BTW, I have one more question?

When GAME couldn't recieve ME3 anymore, was it only the CE edition they couldn't get or regular and CE edition they couldn't get?


All versions. They will not be stocking it at all.


Oh Ok, just wondering cuz my brother wasn't too sure.

 i'll just wait untill it comes out and grab a copy at my workplace, im not fussed about the bonus dlc for pre ordering but thanks to game.co.uk i did buy 800ms points for free (£5 off voucher cause they are a rubbish company and 199 reward points i'm never going to use) i dont think i'll ever shop there again :devil:


Just did this too, thanks for the tip ;)


http://www.tescoente...undoffwithcode/  if you are just going to buy the normal copy this is a good offer i have just pre ordered it with my staff discount it came to £29.81ish :o i knew it  would be good to work there at some point ;)


Thanks for that! I've pre-ordered the N7 with ShopTo so I hope i'll be ok there!

Both editions, EA are refusing to to extend credit to Game as they have not paid up what they owe and are in financial trouble. So you can no longer buy the CE or the standard edition from game/gamestation. GAME IN STEEP DECLINE.

Strange. The local Game store in my city have not cancelled mine (Norway, Kristiansand), and I even called them. I do hope that I don't get screwed. I sympathize for you who got screwed.

So far it does seem to only be the UK stores affected.

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


Yeah, I noticed that with Zavvi too.  Thankfully I only needed the PS3 and not the 360 version.  Zavvi still has them in stock (I just pre-ordered mine).

Though I checked about an hour ago on Amazon.co.uk before I left to get my refund from GAME (£5 deposit and what I put down on a Gift Card).  I couldn't for the life of me see a CE on there.

Also I don't know if every GAME store is doing this, but I got an extra £5 on my rewards card and they are able to refund Gift Cards in store (and I played with their PSVita Uncharted in store, so I had some fun :D ).

Though there was a bit of a mix up with the Gift Card because one branch refused to even try refunding my Gift Card stating "it wasn't possible", but because I was then forced to go to the actual branch I had originally pre-ordered to receive my pre-order money back, the guy there was able to do it.  Turns out his colleague had been in the same situation for me and they found out how to do it.

If anyone gets the "it's not possible response" insist that they or their manager phone customer services for you.  Plus it helps if you either paid for the Gift Card in cash or with a card and not just with trade in games (which is probably impossible to get anything else other than store credit.... which the gift card already is).

Still, fingers crossed everything goes ok from now on.

 I'm so angry right now- had my pre order lsited with Game since the pre orders went out, and just this moment got a cancellation email. :pinched:

EVERYBODY ELSE LIKE THIS WHO IS 'WAITING AND SEE' IF THEIR GAME/GAMESTATION ORDER WILL BE CANCELLED DON'T BE A DONUT!!! IT WILL BE CANCELLED, BLOCKBUSTER.CO.UK HAS XBOX360 EDITIONS LEFT AND OTHER PLATFORMS TOO.


I had no idea they were doing this as I've put myself in dark mode from the forums, but to see its happening to everyone...god damn. They better at least reimburse the rewards points used on that order :pinched:

I'm just relieved Play.com still had some copies :(

GameStop.co.uk have 360 N7's for those looking for 'em and TBH the N7 warfare pack rightfully their promo content any way. I wouldn't be surprised if GameStop uk get it as they have the exclusive on it in just about every country in which they operate.


The problem with that is that Gamestop.co.uk are not stocking the PC version of the CE.  So if EA give Gamestop the DLC then that will mean PC gamers will be completely excluded from that DLC (who wants to bet EA do this).

I now have 3 copies of the N7 edition on the 360. Excellent, one for me and 2 to sell to some poor mugs who did not see this on time, £100 each is fair i believe, gives me 70 squid profit. This is a great day.


We know. You've said that in your last posts. Quit trollin'

It is not trollin', it is informing, anybody who wants to cough up the dough who has missed out, i will take advantage of you and sell them it for an inflated price.


you haven't got any extra copies.... I doubt mommy would buy them for you at the drop of a hat

ontop of that... you're preaching to a bunch of people.... who have all seen this and gone out and got copies.... at least wait until the N7 has sold out before you start trolling....


until then, could you **** off back under your bridge?



Lol your pathetic attempt to annoy me will go to waste as all i am thinking about is the extra dough and how quids in i will be due to this screw up. Do you want a copy babe? £100 to you darling.

Lets be honest you don't actually have 3 do you, your just trying to annoy people, well good for you, it has worked...

I am being honest. Not that i have to proove anything to you lot on here as no doubt you have secured your copy.

They should just take the GAME pre-order bonus and put it on UK/Euro PSN/XBL/Origin(?) stores for free, as an apology for using GAME and making this thing exclusive in the first place knowing the state GAME were in for months now.

Plus with the scramble to re-secure a CE adding to to a single retailer now is just harsh, people cannot choose when they all sold out.

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?


On the site, search Mass Effect 3 Collectors Edition and you should see three results. It shows PC and Xbox have sold out, but they still have PS3 copies in stock.

What would of been the point? I would of never of got it. I am smug now yes because i have 3 and are going to make a profit on the 2 i sell. But the snobby people on here who hopefully do not know what has happened are the MUGS.


There'd have been no point now, obviously. But you're just bitter you didn't get one on time when GAME supposedly had them which automatically makes everyone who did have one "smug"?

They're not mugs. They will be mugs however if they decide to buy one of your "spares" at an extortionate price.

Why don't you just empathise and sell it on at face value? Or even a small profit?

In their shoes YOU wouldn't want to be taken for a ride and you're now going to punish people for common sense and trusting a company who had the misfortune of not checking their emails on time.

:(  Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. And I heard you guys don't have Gamestop over there? If mine gets cancelled I suppose I would be fine with just getting on Origin, but the geek in me wants a physical copy, so I feel your pain.

Did someone say you could haggle amazon to lower the price back down to £55? Were you just talking about the PC version or were you talking about console versions?

Because all the mugs on here who battle me when i say about Bioware being money grabbers with day 1 DLC they all say, ''its capitalism, they need to make a profit''. Well it's capitalism and i need to make a profitPosted Image

I was talking about the 360 version, but I was ordering at the time the original price went up but couldn't.
