The uber edition following BioWare's forums is an ultra limited edition they were thinking of releasing, yet to be confirmed. They were thinking of adding a replica of the Normandy, among other exclusive items.

The uber edition I think is just speculation. There was a forum post from BioWare entertaining the idea of a edition for the hardest of hard core collectors: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/103/index/4589520/1
The comparison was to MW2 prestige edition... pointing out the cool functional night vision goggles. That leads me to think that the 'uber' part of the name is for the price and not necessarily the quantity available.

Has anyone seen or heard anything more about this edition, or any other more expensive edition?

I've pre-ordered this edition at GAME just in case no other edition is announced. I also believe that this CE is exclusive to the GAME group here in the UK, as I haven't spotted it on any of the other retailer's sites

I also spotted this helpful promo image:

I have this on preorder from GAME as soon as it was available for preorder. :)

btw, as it seems, this will be a GAME/gamestation exclusive in the UK.

I contacted shopto.net about getting this item, they said something in the line of: "we will not be able to have this item in stock".

also, if you go on masseffect.bioware.com and change the country (upper right corner) to the UK, only Origin (for digital copy) and GAME show up. No amazon, best buy, HMV, etc.

AFAIK, it's most certainly a GAME/gamestation exclusive in the UK.

clues:

#1 if you go to masseffect.bioware.com and select UK as your country, only GAME shows for preorder (alongside Origin, ofc...)

#2 NO OTHER retailer (brick & mortar or online) has it in offer.

#3 I asked ShopTo about this, here's their reply:

Good Morning,

Unfortunately we will not be able to offer this edition.

Sorry we could not help.

Regards

...which kinda sucks since we're paying a hefty, over the top 70GBP for this.
for example, it costs 80 USD over at Gamestop USA (that's roughly 53 GBP). *sigh*

Looks like the PC version of the CE has dropped back down to £59.99 at GAME.

I've preordered in store and online for this. When ME2 came out, my local GAME stores didn't have enough CE to fulfill preorders and it was on a first come first served basis. I missed out and ended up paying over the odds for it on ebay after release... >.< Won't be making that mistake again.

Cant wait for this. Annoyingly I never finished ME1 and sold my xbox on and lost my saved game. When playing ME2 with random decisions it sucked as it didnt feel like my story. Cant wait for the third though. I should think about finishing the DLC for ME2 before the third :)

Heads up guys. GAME are going to cancel all orders for this.

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/337724/game-wont-be-selling-mass-effect-3/

Seen it's in stock at Zavvi now though.

Quick question though, is it worth ordering from Zavvi now or seeing if the price drops. Doesn't seem to be truly limited from where I'm looking.

Kept my Game one open as I believe they are to give customers £5 reward points as a gesture of goodwill when they cancel.

Game/gamestation are cancelling all orders soon, hence why other retailers now have stock for preorder. So yes, I'd say, preorder now but keep your game preorder incase they keep their word about the £5 points thing xx

Have 3 other mates who asked me to order theres because they couldn't reach their computer atm.

Can't believe I got them for that price! I used the 15% off code from the MGS balls up, and used it on 3 orders, and it took it off the grand total 3 times!! Then I added my 4th one, but the code didn't work for that, must have been some once only code I guess. But still, what a saving!

So now then, should I tell my mates the real cost ; ) lol

I really feel sorry for the people who might be busy today, because it looks like they're gonna get their copy cancelled from Game and not able to order it from anywhere else because it'll have sold out everywhere that had their allocations.

It's just luck that I decided to pop on the web today, and tell my mates. Because all of us would have been in this position I'm sure.

Should have seen it coming with the supermarkets price drop on COD MW2.
Around £20 cheaper (yes you had to buy stuff but gets you out with the wife/girlfriend shopping)

I was lucky late last year to pre-order on top of the Xbox/PS3 N7 version from game a PS3 copy from Gamestop & with you guys help able to order 1 from Amazon & another on to play/use from Gamestop.

Game like HMV should sell of Gamestation (like HMV's Waterstones) now not leave it for months, it's not going to get better for them.
I know the guys at the Reading sites & would not like anything bad to happen to most of them, they are good guys who have put me in the right direction for a bargain most of the times i am in there.

You imagine all those Mass Effect posters having to come down & any SSX ones also.

Mass Effect 3 Collectors Edition Unboxing

AnyprdQN6bU

EDIT: Hmm looks like it's not a "steelbook", just a Star Metalpak : /

Lemur
03-02-2012, 06:45 AM
Thanks for the early unboxing! Seems like EA official CEs are including Star Metalpaks recently as seen from SWTOR and now ME3. Even Dragon Age Origins had only 1 run of real steelbooks then switched to Metalpaks. In fact, I can't think of any official EA CE coming with steelbooks in the last couple of years? This will be an important point for me the next time EA announces a metal case :protest:

Btw the RRP for the CE over here is SGD 100 which is around GBP 50. It's Asia version but all contents are the same and for some preorders we also get a free replica normandy.

