Just to confirm, EA have updated their page here.

At the time of me writing this, customers who have pre-ordered through the retailers mentioned below WILL receive the N7 Warfare pack.

    Zavvi.com

    Play.com

    Thehut.com

This list may be expanded on throughout the day as this is worked on.

Updates to come as they happen.

it looks as tho N7 warfare is only available at 3 places Play, Zavvi and The Hut

Right, the page says this:


"Customers who pre-ordered the Mass Effect 3 Standard Edition, and are expecting the N7 Warfare Gear in-game weapons pack, please re-order your copy through the following retailers:
Standard Edition. What about CE?!

 

Well I Pre Ordered CE thru Play and that Has the warfare pack so i assume that goes for the other 2 as well.

More to the point, if you pre-ordered the Mass Effect 3 Standard Edition, reorder it at those three for the Warfare Gear. Fine. But if you pre-ordered the CE, and you've already reordered it at Amazon, what then? Any chance more retailers than those three will have it, for CE only?

I would tweet that to that UK co-ordinator person, but I'm not registering on Twitter just to ask that question :P

Damnit, I ordered my CE last year from Game, I've been at work since yesterday where I got the e-mail saying they are no longer going to stock it, I go to purchase another CE and everywhere is sold out of the PC CE.

I just wanted the art book to be honest, the digital copy really doesn't interest me :(

It has nothing to do with that, people who are now pre ordering the N7 are mostly (if not all) people who have been shafted by game/gamestaion, so it would make sence to make these people the priority for the content they were expecting to get in the first place. I think it's great that people with the SE are getting some extras for free but the people that have been effected by the game/gamestaion debacle should be first in line. 


If that (section in bold) were true, we wouldn't have so many people like me without a new CE(PC) pre-order.

In reality the e-bay vultures have probably picked up a significant amount of the supply.

One thing that may interest a few ppl

"If you own a French, German or Italian copy of #ME3 but want to experience the game in English you'll be able to download it free on XBL!"

I really hope this is the case and that it applies to all CE of the game regardless of retailer.

Remember that CE owners will already be getting a wealth of DLC, including the N7 Arsenal pack which has N7 Versions of SMG, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle and Pistol, along with skins and physical paraphernalia. The Warfare Pack only has an additional suit of armour and assault rifle. I think we can wait to see if we'll get these or not, the poor peons who only ordered the SE are getting bugger all, so let EA make sure they have their trinkets first before looking at us.


It has nothing to do with that, people who are now pre ordering the N7 are mostly (if not all) people who have been shafted by game/gamestaion, so it would make sence to make these people the priority for the content they were expecting to get in the first place. I think it's great that people with the SE are getting some extras for free but the people that have been effected by the game/gamestaion debacle should be first in line. 


Actually it has everything to do with this. Remember, GAME didn't only have the exclusivity for the N7 CE, it also had exclusivity to the pre-order bonus. More people will have pre-ordered the SE from game than Pre-ordered the CE from game, therefore my point stands. Technically you helped me make it, as there are more SE pre-orders who are shafted by game than N7. True, all 100% of the N7 Pre-orders are effected, but that doesn't mean there are more of us.

Also, bear in mind that I never said that N7CE shouldn't get it, I know that I want it myself and am waiting to find out if I shall, I just said that lets wait and see if EA only cater to SE people, or if they are merely catering to them before us. 

Also, I'd like to point out that, as much as I am not the biggest fan of EA's methods, they are currently trying to correct a mistake that lies wholly at the feet of GAME. If GAME weren't certain that they'd be able to come up with the financial packing to get credit from EA, they should never have reserved exclusivity.

Zavvi have more info on pre-order bonus  blog.zavvi.com/games/breaking-news-get-even-more-free-dlc-when-you-pre-order-mass-effect-3-at-zavvi/   .

It’s now just eight days away from release – not that we’re counting or anything – and today we’re very pleased to announce that when you pre-order your copy of Mass Effect 3 at zavvi.com, you’ll receive some (just announced) free DLC. In addition to the Argus M55 Rifle DLC which was announced earlier this year, you’ll now also receive the N7 Warfare Gear pack, which includes new armour and a new firearm…

Take Earth back with the exclusive N7 Warfare Gear, which includes the N7 Defender Armour, N7 Valkyrie Assault Rifle. Shrug off enemy fire with the N7 Defender Armour and its amplified shields then drop the opposition with high calibre fire from the N7 Valkyrie Assault Rifle.

N7 Rifle: Deliver two rounds per shot with deadly accuracy. Stop the opposition dead in their tracks with superior high calibre rounds.

N7 Defender Armour: Improved shields and health. Survive even the most punishing of battles and withstand sustained enemy fire.

just before my conversation via live chat to amazon ended this is what the guy had to say:

Ramvikas:Well, Our product group updates the pre -order promotions with information from the manufacturer and that is all I can say about the promotion .14:50:04.


does that mean that we are relying on ea to send amazon information about preorder bonuses.

So will Zavvi be giving the N7 Warfare Pack & the M-55 Argus Rifle? They only have the N7 Warfare Pack on their CE pages.

I dunno abt nz region stuff but judging from this link (http://uk.gamespot.c.../topic/25708402) and Googling it (to a small extent), it seems all are region free (apart from servers mayb so that might be a downer) but I dont like the French one cos the media, box wrtiing etc will be in another language.

can I make an observation - and I'll put this in as simple English as possible.....

EA created X amount of CE's, for arguments sake, we'll say that they made 3482 (why not)

all 3482 were allocated to game, who also had allocations of the N7 Warfare pack. They had 3482 + however many pre orders they got for the standard edition.

Now they won't be stocking the game, the N7 warfare pack has to be given to some other retailers, they will be including it in all standard copies of the game as a pre order exclusive. This is clearly explained in the press release.

Right.... now back to those 3482 CEs..... they ALL had the N7 warfare pack - they had this when they were with game. Logic would dictate that now these 3482 copies have been split up among the various retailers, every single one will come with the already allocated DLC. This is common sesnse, what isn't common sense is who would give away the N7 warfare pack with the SE. THIS needed to be clarified. They have clarified this.

Remember, the GAME debacle didn't just affect people who wanted the CE - it affected people who wanted the standard edition with warfare pack - EA has to look out for THOSE guys too.

They couldn't have put it in clearer English.

BUT if it makes you feel better getting an actual thumbs up on this from EA, then please keep quoting this post to keep it alive. Lets not all get hysterical.
