You have got to be kidding me, another sweet bonus for PC users? Dont get me wrong, I'm glad they get bonuses but what about us console users? Should'nt everyone get something sweet?


 Edit.  Same goes for users outside of North America, I would say they should get something sweet as well.

I'm sure someone will figure out a way, like they did with the ME2 Dr Pepper promotional "USA Only" items... but these things should be global, or at least in the countries they sell the games in!

Hmm well I am a pc fanboy....but will agree Grim, its not fair at all.

  I completely understand being a PC fanboy, if my bad ass Gateway PC (Sarcasm, Gatway sucks nowadays) was'nt falling apart I'd be playing Dragon Age on it as well.

Why they must insist on these regional restrictions? I wonder if I can just use a proxy.

what are you talking about man?  the broken version of DA:O us console gamers got is pretty "sweet" i think...

Thanks for posting this its always nice to see some bonus content.

[Darth Wraith]

Looks nice, but unfortunately I live in Norway. Ah well.

[NaimaRamirez]

No shield for the rest of the gamers outside of small part of the world labelled "North America"?
Bummer. 

[Shadesofsiknas]

Absolute Barry White if you ask me. Im outside North America and Id love to get my hands on this.

[Legonian]

I'm from Brazil and I just got the Shields. I even used "Brazil" on the country dropbox during registration. Of course I'm using an US IP (I'm at work). My suggestion is: register and if you can't get the shield, just get an US VPN. There are a lot that offers free trials.



Apart from that I agree with all that was said here: The US always get the extra stuff. I can understand that with physical copies but we are talking about digital distribution here! Don't make any sense to restricti the content based on geography...

I like you Victor, and love Bioware,....but the RoW get shafted again? Makes me wonder how anything ever gets done/lives/survives outside of the might of the not good ol USA!

I willa ssume this is yet another example of how EA operates....not good, your upsetting a lot of the people who buy your product and keep you in business.

what's with the usa hate? i don't trash where you live. i find it funny that your first instinct is to go after the us and the developer isn't even headquartered in the us.

North America can't  be resume to the only USA, you're not alone in this part of the world.
Again, I will say it's not a fair way to use such a promotion.Il looks like a business descrimination

Thanks for the bonus content, I hope more are on there way.

it's just an item... all pc users can start their toolset and create their very own exclusive gear. i don't care for such "nonsense"

I wonder why this giveaway is not available outside North America. Do they need to obtain special permission before they can release freebies abroad? I feel bad that it isn't available to all.

[RuinerGaming]

Oh whoop-de-doo, rest of the world gets shafted again. Looks like i have to troll people from NA that has it.

Would any аmerican be so helpful to create an extra acc on Alienware and send me PM with key...

It got me a key, I'm going to see if I can get it in-game now.
EDIT : yes, it downloaded, but it requires 1.03

 I'm not sure how the process works or how the Alienware site can tell what version of the game I have (currently XBOX)  but I would be willing to give it a try for you.

 It's free so I doubt they would get pissed if I tried to pass my freebie on to you. Might be like the Dr. Pepper thing though and auto-synch with my account here, not sure.

people outside the US seem to forget that most european countries have these god awful loopy laws that prevent certian giveaways or lotteries. like i think switzerland or somthing has one that if you dont want the item there has to be monetary compensation ready.

really its just plain old easier to make one for the US than having to jump through laws.

I don't think the choice was Bioware's.  Usually companies like Alienware pay money to Bioware to offer special promotions in order to generate a mailing list of gaming customers.  

Alienware will in turn use this list to solicit the people who download the content.  So, if you're going to wag your finger at a company it might behoove you to do it at the appropriate one.
