 Greetings.
The thread is named quite obviously.
I thought of buying it but I can't find it on retail stores close to me. As a side info, I like having game "boxes", even if it's just a DVD box. I also don't like buying second-hand. 
Anyway, here are a bunch of questions.

1) Does ME1 have expansions or any sort of DLC? If so, is there a complete pack version?
2) Does ME1 "box" have anything special? Would I lose a lot if I buy a digital/download version?
3) Are there any known plans of a ME1+ME2 box edition?
4) Are there any known plans of a ME1+ME2 digital edition?
5) Is it possible to buy ME1 with a good deal? I'm not doing good with finances lately, buying Dragon Age was quite expensive in my country, sadly.
6) Is it possible to buy ME2 with a good deal?
7) Preordering ME2, any distinctive advantages?
8) Is pre-ordering digital/box exclusive? Or are there both versions? 
9) Known plans of CE for ME2?
10) What are the possible price ranges for ME1 and ME2?
11) What sort of computer will be needed for ME2?
Or, here is my spec (according to dxdiag)
Processor: AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ (2 CPUs), ~2.6GHz
Memory: 3070MB RAM
Card name: ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series (It's a 4670 with 512 MB ram)
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Using Vista Home Basic.
Any chances?


I haven't really done a true research, but I wanted ask a few questions and thought "heck, I may as well ask'em all". So if some answers can be found easily and obviously, feel free to pass'em, I'll look around.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I live in Turkey, if it helps with any answers. (say, if some site only delivers the box in US or something)

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED.



But I'll try to answer some of these anyways

1) Does ME1 have expansions or any sort of DLC? If so, is there a complete pack version?
They have two downloadable missions. The first was Bringing Down the Sky and the second was Pinnacle Station. I don't nkow if there's a dual pack you can buy. If there was, I'd totally snag it myself.

2) Does ME1 "box" have anything special? Would I lose a lot if I buy a digital/download version?
Nope. You're good with any one you find at a Gamestop or any other used game retailer.

3) Are there any known plans of a ME1+ME2 box edition?
Not that I've heard.

4) Are there any known plans of a ME1+ME2 digital edition?
See last answer.

5)
Is it possible to buy ME1 with a good deal? I'm not doing good with
finances lately, buying Dragon Age was quite expensive in my country,
sadly.
If you go to any used retailer, you should be able to get it for about 10 USD (or whatever that translates to for you.) I think they released a Game of the Year edition for it that's 20 USD. Try looking on Amazon. I'm sure you'll find used ones for a dollar.

6) Is it possible to buy ME2 with a good deal?
As it is right now, the CE is practically a steal!

7) Preordering ME2, any distinctive advantages?
If you preorder through anyone BUT Gamestop, you get the Inferno Armor, which gives you bonuses to your charm/intimidate stuff, I believe. Through Gamestop you get the Terminus gear. If you preordered the Collector's Edition, you will recieve the armor from whoever you ordered it from AND the Collector's Armor. Dragon Age Origins also has an armor you can recieve for ME2.

8) Is pre-ordering digital/box exclusive? Or are there both versions? 
I believe you can find both the digital and the box on preorder.

9) Known plans of CE for ME2?
There is a CE for ME2. But better hurry. Gamestop sold out eons ago, but I'm not sure about retailers like Amazon, etc.

10) What are the possible price ranges for ME1 and ME2?
Anywhere upwards of 5 bucks all the way up to 20 for ME1 and ME2 is 60 dollars for the standard edition, 70 for the collectors.

11) What sort of computer will be needed for ME2?
I dunno. I don't play on PC, but there was a thread for it at the old forums...

Lol, I felt bad for giving him a dumb response since I could answer most of those questions. Edit button was my friend x3.

Where to get various versions of ME2, and probably ME1

I got both of mine on STEAM.

Can you run this game? Click here to find out

[ArathWoeeye]

Thanks for swift answers!
I've checked D2D and Steam... It seems that with my current financial status, ME2 will have to wait. I already got the armor from DA:O anyway and if CE just adds in-game items, I kinda don't mind. I'm more interested in vanity stuff (like mousepad and artbook from wow:wotlk ce).

D2D is cheaper but ME1 isn't available for Turkey :

You did give me a chuckle. I tried to come up with a ".. was merely a setback" answer but failed

Well, not to answer all that stuff, but I'd say try Steam for the digital edition of ME. Darn, I think they had it on sale a while back - you could've gotten it relatively cheaply then (me, I have the boxed version from way back). It's probably still pretty cheap though, but you'll have to check.

[ArathWoeeye]

Yeah, it's at 20 USD.

By the way, does ME have some sort of achivement system or is it integrated to this website as well, profiles etc?

Achievements that give various small bonuses, yes.  Integrated into this website, nope, the website is newer than the game.
