If i were to buy the ME3 on Amazon with a "Expidited" Delivery do you think ot would come one day early ?
Probably not as expidited is so efficent they will wait til the 8th to dispatch.
Ironically, the less you pay for postage the more likely it will arrive early - as they will release it earlier to ensure it makes it to you by releae day at least.

Almost 'forced'....when it went live for pre-order..I tried from Amazon.com...they wouldn't process it as was outside North America...
So yeah... a company that's been floundering for well over a year...was in the news 2 months ago in crisis...is where EA decided to put their exclusive offers...
And again..its the timing that sux...EA knew about this a while ago...Games reputation and credit situation has not changed much in the last few months...EA were fine with Game then...
5 days before release though....well....
And as usual...no word from the important people...just let the flames gather while they drink coffee...

@sh2dak...the console versions are still pretty much available...its the PC version most ppl getting cheesed about....
No, the Xbox 360 version sold out everywhere first, then PC, and PS3 is still available. Don't say amazon.de is 'out of stock' without specifying which format you mean. It's annoying, misinformation that confuses people still searching.
Anybody looking for PC/Xbox versions, try amazon.de and amazon.fr they still have them.

The one I can get now is £10 more than my previous Game order.

No idea, but you can change your delivery option after ordering. For "First class" I have a delivery estimate of the 9th. I'd imagine it'll be the same even if you pay more.MAG Baxter wrote...

You'll probably also find the game is locked so you can't activate it before official launch in your country as with other recent EA titles. I could be wrong on that though.
No, if you go for the free delivery you'll get it after release. I can guarantee that. Amazon do not guarantee pre-orders arriving early or on release date in any way shape or form.DarkHod wrote...

I also remember someone else earlier stating that the estimated delivery date with Super Saver (free) delivery was the 14th (which was their Birthday or something).

Before I order from abroad, is there any chance Amazon.co.uk will be getting any back in stock?

I doubt it, much like with GAME I'm guessing allocation has been reached. There's a finite copy of these CEs available.
Going to Blockbuster on release day would be your best bet.

to be fair to EA the Game exclusivity deal was as previously mentioned by another poster porbably ironed out last year sometime
Hope they learn from this.
Although for those that forgot, the launch of DA2 was plagued with disaster as well and we hoped they learnt from that...

tomorrow might change because some people may cancel there orders if only one shop is getting the N7 warfare packs which will make some people stop hoarding multiple orders and go for the one with the exclusive

Doubt it but all the same I went for that option I'm not taking any more chances plus I've ordered a SE copy but from play.com so I'm hoping at least I'll get to play ME3 on the 9th with or without the extrasMAG Baxter wrote...

in europe I doubt it would be locked because the US will be online, but if it is only the online wont be active especially considering the space editions that some people have would be annoying if I had a space edition and cannot even play the story mode.

EA have done this with other recent games (DRM only being unlocked and you therefore being able to play the game)on the official release date for your country.TomY90 wrote...

plus I am sure like me many have pre order form 2 place me amazon and blockbuster to make sure I get it so like me I would assume most of them will be selling a copy on ebay with a few days of the 9th

It will be locked. The release date here is the 9th....totally irrelevant when it comes out in NA....
Just more EA/Game company bull.....if Blizzard and CDRed and other publishers can organise a worldwide release date....when EA say its not logistically possible..you know they think your an idiot...
And that really goads me...

It is NTSC in Japan.Teleraine wrote...
there are only 3 standards anyone needs to check for conpatibilty
PAL - Europe
NTSC - America
Pal J - Asia/Japan
if its bought in europe its gonna work on your system or really should. Most games arent locked in this generation through MS are a bit weird on that front. Pegi isnt a standard its a rating system.

Hoping Ea learns anything is entirely reliant on how their wallet is impacted by the problems and it dosent look like thats going to happen. I for one have never seen a representative of a publisher in a retail store testing to see laucnh and customer satisfaction...I expect they rely on surveys/forums and retail feedback more then anything else
but this is not EA fault this is all GAME they have been sinking for months they have even done this with nintendo games
