If so that really sucks. I want to buy the game from direct2drive since I prefer being able to play the game without a disk so does anyone know if these pre-order bonuses will be obtainable as DLC?
So the only way to get the Terminus armor is by pre-ordering at gamestop?

We expect that this stuff will all be released as DLC.
Eventually.

the general consensus that I've seen around these boards is that all the pre-order armors will most likely be offered as DLC at some point. The only exception is the collectors edition armor (Collector Armor). I think that will remain a CE bonus, and not be offered as a seperate DLC.
Again, this is all speculation, but I think it's what most people will tell you.

There's also Ebay if it doesn't get released as DLC. Although something tells me there's going to be a lot of greedy bastards in Ebay probably charging $60 for one armor. Ugh why didn't BioWare just give us all items for preordering anyways,

So they could get retailers to bid against each other for better pre-order bonuses.

hmm, i don't expect the gamestop content to be dlc. i know a lot of people think it will be. my belief is that EA had to make a deal with gamestop for the terminus gear. my guess is that deal will prevent that content being dlc.
just my guess
just my guess

I know, I would've preferred if I had everything though. Yes I like to have everything. But why am I complaining anyways. I didn't like Terminus a lot and I'm going to use the Collector's armor so yeah.

Hope so, as here in the uk you could only get the CE at game but they had no preorder bonus.

Yes, you will only get it if you pre-order from Gamestop.
No, it won't be released as DLC at any point. (None of the armours will be)
No, you don't need the armours to enjoy the experience, and I'd be willing to bet that their overpoweredness is directly proportional to their exclusivity.
Also, Here's why Gamestop has the Terminus armour (atleast from my perspective: They're ****ing pissed at EA/Bioware over discouraging second hand sales. Stone Prisoner/ME2 DLC (stuff you get with cerberus card) are both free to players who buy the game new, discouraging people from buying the game second hand and the act of registering an account here encourages players not to trade-in their game right when they finish it. That's why they have to give Gamestop some big exclusive, otherwise Gamestop would just be like "Okay, we're just not going to carry the game" and EA/Bio lose out on a huge chunk of their potential market.

Er... that might be half right.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that Gamestop would basically boycott a AAA title that is certain to be in the running for Game of the Year just because they are afraid their second-sale market might take a hit because of Bioware's actions. In truth, Gamestop will share in the profits EA gets due to people buying a new (instead of used) game. Their profit off of used games is tiny compared to what they would get as being one of the bigger sellers of ME2.
Now, they might have used their used game market numbers to convince Bioware to let them have one of the better free equipment sets. But even with that, I suspect that Gamestop *paid* Bioware for the privilege. Notice that the advertisements for the Terminus/Blackstorm gear were for Gamestop, not ME2.

As of right now it seems that I'll be getting an extra Terminus armor and Blackstorm gun code. I'd be game for trading it for an Inferno armor if someone wanted to do an exchange.

You know we're talking about a multi-billion dollar industry of used-game sales right?
They (gamestop et. al.) would always carry a potential game of the year title though.

I have a redeem code for the Inferno Armor and the Terminus Weapen and Armor.
I'd like to trade both of them for the Recon Hood, Sentry Interface and the Umbra Visor. (Dr.pepper codes)
*Note: I have both codes, but do not no which one is the Inferno Armor and the Terminus Weapen and Armor.. That's why I like to trade them both for the Dr. Pepper codes. Simply because I can't get these codes in the Netherlands

No.. in Europe you can't get it from GameStop (in certain countries) but atleast from play.com (online store) you can, even now, in fact I've bought ME2 for Xbox 360 for my brother and they've mailed also the code for the Terminus Armor and Weapon for his one.
