Who's got the best pre-order deal? I might pick up a pre-order by the end of the month.

Newegg has it for $48 today, but I haven't looked into who is giving what for pre-order bonuses.

I'm busy with SW:TOR so I'm planning to wait.

Amazon's not the best price-wise, but it's a reliable download so no worries about shipping or stock. Worth an extra few $$ to me.

They also give you the key...so just purchase, and either dl it from their fat pipes, or through Origin (which I actually always have an amazing connection to).


And yeah, ordered a while ago :D

The only pre-order bonus I'm seeing is a fancy assault rifle, seems to be universal. You can shell out $80 and get some DLC/fan stuff, but it's overpriced IMO (unless the DLC is phenomenal) so I went with the standard. Besides, there's no DLC they won't make public eventually. This is EA we're talking about. :p

I don't see any need to. I've barely even touched games like Skyrim, The Witcher 2, and Fallout 3:NV.

Risen 2 might be the only game I'll preorder in a really long time, and that's only to support PB.

I wasn't happy with 2, loved one. Still not sure about this one. Probably going to wait for a Steam sale.

I have had the collectors edition on pre-order since it was announced.

Oddly enough, when I go to Amazon now, it says the CE edition is not available for PC and only for PS3, yet it says I have it pre-ordered for PC. Strange.

Could be they sold out their allotment of CE for the PC and 360. I also pre-ordered the CE from Amazon.

I'll buy it but I won't pre-order, too many games to play lately and not enough time to do so, not to mention that I want (not "need" to) re-play ME1 and ME2 before touching ME3. I don't think I'll buy it before the end of March, if not later in April. The difficult part will be to avoid spoilers popping up everywhere on the web after its release, especially on discussion forums with thread titles screwing up many people's day, I'll be careful.

Busy with SWTOR and many other games right now. I don't know - I just don't feel like throwing ~$50 at another game only to be done with it in a week or less.

I'm definitely thinking about it. I'm looking at all the different pre-order bonuses. Mass Effect is probably my favorite new series of this generation of games.
