N7 is a collectors edition exclusive or retailer exclusive?


N7 edition IS the collector's edition.


Talking about the Warfare thing.
Any CE should have that. 


The CE comes with the Aresnal Pack, not the Warfare Pack.

Just ordered Mass Effect 3: N7 Collector's Edition on Amazon.co.uk at cost of £54.85 (With Super Saver Delivery). Quite pleased to be honest. Originally, I went for Standard Edition back in July but then, I decided to went for Collector's Edition since it is last game for my character and frankly, it is going to be fun! First time I ever bought Collector Edition!

Of course, in the end, it cost me £26.86 since I forgotten that I applied gift certificate fund of £27.99 against the Standard Edition from last Birthday!. So quite pleased

Of course, it will arrives on my birthday, 14th March 2012.. So slashing out extra money on it seems to be worth it in the end. :)

I think i've managed to move my CE pre order to amazon now. It said sold out for a while but then allowed the order so we'll see... really hope they get enough stock as i've got the ME2 CE & don't want to miss out on the this one.

Very disapointed with Game & have informed them that they've lost me as a customer for good. If they manage to avoid going under anyway..

I believe he means the N7 weapons found in the CE.

Does anyone know the status of the Amazon and BlockBuster Xbox CE stock levels, because the rest of the retailers that are listed seem to have sold out.

I'm asking as I have only just found out and I've decided to pre-order with BlockBuster as I initially couldn't find the CE on Amazon.

Just this minute pre-ordered through blockbuster, They still have xbox 360 versions of the CE. Couldn't believe what I was hearing when I phoned them up about this

I can't believe GAME would do this! a WEEK before release? And all incarnations of the game, not just the collectors edition?

This is going to seriously impact the company, if it thought it was in dire straights before...I'm going to go get my deposit refunded and throw my reward card away most likely. GAME, I am done!

Thanks to Sh2dak. I hope I've gotten one from Blockbuster of all places. This was NOT the way I wanted to end a 24 hour on call shift! Fingers crossed the game will actually materialize....so much for being prepared!

This is getting absolutely ridicolous. EA needs to just give the N7 armor/rifle preorder bonus to all CE retailers at this point

Wow... Last time I was living in the UK (2004-2007) GAME didn't seem to be doing badly at all.

What's happened to it in the past few years?


The internet happened. A high street store can't compete with online retailers who shift their products more cheaply, since they're not maintaining retail outlets.


GAME have been falling behind since the boom of the internet online shopping scene since the early 00's. Since then several dozen websites and new businesses appeared. Play.com boomed and Zavvi.co.uk also appeared (from the previous and now closed Virgin Megastore) and they have done very well. GAME refused to adopt it's old fashioned "we charge full RRP for all games" and their online store was ridiculous too. No one wants to buy a GAME full price at their retail shops unless they were misguided parents who didn't know what they were doing and were conned by the staff into spending ridiculous amounts of money on games they could save about £10 - 20 online.

GAME have had a slow and rotting death while they were alive in recent years. It's a shame, I've bought titles from them for a long time since my Nintendo 64 days but nowadays I have nothing but spite against them.

I mean really. Gamestation & GAME were the only ones in the UK selling CE's and they hogged it all and no one else could buy it from other online stores. It's a shame they have all been busted and I'm very angry. F*** their stupid "oh here's a voucher" crap. I'm glad I managed to order my copy from Amazon.co.uk.

B*stards.

Just want to say thanks to the OP and to Tully from BioWare for the list of alternate retailers. I was able to source a copy through Amazon, who seem much more reliable than this GAME bunch.

Me neither until someone post a link to the post that have the link of retailers who is stocking them with direct links to their pages on these sites. So quite helpful :)

Couldn't they pass the codes onto the people who preordered for the defender armour anyway as opposed to £5 or whatever?

I received an email from Game. I pre-ordered the CE last June.
However, I have managed to pre-order from Amazon.co.uk, which I am happy about as I have prime membership with them and order from them all the time.

Not sure if it was there when I pre-ordered, but theres a big mass effect 3 pic on blockbusters front page now, Must be thinking "WOAH!" at all these sudden pre-orders

As of a few minutes ago they still have 360 CE up for pre-order.

Zavvi had PS3 and PC but looked to be sold out of 360 editions

I see ShopTo has been taken down from the official UK launch update page: I assume this is because they are sold out of the CE on all platforms?

What might help UK gamers if it comes down to an emergency is this - are the US ME3s going to be region free? Obviously the PS3 one will, I'm talking about the 360 version. I can try it whenever I get mine. I actually have both a US 360 and a JP 360. If it's region free, it'll work on my JP 360.

Just thinking if worst comes to worst and you have to buy a US version from somewhere.

I think wether or not GAME go belly up it's gonna harm ME3 sales in the UK not having GAME stock it given their high street presence. Fans don't care but non-fans who just pick up any old game [mostly pre-owned] that otherwise might have taken a chance on it might not otherwise be aware of it. There's no bigger presence than GAME. As soon as it slides off the top charts supermarkets won't stock it which might hamper it's evergreen potential.

Yeah its the last minute thing that annoyed me.  I'm literally not long in from Blockbuster.  They will be getting stock in store Tues-Wed.  So fingers crossed I don't get a call from them aswell.

Wouldn't be surprised, everyone jumped to Shopto.net first. :crying:

If the armor and the rifle are Game exclusive.

Probably all the stores that received the opportunity to sell the CE after the Game screwup will give the package.

This is what should be at least.
