Okay, seriously now, Bioware, you're pissing me off.

I have spent extra money, and at this rate, the only truly unique thing I'm getting is the tin. What the hell? First the Cerberus Card, now the Collectors' Equipment which was touted as "EXCLUSIVE to the Collector's Edition of ME2!!!"?

So... while the Cerberus Card wasn't worded in such a way, Collectors' Gear was specifically said to be totally exclusive. What's the excuse now?

This was a problem earlier in the night, last night.



If this has happened again I will go Ape sh*t on Bioware.

Then who am I supposed to blame? EA? Microsoft?

One way or another, I spent an extra 10 bucks (and had to commit to buying from an alternate store than Gamestop, for that matter, as GS ran out of the CE as we all know).

If you paid $10 just for the in-game gear... you're a fool...

Seriously are people really able to download it AGAIN? This was supposed to be fixed.

WTF!



This is ****ing fraudulent. We paid money.

Bioware needs to deal with this crap, I can't deal with MS, I can only deal with Bioware and trust me if this continues they will pay.

Dude...that's not even available for download. They just haven't updated that page yet.



They did, however, say some of the stuff will be available for download for free at launch...not that.

- It's not available for download, either. This was a problem earlier in the wee hour of the morning where hundreds of people were able to download all nine pieces of DLC (pre-order bonuses, Dr. Pepper promotion, etc.) for free regardless of what edition they had.



The excuse is simple and rather pathetic if you ask me: Someone at Microsoft messed up and BioWare doesn't give a damn since they already got your extra $10, or in my case, extra $45. As I've said before, BioWare got our money and made their profit$ to line their now even fatter bank account$. They don't care about false advertising nor do they care if people are rewarded for STEALING and being irresponsible (those who downloaded the CE armour, etc.).

Like you said blame Microsoft, they're handling the data for the 360 version and it is their fault that this mess even started up.

Yes because the seriously INFERIOR xcrax360 has to be first, with everything!



Here's the correct terminology for the less informed, Micro$haft= Miniature Ramrod, starting to understand, yet?

- BioWare needs to be sued for false advertisment.

Oh look....PC gamers crying. Give it a rest....the PC always pirates all the preorder content all the time and nobody whines...look at DAO you get the PC pirate versions of all the preorder and CE in-game items right in the wikia and BioWare isn't running to lock those links or fight piracy in any meaningful way when it gets to preorder and bonus items on PC but now that for ONCE the 360 gets a head start all the PC gamers act like someone shoved a stick up their behinds. Plus the content can no longer be downloaded without codes...so go screw yourselves.

They weren't, kiddo.

It's not available for free to those who don't have the code. You would know this if you checked it out yourself, like I did. An error pop up message comes up to tell you it isn't available for download.

That would be EA my friend.

And, I honestly thought I was paying the extra ten bucks for the art book... -shrugs- That's just me, I never planned to use the Collector's armor.

Don't worry. There will still be a reference to it on the marketplace; there HAS to be in order for you to get/use it at all.

An example is that final fantasy 13 chocobo avatar prop they gave out as a promotion a few months ago. It was free at the time and all you had to do was click a button while logged into live (on the site that is) to get the code emailed to you. That little chocobo is listed in the avatar marketplace but it has a cost of 99999 ms points. Removing that listing would require it be /entirely/ removed from the marketplace and live itself, causing the item to no longer work for the profiles with it.

I think we should sue YOU for false advertisement.



You are not silent, and you clearly have no friends.

For reference, I just got home from a long closing shift at my campus job, and I just googled "Mass Effect 2 DLC" to get an idea of what's coming when I (hopefully) get my package tomorrow/later today.



Clearly, I wasn't able to access XBL at all or anything (roommate's asleep), but I found a blog post excited about the free DLC that 'appeared on XBL earlier today as an apparent mistake' and that one of them was "Collector's Gear, still listed as free". And, obviously, there's an actual Marketplace entry for it that agrees with that claim.
