Ok i must say i am realy annoyed now, today they told my shop they won't get any pc ce so i who ordered more then 5 months ago get nothing, as it is not availible anyware this sucks it should not be possible and bad.


Which shop is this?

And I agree. EA handled this very badly and these supply issues are unacceptable. Pre-orders should ALWAYS be met.

So far I've heard the best stories from people ordering at mycom.nl :?
They started delivering in the netherlands on tuesday already. Perhaps you want to try that to get a copy as soon as possible.

Just quickly checked Mycom.nl and it looks as though they only have the Xbox360 and PC regular editions in stock.

It's not ea's fault though.if you pre-order or just order a game.and that shop tells you they have it.and then all of a sudden they don't have it anymore.then it's their fault for not ordering enough copy's.

mine was nedgame Groningen they didn't get any pc and gamesmania only got one and that was ordered.

Perhaps it is because here you don't have to pay anything unlike some countries where you have to pay before you have the game. Intertoys accepted my request for collectors edition, but i am not sure when i will get it. Might be friday might be next week.

I think it's partly the fault of both the stores and EA, depending on the case. The stores place big orders of how many units they want at the publisher (EA in this case) and these orders are based on how many pre-orders they have and how many more they expect. Now, there is a chance that they miscalculated and ordered too few CEs. However, from what I am hearing it appears that some stores DID order but just never got their copies (or received too few, or none of a certain platform), which means the ball is in EA's court.

Mediamarkt, for instance, doesn't appear to have ANY CEs. NEDgame appears to only have the Xbox360 and possibly the PS3 version of the CE, but not the PC version. I am quite sure that they did order these but simply did not receive them (in large enough quantity, or at all) and that's EA's responsibility. However, 12game either did not receive the game in large enough quanity, OR they did not order enough copies. There is a chance that 12game are responsible there.

Yeah, from what we hear NEDgame didn't receive any PC CE copies AT ALL. Only console copies.

I hope Intertoys works out for you!

I'm sure it's entirely unrelated to EA pushing Origin - it's not like those people will miss out - they can just open Origin, which they need to install anyway, and download it! Simples

Of course, then theyll have to wait for the release date check after all. :P

And yeah, I'm quite sure this will probably have pushed a lot of people towards Origin. EA is probably quite pleased. :P

I think Origin only has the Digital Deluxe version?

And eventually you WILL have to use Origin... you can't play the game without it after all :P

I do love the attention the Bioware guys are giving this.Image IPB

Somebody whines about the game, they're there either locking the thread or commenting. This seems a lot more serious and I haven't seen a Bioware tag added to this thread.

For me it's not a problem, my Digital Delux Edition will unlock after midnight and PostNL will deliver my N7 Collector's edition tomorrow. But for the rest of you guys , I hope that some Bioware person will look into the problem and at least gives an explanation about how it happened.

I think that logistics like this are taken care of by EA and not Bioware.

Anyway, these 2 days we might stress the hell out, but as soon as we get our hands on a copy of ME3 we'll all be singing of joy and all will be forgiven and forgotten.

hmm it seems that ea says that people have to ask their games shops and if they didn't get it they either ordered too late or have to ask their distibuter. :(

Yes and EA owns Bioware. So they probably have better inroads into that company and could get an explanation  faster  and it would be more complete. Just sayin'Image IPB

Yorcom.nl has sent my CE today, so I'll receive it tomorrow if I'm lucky. I didn't place that order until I read this topic, an they're are the first to actually ship my copy.

No word from Bol.com, while they usually ship early. Weird.

I'm not really expecting anything to be honest. So far EA seem to be saying it's the fault of the stores, and not them, so it's unlikely they'll be giving any statements here. From what Hirdas told me, EA basically says the shops ordered their units too late.


As for Bol.com.... yes, their cancel buttons are WAY TOO PRESENT. I don't dare visit the order status page anymore. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/tongue.png[/smilie]


@Forsythia: I'm assuming we'll be notified sometime today or perhaps tonight. We've been getting positive messages from Bol.com, one in particular stating that the PC CE has arrived and will be sent out tonight around 1AM if I remember correctly. E-mails will likely be sent around that time as well.

Yorcom.nl appear to have CEs in stock for PS3 and Xbox360. No CE for PC as far as I can see on their webshop.
