Current local time in Edmonton, Alberta: 08:12 AM

Now I'm getting reports of more and more people already playing the game legally. And I know I'll have to wait a week and a half at best... this delay is annoying, to put it mildly.


That's why I have switched to SE...although the CE would be nice to have, I'm not going to wait a week for a nice box and some extra content.

The tension is building, there should be someone working at the office now. Maybe we'll get someone's answer in half an hour.

I can't help it, I just want the CE that badly. Oh well, I'll try to sleep most of the time when I'm not browsing the forums.

From another forum:

De Gamemania hier (Kortrijk, België) zegt dat ze de special editions binnen hebben nu woensdag. Spannend! :)

Translated:
"The Game Mania at Kortrijk, Belgium says that they will receive the CE on wednesday."

So confusing, although it would be so awesome that the GM shops in Belgium would receive is this week and the ones in The Netherlands next week :P.


Yesss... very awesome.
Because you wish the delay on anybody? Where did you order your copy? I'm sure it would be no bother to get the store to cancel your order. ¬___¬

That would indeed suck for the persons that will have a delay... but it would be 0-1 for Belgium. It's just a small thing between the dutch people from Belgium and the Netherlands :P, nothing serious or personal.

And guys working at the GM saying they'll receive on wednesday doesn't mean much. They probably read if from their pc and the site stills says the CE is out on the 28th so they probably aren't aware yet that it has been delayed (GM always has been kinda slow).

If so, why countries like Belgium, Holland etc... that do not speak english have not this delay?
And how could it be for countries like Sweden and Finland that never had localization??

Actually most people in Flanders and the Netherlands speak English because those are subtitle regions. We're 'dubbing = only for children' regions just like Sweden and Finland so there's no localization here either.

I think the reason we haven't heard anything from the devs is because they're trying to fix it in time.


I checked my ME1 and the cover + manual is in swedish so atleast for ME1 there was some localization, which is just ludacris since if you can't read the cover you won't understand what's being said in the game.

Edit: I'm also hoping for them to announce that there was a problem and they solved it.
Not likely to happen tho :(

"Bioware: Uh... I think you'd better contact EA for this. We don't do the publishing.

EA: Problem? What problem? The game is all set to release here in the States."



Just kidding, just kidding.

But it sounds like something EA'd say, right?

I sincerely hope we're going to get answers today, otherwise this is going to get out hand with people not knowing what to do.

Well, according to my Game Mania, here in Holland (Leeuwarden), the CE should arrive on the 28th. Which basically means I should be able to get it tomorrow (the GM here usually sells it a day or two earlier than the street date), but as someone else already said, GM is a bit slow sometimes. Let's just hope it arrives on time, although I've got some serious doubts about it. Anyways, if we do get it on time, I do hope the GM in Belgium gets it later haha ;D.

I find it very strange that EA europe hasn't bothered to make any announcement today (nothing on UK site which is the only one to my knowledge with a forum).

There's a topic there about the delay of the CE but no answers.

http://forums.electr...on-delayed.html



They've had all day to make an announcement.

Or do they count the mail some ppl got from their local game store as the announcement?

Much better :P j/k

Anyway, a guy living in Holland mailed FRS today and he got this as an answer:

Van:     Ordercenter (contact@ordercenter.nl)
Verzonden:     maandag 25 januari 2010 15:33:25


Beste klant,
Onze releasedatum is vooralsnog 28-01-2010.

Hopende u hiermee voldoende te hebben geinformeerd.

Met vriendelijke groet,
Free Record Shop

Translated:
FRS says they releasedate still is the 28th.

But earlier today this was posted:

BjorntjuNL wrote...

Ok... I called FRS. And i have bad
news. They did get an message from EA games that the game is delayed.
He said that EA would try to get the CE's out on the release date. But
i dont really think that would happen. I then asked how long it should
take when i get my copy. He thougt that if it is delayed i would
probarly get it on Tuesday - Wednesday. But they didn't get an release
date. However he said that if the game hasn't shipped i can call back
Friday if they have more information. However i am almost sure that it
is delayed and i get it around Wednesday. Oh well... I am not canceling
it now and just wait the extra week. And maybe i already have it next
Tuesday. That can be possible as some shops who said it would be
delayed get it on the 2'th and other shops get it on the 4'th. So i
think the CE is delayed in the whole of Europe. Sorry folks. But i am
not happy about it either.

Why bother with explanation? Seriously, EA taking blame for their mistake? That won´t happen. And than they wonder how is possible that they are hitting the records in popularity.

This is getting confusing.. I send a mail to Free Record Shop (Netherlands) to ask them about the delay and the reply was as followed:

Beste klant,

Van onze leverancier hebben wij vernomen
dat wij dit artikel vooralsnog tijdig kunnen verzenden. Betekent dat u dit
artikel donderdag of vrijdag ontvangt.

We hopen u hiermee voldoende te hebben
geïnformeerd.

Met vriendelijke groet,
Free Record Shop


It basically says that their supplier told them that they will be able to distribute the product in time, which will be either Thursday of Friday.

This is contradicting with what BjorntjuNL has posted in this same thread about there being a delay. So either the person who send me a reply misunderstood that I was talking about the C.E. (which I clearly stated) or they recently had contact with the supplier and it was confirmed they will get the product in time...
So.. confusing.. :blink:

I've got an EA master account, apparently I can log in at EA UK as well, so I'll send that guy a message.

Yeah, I know. It brings my ****** to a boil! If only I knew what to expect. If they said ''ok, its going to be tuesday next week, sorry man'' I would accept that, but not knowing is so annoying. That's why I generally steer clear of shops like FRS and buy things via Steam. But I wanted the physical goodies of the CE this time, not some PDF file with the art.

That is exactly why i won't bother registering at EA, but if someone is willing to try, they are more than welcome :)

If you live in the UK, I don't think there's any need to worry. I've just received an email from GAME stating that my preorder of Mass Effect 2 Collector's Edition is now being processed.

I'm starting to think it's conspiracy to confuse all the loyal ME fans! But why?! I'm going to burn my CE in protest once I get it! Then again. That'd be a waste huh?
