Sorry if this has been said, but if you preorder from Origin you can get the N7 version for 54.99 with ALL bonus items


That's digital edition, some of us want the physical copies/goodies.


I know, and i would of thought that too, however on the Origin site under whats included in the Digital Deluxe N7 it lists the N7 Hoodie and Lithographic print and comic (tho i know the comic could b digital).
Just saying ppl might want to have a look :)

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?


You don't haggle, it's customer service and they're there to help you.

Explain nicely what happened: You attempted to order the game as soon as it was listed at that price, but it didn't let you checkout. You ordered again, successfully this time, but the price is now higher.


I've tried asking them, they say the listed price was the one it is now, "as checkout wasn't completed, this is now reflected in the price change" >.< rats

I've just been able to preorder the Collector's Edition from Blockbuster - now feeling less sick after having read Game's email.


Hey man thanks for pointing out that blockbuster has the collectors edition, just pre-ordered mine from there after my 11 month pre-order from game got cancelled!

Just a heads up: Blockbuster still has the CE for ALL PLATFORMS!

It's probably not going to get the Warfare pack (they never seem to get those things - probably because of GAME) but you can still get the game, which is what counts!

Wow goto work for a few hours and loads of sites are already sold out. Glad I got my order down early in the morning think blockbusters and amazon are the only ones left with them in still.

This might be of interest to some of you, From Amazon (sent the same question to Play earlier then this and they haven't replied yet):

Please let me reassure you that we try to only take orders we can fulfill and after checking your account I am confident that you should have no problems receiving your game. It should arrive on the 9th of March which is the release date as you have selected First class as your delivery option. I am sorry but the pre-order bonus content are presently exclusive to Game I don't know of any plans to include this pre-order bonus but I will highlight your request with our purchasing team, at this stage your order will only the game as described.

So  -
Unlikely they oversold (Good)
Should arrive on the 9th even with the cheaper of paid postage (good, may even arrive the day before if they send it out early to ensure this)
No Clue or plan to bring the Game Exclusives to orders, but it is going to be raised with the purchasing team (half and half)

LOL, this was a scare, had the Gamestation preorder so long and now they cancel it so close to release. But re-ordered from Amazon UK right away as soon as I noticed they were carrying it now.

Yeah, it might just be me, but England seems to have a phobia for haggling. (Assuming you are from England)

Question for anyone familiar with Zavvi's ordering system. When I check my account on Zavvi's site it says 'awaiting stock pick' when checking the order status. What does that mean? I've already got a confirmation e-mail and the estimated dispatch date says 9th of March (when it comes out).

Or should I order with Amazon as well? Just in case.


As of this moment Zavvi have sold out on ME3 CE PC/360. I think it means that they are awaiting being supplied but your order has been confirmed.

If you don't feel safe then order from Amazon as well. I'd do that. So yeah, just incase. You don't wanna risk it, heh.


Yeah, I ordered it an hour or so before it said 'sold out'.  I've went and ordered with Amazon already just in case.  Man this GAME situation has me all over the place.  Plus I've never ordered through Zavvi, had I spotted the CE at Amazon I would (but I had to search for it and even then it only came up when I included 'N7' in the search).

Thanks anyways.

I agreed. Britain is not really good country for haggling. Always worth a try though, mostly when buying expensive items in shops.

There is really no need for trying to be a smart arse <_<

I actually agree that the issue of exclusives can be levelled against EA as well, and feel it's a business practise that needs to stop. Was not defending that aspect of this situation in anyway. My original post was mainly in reference to the whole picture, meaning GAME not getting the credit they were expecting from an 'evil money hungry corporation' rather than being fixated on the issue of exclusive content.

In terms of the exclusivity deal, yes EA has dropped the ball a bit and hopefully this will be the catalyst that helps do away with such silliness in the future.

Ever since the fiasco after Game utterly ballsed up their website they have just been proving more and more unreliable, shifted my order to the N7 Digital Deluxe off Origin as noone seems to have the PC collectors ED anymore.

Making sure I spend any remaining reward points on a last couple of purchases as well before I give up on Game for good, Yakuza: Dead Souls for 8 quid, yes please.

Well, now i've re-ordered and eaten my dinner, I can vent.

It won't be anything major, because as long as Amazon isn't allowing people to over-order i'm still getting my game, a little cheaper and with Prime delivery. Never the less, im am pretty angry... to the point I have taken ALL my business elsewhere from GAME. The first strike was Dead Island; my pre-order arrived days late. Second strike was their 'site upgrade' that made my orders invisible for weeks. This though, this is too far.

I've taken my preoders for ME3:CE, RE, Bioshock, Tomb Raider and so forth to Amazon and deleted my cards from the site.

I'm also not happy with EA and (by proxy Bioware) for giving a company that is obviosuly struggling badly exclusive rights to the CE.

Sheeeeeee*******tttttt.

I could end up with 3 copies of this game if I'm - not sure if it should be lucky or unlucky.

I preordered with Gamestop.ie when the news first appeared that GAMe had cancelled some online preorders, but I did not join up so I cannot track the order (they took the money though, so it should be fine - especially since Barclays have effed up my debit card right now). Now I've ordered from Amazon but not got the confirmation yet... But it can't be guaranteed that either will reach me on March 9th before I leave for work, and since I've wangled the afternoon off to play this, I'm going to have to buy the regular version at HMV or somesuch.

I'm planning on getting a fair way through by Sunday, so if I don't get the N7 by Sat, I'd probably end up paying for From Ashes too.

So with GAME and Gamestation out of the game now, and with ME3 release date JUST around the corner,

I went through half a dozen retailers you guys mentioned throughout these forums and precisely zero of them have ME3 N7 collectors edition and/or ship to Croatia.

Now what? Find a new retailer which ships to Croatia and wait for ME3 N7 edition to be back in stock. How many weeks could that take? And I just lost all the sweet pre-order bonuses out of the blue. Such is life, huh? Well it sucks, now I won't get to sew the N7 fabric patch into my black leather trenchcoat.

Anybody know what's the best retailer that ships worldwide? So I can wait at that one to have ME3 N7 in stock...

A piece of my soul died today.

Sadly this is very short notice for at alot of ME3 fans especially for those of us who wanted to get the Collectors Edition of ME3. Thankfully here in Ireland at least alot of game stores still seem to be taking pre-orders for the CE.

That's a bad omen. Remember how long it took them to get the initial bonuses up all that time ago? And with how many delays? History repEAts...
Still, glad Ebay's got my back with both the AT-12 and now the N7 Warfare packs.

Been reading a couple of articles on this debacle and I'd like to know if anybody else here thinks that this might be a ******-for-tat retaliation against EA for rejecting their new terms after the meeting they had with the major publishers last month.

GAME aren't in any position to negotiate terms but it seems after being scorned by EA's snub... GAME group have really dropped EA in the **** with this just a week from launch of probably one of their biggest titles of the year... probably looking to cause them as much inconvenience as possible as a pretty ill-advised strong arm tactic... as a warning to the other publishers to play ball maybe?

Does anyone know if the Origin pre-order bonuses come with the Digital Deluxe Edition as well as the regular edition?

This makes me curious:

We will confirm the details of the Standard Edition N7 Warfare Gear pre-order tomorrow (Thursday 1st), apologies for the delay.


But the description on Origin doesn't specify.
