For once a shield that I actually like the look of. Thanks BioWare!

Come on people, why would you care about those pointless region checks? There are so many free US-based proxies out there.

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?

Alienware paid for the bonus item. Alienware makes gaming PCs. They do not make consoles, so why would they want to do a promo bonus item for console owners?  Complain to Sony or MS for being too cheap to do the same.

[Kurokenshi]

Yay another promo I can't get! Awesome sauce!

[zidane21]

Thanks for sharing the info, I got mine!

Someone has already put the dazip file of this shield onto the internet. You could check for the following link:

Any particular reason to keep having items exclusive to the PC? I mean besides the fact that the platform just can't sell so you are trying desperately to provide incentives that you think might make console gamers invest in a buggy and nearly unplayable version of the game? I get that there is no shelf space for a platform that nearly nobody wants to play games on anymore but restricting content in the hopes that collectors will waste money on not only buying an extra copy of the game but to waste money on a bug ridden version is ridiculous.

At this point the extra PC sales the extra items are likely to squeeze are minor to nonexistsnt in number but you are sure managing to dance on the nerves of the fans.

Cry more dude, Alienware payed for it so if they decide to have it for PC owners only, guess what, it isn't your place to whine.

Didn't the PC version outsell the PS3/Xbox versions by quite a fair number?  Could have sworn such was the case.  Not to mention that PCs are the only version capable of using and interacting with the toolset itself and supported modding of the game... *shrugs*

On topic however, it -is- unfair that such things as this are limited by region.  The only reason I can think of is that North America is simply Alienware's targeted demographic.  They're trying to entice people who'll potentially buy new PCs to look at their site/product, while at the same time trying to cut back on the extra site traffic from places they either don't ship to or aren't worried about sales at.  That being said, it's North America in general, not USA specific, so any folks in Canada and Mexico can still get it as well at least.

I just picked up this shield from the alienware arena site, & I have to say, this shield is awesome beyond belief! goes well with my starfang to boot!

EA/Bioware can suck my dick.

[CultKiller]

While I am grateful I live in the US and have the PC version, I can sympathize with the rest of you, having recently switched from ps3 version because ps3 users seem to get the shaft most of all. However, Bioware/EA does not make the decision on the distribution of such a promotion. Also quit hating on us North American residents. Its not our fault Alienware only caters to pc users and <as far as I know> gets the biggest success in their marketing distributing to north america. Blame Alienware for not seeing a golden opportunity to reach out and gain customers from other parts of the world!

Thanks for the tip w4rm0ng3r

Considering EA and Bioware are both based out of North America, I see no problem with them deciding who gets what promos.

Bioware is still Canadian last I checked....

[Moonamber]

Isn't alienware also available in the UK for instance through dell- how is it related to the US alienware and why can't other franchises for it also have access to it aswell?



Get really fed up with this sort of thing- it's bad enough on dvd releases but gaming releases is even worse when there is no excuse for it.

If your going to do something for your fans...do it for all of them or none.
