How exactly is this EA/Bioware's fault? Alternative retailers were available as soon as Game Group cocked up. I fail to see how they're at fault.
I dont blame Bioware. But I think they were very naive. Its been known for close to a year that Game have been in financial difficulty and that this has continued to escalate to higher and higher levels.
Game being exclussive retailers meant they must have offered Bioware/EA and incentive to be the sole proprietors of the CE. The fact they blindly accepted this is a bit suprising. Fair enough a year ago things wernt as bad as they have become. But now a week before release this is suddenly announced. Sorry but thats far too tight and EA/Bioware should have had more foresight into the possibility this could (and has) happened.

I just got my confirmation that GAME will not be delivering my copy of ME3, that sucks now I have to go to another place and buy it. I wish EA told us who will get the warfare pack so that I could pre-order from them. I am very disappointed in GAME.
IT not ea problem they ahve no idea this would happen

I believe it's only right that all UK customers who have pre ordered the game are given the N7 warfare pack by Bioware/EA as a goodwil gesture, if no other retailers are offering it.
Indeed, this should be a goodwill gesture on EA/Bioware's part - hoping this will be the case but unlikely, unfortunately

Play still list the CE as available across all platforms.
Thank God I accidentally hit the favourite link to the forums today, I've been avoiding the site for the last 2 weeks! I normally just lurk but this is a disgrace and should be addresed. I've had a pre-order since announcement and would have been blissfully unaware until my order didn't show up!
I second this idea. Although i think it should only be with those who preordered through game. After all, its only them that are being affected directly.

I have amazon prime.... I could really do with them updating the site soon !...
Damn you Game... I knew this was going to happen....
I wouldn't wait if I were you. I'd go with shop.to or play.com.
I highly recommend shop.to they guarantee delivery for release day and it's free delivery.
I'm thinking order with Play, then if Amazon comes up, cancel with play and then give a shout out on here, in case the CEs sell out quick on play, that there's two more opened up to purchase

Looks like I need to get my £5 deposit back.
Hopefully the N7 Warfare Gear is available elsewhere....
Thanks OP for bring this information to us gamers; I hope I can still get the N7 collector’s edition.

I feel for everyone who had a preorder that they thought was safe as houses, only to find out now that they're knee deep in doo doo. A week before release, with the CE's only available through one retailer. Yeah, really thought that one through huh EA.
Now the water's been chummed and every tom dick n harry will be grabbing CE's likely those same CE's that some poor bloke thought they had with GAME.

Looks like I'll be preordering from Zavvi and cancelling my GAMe preorder then.
Zavvi have been known to deliver preorders the day before release too. Overall, Play and Amazon usually take the longest, but Amazon is most likely to get the Warfare pack if it remains exclusive.
