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.

If the N7 Warfare pack remains exclusive, it will probably be Amazon that get it.

Are the other pre-order bonuses available through Play (or any of the other sites) or will the UK players be missing out on those now?

So .. My GAME order is fracked? I would have expected an e-mail from them or something regarding it. Just ordered the N7 edition on play.com to be safe, hopefully they actually have some left in stock and aren't just leaving it listed on the site.

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

Just re-ordered from Play. I dislike Play but hopefully it gets here for release day. Really annoyed now - had my preorder since June!

Hmmm, can't say I'm surprised, but glad I checked the forum. Just pre-ordered with Play.com, but we definitely need clarity from EA about the pre-order bonus content. It would be absurd now to restrict it to a single retailer, but failing to get this information available can't but hurt pre-order sales numbers as customers wait to see what happens. Not what anyone wants a mere week away from launch.

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

Damn it GAME why screw around with your costumers with ME3 basically 1 week away.
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.

OP, could you somehow change the title to something much more alarming and hopefully informative for UK customers? Everyone needs to know that they need to switch their orders right now.

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.

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.
