By Game.co.uk my pre order is still a pre order...... an i pre ordered the day game allowed you to pre order mass effect 3 on there site back in june. from what i been reading so far these are rumours and no offical word as been confirmed by Game just "insider news"   each one i have read so far seems to bend the story there own way


If the other stores have stock for an "exclusive", something is wrong.

Except BioWare confirmed that you need to re-order from other retailers.

1stly GAME - NEVER update consumers - they hope things will go away

2ndly - GAME had the CE exclusively.... now EVERYONE has it

Incidentally all this trouble to the UK consumer could have been avoided by making the CE available to all these online retailers in the FIRST PLACE. EA, be told.

Nothing on website, no email sent. Frustrating because i'd saved up £20 of reward points so i could get the ce for the price of a normal edition. Can't really afford it otherwise. Had it preordered since november. If it is the case then its disgusting from game because surely if you buy something in then sell it, you are making cash. And something as big as Me3 will be successful. If they aren't stocking it its stupid business. you cancel stock of less successful games to save cash not the highly anticipated ones. Still, sent them an email so hopefully they might shed some light on the situation. Highly p***ed off.

My sis got me a £50 giftcard for game which I was gonna spend on my CE preorder instore, so now Im not only losing my pre order, I now have to also pay my own money and use the giftcard on something I dont need. Great.


Same problem, only £70 gift card, I was only buying the regular version of ME3, but now its £40 out my pocket and £70 in vouchers and nothing I want to buy with them.

Probably end up buying games I don't really want just to make sure they do not get wasted.  Or PSN/XBL points (because unless you on PC you gonna need them for ME3 DLC at some point)


I may just end up buying a new controller and some ms points to get the day one dlc, and leave the CE, so dishearted now..  Really wish I'd got to that damn london balloon a lil faster now instead of ninth! Maybe I should sell my n7 bag I got and use that to fund it.

I didn't see the PC Collectors Edition on there though?? anyone else ordered the PC CE edition from Shopto?

Is there anyway for someone who did one of these preorders to secure one for sure or is it just luck of the draw again. Would be nice if there was a way to transfer it somehow.

I feel for all you UKers, worst possible timing for this to happen.


Would have been since if they transfered, then it would be asurance, I had my preorder with GAME since June, and now I've had to frantically preorder from multiple retailers because I have no experience with any of them apart from Amazon who still haven't put it on their site. :(

Yeah, I don't see how this is EA/Bioware's fault at all... it's bad business on GAME's part.


The fact that they gave GAME exclusivity on the Collector's edition is EA's fault.  Even if they couldn't have know that GAME's finances were in so poor shape, that sort of thing is always going to be bad for consumers.


I suppose you could argue that, but GAME has been sketchy the past few years--and not just because of their money troubles.  I'm not going to pretend to know how retailer exclusivity works, but I'm sure these things were agreed upon well before various developments took shape (GAME's stance on Origin, for example).  When you buy out the competitors, as GAME has done, and those shops close, and you've only got a GAME store on your high street...

This may be of some interest (from 01 Feb 2012):

Had my pre-order cancelled by GAME a while ago, went in store to ask why but they just kept avoiding the question as to why and gave me that "in-store credit" crap. Told them to stuff it and if this is how they treat customers, and one who has been buying from them for years, then they won't get another penny from me.

Found out it was actually cheaper to ship in a CE copy from Ireland at Gamestop.ie. Haven't had any problems so far with that order.
