so anyone recieved their pre order codes for origin yet? or is it included in the game files already?


Apparently it's all included, in Orgin we can see under game description the DLC, books, OST and N7 Digital Deluxe items.


I see all of these things, but none of those are the pre-order items (shotgun and Argus). My "registered content" page on BSN  shows: Chakram Launcher, Knight Reckoner Armor, soundtrack, From Ashes, and online pass.



Origin will send a email with codes inside once your country has started the ME3 lanuch

Its standard that way, don't worry. Maybe it will change during tomorrow or when you actually play it.


I'm not worried, just pointing out the list of stuff does not include preorder items.

Funny, I spoke to them as well. They said they would unlock automatically on the release date.

Let's hope this works. Does anyone know what will happen should I run the authentication process again with the VPN turned off before it's released in 2 hours? Will it reset and will I have to do the VPN stuff again?

Pretty much if you have the VPN on before starting verification, it will work. If you don't, it won't ─ simply as that. It should be noted that you should turn off your VPN after a failed verification, it will flag the IP and you'll have to choose a new one.

So in the (obviously failed) authentication it said that I will be able to play at 16:00 (about two hours from now). When I will start the game at 16:01, will I have to use the vpn again? Or was trying once to authenticate two hours ago enough? I'm asking this since I'm not sure whether it's smart to keep trying to authenticate and I don't know what will happen if I try it multiple times.

Yes, you will have to use the VPN again when you go to unlock it in a few hours. When it says "Unlock complete" (or something along those lines), you can take off the VPN and enjoy Mass Effect 3.

Wonder if it is considered a hack? No change in Origin, none in ME3, but it could get you banned i think.

bit of a grey area I think, they get their monies anyway so I don't know why it should matter, particularly for digital copies of the game. A bit pointless not releasing it everywhere on the same date for digital.

I did not read all 10 pages before posting this only the first one. If someone brings up Skyrim its invalid. Skyrim was released worldwide because 11-11-11 is on a Friday. That means it can be released in Europe, and the US and im not sure about Asia

If I remember correcty, as soon as you activate your game and the release date is passed, you'll get an email fairly shortly afterwords containing DLC codes, at least, that's how Dragon Age 2 worked, iirc.

as far as i know, some of my old armors and weapons will import to ME3, so the preorder-content doesnt matter for me

ME3 launches in Asia in 90 minutes, I'm definitely unlocking my game, EA already got my money, it's not going to hurt them whether I play today or in 2 days because I live in Europe.

The DLCs should be tied to your account, not your IP Address, so no reason you shouldn't get all your preorder stuff.

That's the only thing I'm concerned about. The UK gets every bonus for pre-ordering from Origin, so I'm hoping I'll recieve all my items.
