Mass Effect 3

[Neovingian]

Can't wait for this demo, 19 days away, can't get here fast enough....Easily the most anticipated game of the year for me. I'm hoping they offer bonus perks for ported characters for both ME games, got my Levl. 60 sheppard from ME1 carried over to ME2 and maxxed that out with my squad all alive.

Yeah, make it +2! I've got both my Paragon and Renegade Shepards ready to transfer in, all the way from ME1...

[nippleholic]

never played ME1 and deleted my ME2 files to make room for other games...bah.

Don't know why but in ME1 I never bothered doing both a pargon + renegade profile, was too afraid my sheppard my turn soft if he went to the good side, so I made him renegade in 1st play + renegade again, lol!. also did 100% renegade on ME2, not a drop of paragon in either game...hopefully I get a reward for this in ME3, still no word on what the bonuses will be for ported game saves, most likely multiplayer GAW bonuses or weapon upgrades.

I've already booked time off for this game....

It seems the preorder bonuses have been revealed, and seems to be a bit of confusion in terms of what retailers are offering what and if bonuses will be available as DLC:

There 3 pre order bonuses so far:
Origin - N7 Defender Armor, N7 Valkyrie Assault Rifle, and M55 Argus Assault Rifle + AT12 Raider Shotgun
Gamestop - N7 Defender Armor, N7 Valkyrie Assault Rifle, and M55 Argus Assault Rifle
Bestbuy - unknown yet, rumored its only M55 Argus Assault Rifle
EA and BioWare announced today the pre-order bonus for Mass Effect 3, pre-ordering ME3 gets you the "N7 Warfare Gear" bundle: one suit of armor and two assault rifles.

The standard "N7 Warfare Gear" pre-order pack includes the N7 Defender Armor, N7 Valkyrie Assault Rifle, and M55 Argus Assault Rifle. Meanwhile, EA is offering an additional item -- the AT12 Raider Shotgun -- exclusively through Origin. Given how DLC works these days, one might assume this will end up as paid content later.

Not certain what BB or FS will be offering, traditionally EB/Gamestop have typically had the better bonuses.

ive got the CE preordered at GS, so I have the N7 Arsenal Pack, the N7 pre order bonus, and the M55 argus rifle....i hope that somehow I can get the At12 raider (through bestbuy/FS?) just for completion sake...BB/FS better have something at least since i have a pre order of the standard edition there...hopefull I can use whatever preorder bonus I get there to get the AT12 raider

4 new trailers (spoilers duh)

decision, decision. i have the CE pre-ordered at amazon but i won't have time to really play it until this holidays. should i cancel and wait until then to buy, the regular game will be cheaper and whatever day 1 DLC will be available to all or just buy it outright at full price?

Absolutley DO NOT cancel the CE preorder as you may not be able to get it again during the holidays or ever + it wil include limited CE DLC that you cna't get anywhere else, if anything the game has built up a lot of hype and may increase in value. US retailers have already reported that the are sold out of pre-orders for al 3 versions and some die hard fans are buying all 3 versions. If its anything like the CE of ME1 and 2 they will be difficult to find and both editions have either gone up or retained their value well.

Are y'all ready, the ME 3 Demo out in 3 days....

[the_fm]

true. thing is i only care about the bonus character and mission which should be available down the road (or as a day 1) DLC. i personally don't care about the physical material things

[adeel]

your better off keeping your CE preorder, and then selling off any parts or extra content you dont want to keep on ebay

Is any retailer still accepting preorders for the collectors edition? Called EB Games and they're not anymore. TBH, I'm mostly in it for the extra content rather than the material things.
