Just be aware that many people have on reserve multiple copies so as to ensure that they get the DLC - Once the retailers offering the DLC is announced, there may be a significant amount of cancellations so there will be a few more available, so keep your wits about you and good luck!


Best advice of the night.

Hey Minimoo, your name sounds familiar from the ME3 multiplayer demo. I think we may have been on the same team. :)

Have you unlocked a multiplayer Revenant rifle?


I have indeed unlocked it :) How long ago are you thinking that we played? I haven't been at home to play it for the last week and a half so, :crying:

DTHD....as Druss pointed out...

It would also have required EA to show they care about fans loyal enough to pre-order months ago

And we know they don't...

@teleraine...this will probably work for certain versions....IIRC, the CE of Origins was coded to activate on any server...the standard version was coded to only authenticate on the server of the country it was bought in...I knew of a few ppl who picked up the standard version from the States on holiday, only to be unable to activate it once in the UK...

EA did eventually solve the problem for them....but again....just another form of hidden DRM...because they don;t charge the same price in every country....just like Warner Brothers when they demanded region coding on DVD's all those years ago....its a financial scam.

Anywhere in EU you should be good, further afield, I would not not take the chance.

Cannot find the PC version anywhere. What's the point of a GAME voucher when I'm never shopping with them again after this?


I used it in conjunction with my £10 f reward points and grabbed 1600 microsoft points, All my deals are settled with GAME and the sooner this company goes bankrupt the better, Get Gamestop in retail outlets in the UK and be done with it. GAME have been in deep water since they made the website changes back in august and it isnt getting any better. I previously worked for the company and what a joke they are.

Iv had nothing but problems with them since around october but i backed them because they had done well by me previously, However enough is enough.

Gamestop had retail outlets in the UK up until last month, they closed them all down and moved their business online. There wasn't that many of them, I think less than 10 and 3 or 4 of them were in Northern Ireland. The staff turned up one day to find a notice saying the shop was closed down with immediate effect. I lost my original pre-order in that fiasco. It seems specialist game retail is doomed in the UK.

Bearing in mind what happened with Game and what is going on on this forum I wouldn't expect people to cancel theirs pre-orders for extra copies. They most likely will put them on ebay and sell for more.  At least I would do that...

@ SnapJack I actually wanted the physical stuff the tin, the book, the cd ok so it will all eventually come out someway I just wanted the CE for the CE. I am disappoint.


I know how you feel. Of all the stuff I won't get the soundtrack is the one that actually disappoints most, especially after playing the demo. It's a pretty ******-poor situation all round.

Well I have two on order, but I just don't have the time or effort to try and flog one off at a later date. Who knows... I'd feel pretty awful doing it because it frustrates me whenever people do stuff like this, especially with things like tickets.

It would be a very rare company that did as you've suggested in this situation. It's not a case of "Evil EA" ;)

If you  mean the Saturday just gone, that can't have been me (unless one of my 'rents has a tendency to play my Xbox whilst I'm away :blink:)

But your name sounds familiar too, assuming your GT is the same as your BSN name.

Confusingly, Play Asia usually says that when they've allocated all of their preorders, so that means they're sold out.

Just a quick question for some: those who pre-ordered from Gamestation or Gameplay (which are subsidiaries of Game in case you were unaware): have you received a cancellation email?

I've pre-ordered with Gameplay. However, I have not received a cancellation email and the status of my order on the website is still 'Ordered'. I don't expect to be getting the game from them now, but this is a little curious still. As the Gameplay website will be vanishing tomorrow (to be subsumed by Gamestation), I was wondering how the Gamestation site has handled these 'cancellations'.

its quite stunning to think once Game does fold and takes Gamestation with it that there will only be HMV (meh there pulling out as well no pc games) Whsmiths (meh overpriced) and the supermarkets left (jsut meh for the hell of it)

Comes down to DTHD...how much money do EA want to potentially lose?

They have the worst reputation in the gaming industry, a new chairman/director has not changed anything, they still run the same business model....still as ruthless as ever...

Now personally (though I'm not an exec at EA on millions a year...so what the hell do I know)....I would see this as the perfect opportunity to gain some good rep with the gaming community and start to change the image of the company...

But then...we both know they won't lol...

Thank you very much :) Sorry for the late reply. I was just curious as the trailer said you'd get the pack from Gamestop, then the EA site confused me.

Thanks again!


No problem mate.  As i stated in the email, i've not seen it on their site anywhere, so I am taking it with a pinch of salt.  The trailer you might be regering to maybe made for the US market, where i belive Gamestop do have the N7 warfare pack.
