Why blame BioWare? They just make the game. Why blame EA? They manufactured all the discs, looked at Game's credit rating and, since they've got a low credit score, wanted a bit more for security. Game, knowing it had all these pre-orders, decided that they wanted to get in to a dick-waving competition with the largest game publisher there is, and said "Nah, I don't think so", and decided not to purchase the game. Don't blame EA, as soon as they were told no, they put the CE's on to 6 other sites for sale.

Game, you suck!

This situation is a real f**kup on GAME/EA part!

I had pre-ordered N7 CE XBOX360 (my main ME platform) version and was planning to pick up SE PC version from Origin.
Luckily for me, i stumbled onto ths thread just in time to pre-order at least N7 CE PC version from Amazon (just before they sold out and after XBOX360 versions were long gone)!

So my biggest concern right now (also last/only hope) is that if exclusive bonus in-game packs are crossplatform like they were in ME2 (and im not speaking about aleged "From Ashes" DLC, im speaking about stuff like "Collectors' Weapon and Armor" in ME2)!?

It would be great if someone could answer that question...

p.s. I know for someone it might seem trivial at this point but physical goodies are the same on PC/XBOX360 but my main Mass Effect platform is XBOX360 and i want my in-game content there...

 I bought a PC version of the CE of Amazon France. I know the game itself will give me the option of turning everything into English, but what would it mean for the comic and art book? Will it be in French? 

Je suis desole

So...I take that as a 'yes' then. Damn it! Well, at least I can still play the game in English .

[markshaxted]

well the update page says they will announce details about the standard edition with the N7 Warfare pack tomorrow... so I may be cancelling my CE edition, not sure.

If you can't get a CE you can still purchase the actual content that has gameplay, is this correct?

[Brian.V3]

Man, add insult to injury. Game are alienating their biggest games. Mass Effect 3 and even FIFA which I hear is big a big deal over there. Good luck to all those who have to re-pre-order their ME3 especially their N7 editions.

One thing occurs to me as often with Collector's Editions (and I buy a LOT of Collector's Editions). The websites sell out, then on release day (or a few days before) they suddenly become available again. What I suspect is actual numbers allocated are estimates, and there will be an influx of available copies soon. Again this is absolute conjecture on my part, this precise situation is without precedant, but what occurs to me is most people get the edition of the game they want

Bummer for our UK pals. Best of luck to all..

For those of us in Australia, here is an article from Kotaku saying that GAME Australia is still working on securing ME3 copies:

http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/03/game-australia-still-intends-to-stock-mass-effect-3-in-local-stores/

Overseas in Europe, GAME and its sister store Gamestation will no
longer be stocking EA games post SSX, and that includes Mass Effect 3.
But a statement from GAME Australia has claimed that it still intends to
stock Mass Effect 3 in local stores, and is currently in talks with EA
Australia.A release from GAME on its Facebook page stated the following:

In light of the news over in Europe between GAME and EA
around Mass Effect 3, we would like to formally update you on our
position locally. Each territory acts independently and we’re not
compelled to act in the same light as our European counterparts. We’re
in talks with EA here in Australia this morning and our intension [sic]
is, as it has always been, to stock Mass Effect 3 for our customers.

A spokesperson from EA Australia informed us that an official statement would be given shortly.It’s looking extremely unlikely at this stage that Mass Effect 3
won’t be stocked in GAME stores. EA has worked extensively with GAME on
this title locally, investing heavily on in-store marketing. EA also ran
an early access event with GAME in their Parramatta store, bringing
early copies of the game along with members of the Bioware team to
promote the release of the game.Given that each territory is able to act independently, and GAME’s
relationship with EA Australia appears to be solid, Mass Effect 3 will
most likely be available in GAME stores upon release.


I would like to think it'll work out, but now I have two bloody preorders - one from GAME, and one from EB (as result of the GAME UK fiasco).

This is pretty much the kiss of death for GAME. If their finances are so rocky that EA has cut them off at the knees, then things are only going to get worse for them after this. No one is going to trust them with pre-orders from now on.

[Frangleton]

So, I'm pretty sad right now. I pre-ordered my copy of the N7 collectors edition back in early November and I've been super excited about this. I'm in the US right now so I only hear about this not long ago, by which time it looks like all the collectors editions have gone.
I know this isn't Bioware's fault, but is there any way more copies of the Collectors Edition could be made available to unfortunate UK fans like myself and many others who pre-ordered their copy with GAME and now are stuck without one? I know I can still get hold of a standard copy for next Friday, but it just won't be the same :-(

Does this only effect GAME uk or GAME worldwide?

seeing you on launch day.

Guys, blockbuster is still selling PS3 CE - even if it's not your console, I would get it just for physical goods and such (I have a PS3 so I wouldn't mind getting it).

[Whereto]

Thank for confirming that CivicRagnarok and thanks skidbit from preventing me from jumping off a bridge before I got a confirmation

I don't know... I just spoke (ok, ranted) to my partner about this whole sorry saga, and he reckons that if the Europe GAME is going down, it will have an effect on the Australia GAME stores. Be wary of shops who are going broke but claim they are not - it's in their interest to maintain the facade for as long as they can.... Think Starbucks - when the franchise started to downsize in USA, it also had a drastic effect on the presence of Starbucks in Australia.

[Jovian09]

That's what I've done. Shopto.net also stocks PS3 CEs as of five minutes ago.

[Ellest]

Ugh! Amazon had one copy of the Xbox 360 version CE in stock about 15mins ago but when I clicked to buy it was gone. So disappointed.... :'(

[Funkcase]

I just ordered it from HMV, it looks like it's just been put on there as there's no artwork or detail other than ME3 collectors edition and the prices. Quickly go there.

Thanks so much for your info. Been up all night trying to [re]pre-order the CE version. Hopefully we get the Game delivered to us. Hopefully.  

[Funkcase]

You're welcome! I wish there was some info on the page, but HMV are trustworthy and have always done right by me in the past. On the plus side we get a free T-shirt with HMV, lol. I don't really wear clothing from games, but it'll make nice lounge around the house wear.
