Please note, I bought the Xbox: 360 version of Mass Effect 3. And as an owner of that specific product licence, I'm entitled to post such a thread on this forum.

I wold like to know why users of BioWare Social Network  (myself included) are no-longer allowed to post on existing fourms? Under the new terms of agreement: User(s) of BioWare/EA Social Network MUST have proof of product onwership, registered to their BioWare/EA Social Network account, in-order to be allowed access.

Having said that, without proof of ownership, to a specific product, users are no-longer allowed to make post(s) on specific threads.

Again, I bought a physical copy of Mass Effect 3, and now I have varfi proff of purchas, so that I may be allowed to post on Mass Effect 3 related threads? Why? :(

Just register your copy on to BSN. How hard is that?

Very, apparently.

In my case, at least, my BSN and Xbox Live use different EA accounts and because of an oversight/error in the creation of the Xbox Live one, I can not have my gamertag and other information transferred to the one that uses BSN.

What if I don't what to register to EA's ORIGIN? I signed up to BioWare Social Network before the new updated terms of use stating you must register in-order to post threads, repleies etc. This has never been an issue, untill BSN users stated having opinions that no-longer promoted EA's actions.

Meh. I don't mind sections limited to owners but I find it odd there's no spoilers section for people who rented the game, or borrowed it, and want to talk about it without censoring spoilers.

An excellent point! It seems Users of BSN now have to register a new copy(s), so, buying used is no-longer an option, unless the previous owner did not register his/her product. An idea for EA, open up a store where you can buy registration codes for users who buy used games, and charge ten dollars for them?

Just like "Online Passes", only this new "Veriffication of Registration" allows you the wonderfull acces of POSTING! This new feature only costs Ten dollars!

I might be a dummy or something but I have been having trouble doing that.  Whenever I try to register ME 3, it tells me that my account here is not connected to the one that has Mass Effect 3.  The thing is, I do not have any other BSN accounts that I know of.  What did I do wrong and is this fixable?

I PM'd Chris about this earlier. They can't do anything about it. I live in a rural area and have to bring my console to a friends house to do anything online since my internet provider doesn't support Live. He's out of state at the moment, so there's nothing more I can do.

I really don't see the issue. Either you need tech support which requires a game to begin with or you want to post something about spoilers or tactics in the game where you would again need the game to offer any insightful advice.
