, check the CE page and it was listed as a bonus...but wgo the hell cares now, kind of a mute point now.

I have email confirmation for my PC version of the CE from blockbutser, that it comes with warfare pack, plus the title for the PS3 version (still avalable) says it is.  The PC and Xbox ones aren't even listed anymore.

Hope the lesson has been learnt. Do not give exclusives of collector editions to only one retailer, specially if it is GAME. Make them available to all retailers.


YEP!


Steering away from making SEs exclusive to a single retailer should certainly help.

They are. Their EA's support staff obviously just do not know what retailers are offering the CE and/or DLC (they probably never will, either).

They are pretty much only there to help with game support, they never know much at all (if anything) about pre-launch arangements.

Amazon UK has added the N7 Warfare Pack as a pre-order bonus.


But in exchange you now you do NOT get the M55 rifle.

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_163077207_3




The M55 Argus is included in the warfare pack.


The M55 is NOT part of the warfare pack... but lots of places are providing that too... play.com and a few others seems to be fully loaded, CE comes with all that content plus warfare pack plus M55... sweet deal!


Actually....yes it is. BioWare have confirmed this themselves, see numerous confirmations from Tully Ackland above.

From what I can tell, however, The Argus was also available outside of the Warfare Pack as well, which is why a lot of stores have separated them. You can have the Argus without the Warfare Pack, but if you can't have the Warfare Pack without the Argus.

Edit: Due to a page refreshing error, I see that this has been state numerous times already. Wasn't intending to rub salt into the wound old bean.

All right, so just to confirm, I'm safe to cancel my order with Play.com and keep my Amazon one and I'll get the N7 Warfare Gear and the Argus, all for a better price even with first class delivery?

I think you're s.o.o.l. there...from what I know the last copies went quickly after play managed to get some more stock available.

I have been known to be wrong before though, so keep a sharp eye out.

Wait, why then does it say this on the Amazon page:

"*Offer also available on N7 Collector's Editions. Please note, this incentive replaces the M55 Argus DLC. All customers who pre-ordered Mass Effect 3 and were due to receive the M55 Argus will receive the N7 Warfare Gear instead. "

To be fair, after this whole jujuflop situation, I don't think you're going to get many people willing to answer that question in case something else goes ****** up. The information made available to us currently, however, from BioWare on here and Amazon.co.uk says yes.

But don't hold me to what they are saying....

Because the terms have been made unclear as to what the warfare includes, but don't worry, BioWare have confirmed that N7 Warfare also has Argus in it. It was just available as an individual pre-order bonus as well. So one is being replaced with the other, but the other contains the one.

Right now there aren't any left.

But keep an eye out on

Blockbuster.co.uk
Gamestop.co.uk
ShopTo.net
Play.com
Amazon.co.uk

for cancellations. Sometimes they do reappear but you'd have to be quick.

The cynic in me says that there may well be some people up the chain rubbing their little paws with glee at the thought that in order for the UK to get its due, it will just have to go with Origin now and they will still have an awesome profit on release day. A digital download book has all the charm of a rusty razor blade though.

At this rate I'll just stick with the standard edition and to hell with this utterly ridiculous ******-up-in-a-brewery (as my uncle would have said) dribble of info from EA and retailers changing their minds on an hour-to-hour basis.

If anyone is interested a few of us have started a group: Keep Calm & BioWare: UK BW gamers for problem-free special edition releases.

It's a little late to assist with this situation but, who knows, it might just help the next time around?

You won't hear anything from Amazon until it is dispatched. If it is in "Where is my stuff?", then that is your garuantee of recieving  a copy :)

Well. My CE pre-order has been listed as cancelled in my Play.com account.

FFS - can I not just order this damn game and have no issues with it?! Seriously, it's absolutely ridiculous...

Play being reliable as always!   :unsure:


Im concerned about my order with them now as well.   I stopped shopping at Play because they done this before. I really am not suprised though, thats why I ordered from Amazon as well because I knew something like this would happen again!


Sorry to hear this.

I've only ever ordered from them once before, and I never got my pre-order bonus code & the game arrived 3 days late - so I wasn't expecting to have it on release day, but for them to cancel the whole thing altogether? I definitely wasn't expecting that.

So, I've come to accept it - fate does not want me to own the Collector's Edition of this godamn game. :mellow:

I've pre-ordered a Standard Edition from Amazon, and Play can expect to never receive any custom or recommendation from me ever again.
