They DID say that Mass Effect 3 was the Most Anticipated Game of 2012, Remember?

They didn't name it so for the butterflies or the Lolz, you know....

What will Bioware do for people who ordered a CE in good time and faith but are now unable to purchase a replacement copy?

I fear nothing. After all, if all the physical stock has been allocated, it's not like they can magically produce more.

I just got my N7 Edition for Xbox (it was meant to be a gift for my brother) CANCELED from Game.co.uk -.-' and I preordered it when it came available..

I don't have anymore words.. just a big WTF?!?


Just? Hmm pretty odd, i assumed they worked down the list sending out the cancelled emails, i ordered the day it was available and got my email at 2:44 pretty much as soon as the news broke, The Internal Memo got sent at 10:30.

If you preordered at the start then you should of got your email then aswell, The pattern iv seen is the later the preorder the later the email

well cd printing all fine but the tin printing needs to be done in batches of 10,20,30k I looked it up once I didnt think having 30k cases would be good for my wallet though :P and its EA im sure they settled on an acceptable level of pressings to wring out the highest percentage of profit.

All I aint seen many politicians worth there salt in years but we're discussing Game, ME3 CE lets please not politicise it.

Heh, ok I'll leave that for CiF. Wrong outlet for my political diatribes.

Am I the only one thinking it amusing that Zavvi is now a 'rescue' retailer for EA, considering that the original Zavvi, shortly after it's transformation from Virgin, collapsed over stock issues (ok granted it was tied up to the Woolies failure via EUK)? Hence the reason I'm avoiding anything with that name by a very wide margin

The £5 store credit is obviously intended to be used against "Coronation Street: The mystery of the missing hotpot" which they seem to have plenty of stock of. Can't imagine why... It must be Game's leading title for the weeks ahead...


LMAO

Hmm, well my GAME order has now been officially cancelled. I pre-ordered it from Amazon earlier today when the news broke, so hopefully I will still get it. If, for some reason, it doesn't work out, at least I can get a standard version with FemShep on it. :-)

Just got in from work & came back to the forums to see if there were any official BioWare updates & noticed this thread, I checked my email & saw the Game (**** Game!!!) email. Now I'm totally gutted! I can't find anywhere that has the Xbox360 CE in stock at the time of writing this, I feel sick :sick:

If I got a CE from Germany will it be localised in German or does it come with English voice acting?

PLEASE IF ANYONE KNOWS, LET ME KNOW!!!

Thanks

I don't think it was EA that notified GAME so late in the...game (*groan*). The way I see it, EA and GAME negotiated an exclusive deal for ME3 rights to the UK territory sometime last year or even the year before that. EA probably received a small advance, which was x% of the minimum guaranteed payment upon delivery. As EA was probably about to deliver the product, GAME defaulted on payment(s). EA probably demanded an LC from a bank, GAME probably couldn't get one in time, or was flat out refused. Or maybe the bank underwriting their transactions revoked their LCs. Who knows. Either way, I'm sure GAME was doing everything they could to satisfy EA and I'm sure EA did everything they could to secure their own interests, until they couldn't risk it any more...thus we ended up with the clusterf... that we have now.

Stuff like that really does happen in business on the highest levels. Sometimes things just go awry and all you can do is to try to douse the fire before everything goes up in flames.

I'd like to assure you that everyone who can help in this situation is indeed working on it. It's become clear to us now that we wont have a list of confirmed retailers who will carry the N7 Warfare pack until tomorrow. As soon as we do we'll communicate it.

We're doing everything in our power to address this as soon as possible.

why would it have english audio? I've seen very few console games with multple audio tracks just because it saves time and money not to.