Ah my bad. Yes crysis 2 had the steelbook in the nano edition. Awesome one that was. For the others, it was either a country/shop exclusive or a preorder bonus. Not included together in the CE.

I thinks It could be because everyone that had their order with GAME cancelled and did not get the info in time, to make orders at the other stores.

This is worst part of this shamble, EA brought this on themselves by refusing to allow GAME a little leeway in regards to the supplying goods on a sold basis.

We can't really blame GAME, they are doing what they can with the cash they have, they simply couldn't afford it.

I placed my order via paypal and when i went to do a search on the site afterwards it was no longer listed.

I then saw on their Twitter feed that they only had 1 copy of xbox in stock, but the tweet was 8 hours old at that point. So I'm not sure if the 1 copy they mentioned in the twitter feed was the one i got but I've got nothing to lose i guees. Worst case I'll get a refund if i dont get one.

One will be NTSC and one will be PAL - the NTSC copy may not play on your console if you've gotten it for Xbox, but if it's PS3 then it'll be fine :)

Don't think there are any differences other than region though?

Mass Effect isn't region locked, so no probs if its on 360

DLC may not work across regions

If keeping one as an inverstment, leave the UK one sealed, they are usually worth more

How are the eBay prices going up every single day?! The NTSC version

I was expecting this CE to fall down in price massively in the months following its release, due to the large quantities, in a way similar to the Gears of War 3 CE.

Maybe I am wrong :-/ Definitely should have bought more than one NTSC, though I did buy one PAL -- from Zavvi :(. Whatever, the PAL one is for me to open and throw around :D

Are the NTSC ones not as good as PAL ones usually then? I think the contents is the same in both.

I think PAL releases for most things are deemed the rarer/more sought after ones than NTSC - not entirely sure why though, could be to do with the ratings logo xx

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. ME 1 &2 are definitely higher priced and more sought after on NTSC.

Other games are the same, no? Correct me if I'm wrong :)

Masoom - totally agree with you, I need it too!

driv3r - I'm not totally sure tbh, I just know that some games are more sought after on PAL copies, I just assumed ME would be one of them :) region doesn't matter to me anyway, I find the regional rarity thing quite odd tbh :haha: xx

For people who may have still missed out, there are 360 versions available on Tesco's website for preorder, but they have a pricetag on them of £98.97... Maybe a last chance to get one...

Yes, the game will be available over here for about 90 euros. It may be possible for us to find spare copies.

Hi,

I am afraid EA have let us down with allocating your collector's edition of Mass Effect 3 C.E on the PC. We will have to cancel and refund your current order. As a gesture of goodwill, and as an apology for any inconvenience caused, we can however send you a standard edition copy free of charge. Your original order has been refunded in full.

Should you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.

Have a lovely evening!

Kind Regards,
Rebecca.



anyone else had this

Ambrose

Nice so you get a standard edition free of charge. I would say that pretty much makes up for it even though it is annoying your order was cancelled. You could always sell it and then afford the Ebay prices though.

Woah man!! >.< That really sucks! I guess a free standard Ed is pretty good, but it's still not acceptable... I'll keep an eye out for a CE for ya if I see one, I'll let you know, or just grab it! :D

I wonder why they've been let down... :( I hope I don't get this from anywhere I've ordered from... >.<

The £5 has to be used by next month too I believe. So pretty useless as I wasn't planning on buying any games anyway next month.

I couldn't get my voucher to work so I gave it to my friend as a joke, however he got it to work on the Star wars Old republic CE.

Turns out you need to spend a minimum of £35.:facepalm:

Ambrose
03-05-2012, 10:20 PM
So the £5 voucher from game is only valid for one month and can only be used when spending at least £35 already. Why are GAME treating us with such contempt.

scottcross
03-05-2012, 10:30 PM
If you pre ordered in store with game they actually put £5 worth of points onto your game card instead so no time or spend limit

Gazereths
03-05-2012, 10:49 PM
They should have just done that with online orders as well.

Agreed...On all points.

There are so many better CE's out there, I'd have thought ME3 would have a better CE or even a super-limited-collectors-special-ultimate-uberdooby-edition.....I know there was that Italian exclusive with the Normandy model, but why only Italy?....Also I have the Normandy model anyway.

They were planning to have a super special uber edition with an amazing Normandy model (bigger, better and more limited than the Normandy model we all know and love) but for some reason, the idea was scrapped.

The CE we have though, is quite nice. I thought the steel case would be pretty bad (I thought they took a page from the Dark Souls CE book when it was first announced) but it's amazing. The patch, not so much... The artbook is nice though and the lithographic print is actually quite good and not just some postcard disguised as a lithograph. I would have preferred a physical copy of the OST but hey, with music like that of Mass Effect, I'm not complaining.

Ambrose

I quite liked the collectors edition. Yeah the patch it rubbish. But the steel case is nice plus the artbook and downloadable soundtrack are all pretty decent.
