Amazon N7 Edition pre-ordered, thank the maker...

No mention of ANY DLC, other than the stuff in the box. Obviously, the EA site mentions what's happening to the N7 Warfare Gear (or at least, will do soon), but what about the M55 Argus Rifle? There's no mention of it on Amazon.co.uk

To be fair, it'll all come out on the XBL marketplace eventually (although it's a bit rum to have to pay for stuff that should have been free with your pre-order), but some clarification would be appreciated.

Lol game FINALLY e-mailed me to say its cancelled. If I waited this long to find out I'd have to be damn well lucky to get a copy.


I still havent had the e-mail from game :L



You better get your order in for CE version  before they all go,lucky when I got my email from GAME   about my ME3   CE cancelled I  went to Zavvi and pre-ordered CE  PC version,cheaper there  too, so  end of the day worked out better for me.

I've ordered from Zavvi before so happy with them.

They don't guarantee release date delivery, but if you pay for expedited delivery (which is pricey) it's pretty likely to arrive on the day (from past experience). Free supersaver? Not so much.

Ordered mine with ShopTo early this morning and pre-paid. It's a terrible situation, but in a way, I'm glad it's been put in the hands of a retailer I can trust. I fully expected GAME to screw up.

One concern however. Did anyone else not get a 'Preorder confirmation' email from ShopTo?

It's probably nothing to worry about. It is listed under my preorders and I've received payment confirmation. They just usually confirm via email when you place a preorder.

I've done the exact same thing, I've got the payment confirmation but no preorder confirmation. Probably nothing to worry about though, that payment confirmation email is as good as a preorder one.


I got receipt for payment from Paypal and account charge from shopto. But it says this in the shopto mail:

This email does not constitute confirmation of contract. Acceptance of
your order and the formation of a contract between you and Us will take
place when We send you an email confirming that the products you have
ordered are being despatched to you

Maybe that's the reason we don't get a order confirmation


I got both a pre-order confirmation and a payment confirmation from Shopto.net. Sometimes the email takes a little while to come through though, so you may get it a little later on.

Thank goodness I decided to check on my preorder again today. Was able to get one from amazon, the only one of the retailers selling the N7s now that I've had positive experiences with in the past. I'm sure people have had good experiences with others, I just prefer to stick to ones I know from experience are good.

1 thing, though this may have already have been said, this isn't game's fault. Those money grabbing morons at EA decided to charge game twice the price for the copies "as it was the end of the financial year". So GAME would have had to increase prices for gamers or sold them at serious loss which they couldn't have afforded, so they decided that rather than increasing prices on gamers like EA did on them, they were going to make a stand and say that they weren't selling ME3 at all because this is not on. Now, as long as people can still get the editions they want, and I realise that's a big if, I think GAME did the right thing, as it saved everyone buying from there from paying way more than they should for their copies of ME3. I realise some people would have been happy to pay more to have avoided losing a CE copy, but GAME can't know who those people are, they had to either charge everyone more or stop selling it and hope that people can get one at a reasonable price from elsewhere.

This is EA messing people about again with money, and whoever decided to randomly charge game more, causing this fiasco and I'm sure causing dedicated fans to lose CEs, is a money grabbing moron that should be fired. EA, hello, it's not all about money, maybe you should think of the fans who've paid you considerable sums for one or both of the first 2 games and DLC up to this point, but no, you're perfectly happy to mess them about as long as it gets you more money, you disgust me.

I seriously feel for anyone who loses a CE because of this, and I seriously hope everyone who wants one can still get one. EA have gone way too far with this, this is completely unacceptable and money grabbing. You idiots who did this beacuse you can't think about anything but money should be ashamed of yourselves, though you'll no doubt be too busy thinking about your new money to be.



Nintendo also pulled their stock from GAME on a big new release. Are you saying that was also not the fault of GAME?

I wouldn't buy into their propaganda if i were you and just look at their track record and the fact they are having issues with multiple publishers not just EA.

EA simply took exception to their tactics of waiting so close to release and messing around so they just said "we don't want your store selling any of our titles at all"

I got my cancelation email from Game about an hour ago. I was pretty panicked because I hadn't heard the news about them no longer stocking it at that point. Luckily I'm a PS3 player so the CE is still pretty widely available at other stores. Game have always been reliable for me with preorders, and I always got my copy a day early with their free shipping option, so it's really disappointing having to switch retailers like this.

If your sorry You could stop being a Greedy **** and only order one


What can I say I panicked, and I doubt i'm the only one given the situation. :unsure:

This whole thing is a complete mess.




You're certainly not.  As someone said earlier, we have no way to know how the stock has been carved up.  Who's got the most, if any of said retailers have done what game did and sold stock they don't have.

I hear its GAME fault,ie no credit insurance or something and finance issues so you can't really blame EA for not taking a chance with them,would you if not credit worthy,I know EA are  no saints but its not their fault.

First class Delivery means you should get it on release day as the items will probably be dispatched the day before IIRC.

They probably only just opened fully a while ago and are getting their heads around everything that's going on. It's early in Canada.
