Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition

[driv3r]

Hi all,

I am looking for a Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition (NTSC. XBOX 360!)

Would anybody here happen to have an extra copy they reserved/pre-ordered that they are willing to sell?

Looking to buy it for around $130 including shipping to South Korea. Please help me and prevent me from buying it off eBay for x2 RRP :(

:)

[Letrico]

Would like to help you but the cheapest I can get here in Australia is 105 AUD + i think 20.5 AUD shipping to south korea. =/ we get stuff overpriced here.

[Madigan]

I don't know which version you want but you can ask jugo to pre order one for you

[driv3r]

Ah... the Xbox 360 version is unavailable! Not surprised at all :/

And 105 AUD is the release price?! Man that's pretty overpriced :(

[Anjelaoni]

You can still preorder the XBOX 360 Version in Switzerland, but I'm afraid it will be over the 120$ inculding the shipping. Sorry mate!

yeah we get stupid price here =/. Everything is more expensive around 1.5x to 2x from other countries. 105 is the cheapest btw. RRP is 130 AUD

[biscuitnoir]

Sold out at future shop as well, the XBOX 360 release at least. Sorry bud.

[Purdy]

Instead of making a new thread was just wondering if someone knew where I could get one in the UK, willing to ship in from abroad or members on here selling.

PC Version.

Thanks :)

[Purdy]

damn...i want it to be uk otherwise DONOTWANT!

Well go compare it to Game.co.uk, it is exactly the same.

[evilvort3x]

purdy did u have 2 pay right now for it?

[Purdy]

Yeah, gamestop always take money instantly as far as I'm aware, did for my Vita and Diablo 3

[nipperkipper]

will the ireland one be the UK release?

I could be wrong but arent games in Ireland PEGI rated and Not BBFC. Not a big difference really to me but it is to some

[evilvort3x]

thats my concern i ONLY want it if its the same as UK BBFC... ill ring in the morning

[gu8]

doesnt matter does it

[Purdy]

Why the hell would that matter 0.o

[evilvort3x]

rarity.... more produced say for pegi and not bbfc... thats why...

[Purdy]

Oh, well aren't they producing more after launch? Isn't that the reason they gave for it being so limited.

[evilvort3x]

not as far as im aware!

[Sazzle15]

I would kiss you right now if I could, I've been looking for bloody ages, assumed Gamestop.co.uk would include ireland.

Glad I've helped:):)

[gu8]

yeah good spot there sazzle vajazzle mate

:1:

[driv3r]

Why are the release prices so expensive in other countries? >: (

[Biggav4000]

I have a few Pal ones preordered Pm me:thumb:

[ferrari100]

yeah we get stupid price here =/. Everything is more expensive around 1.5x to 2x from other countries. 105 is the cheapest btw. RRP is 130 AUD

I had a years hoilday visa for Australia in 2008-2009. I lived in Queensland mostly. I was kinda shocked how much viseo games were over there. I guess by comparison the UK has some of the cheapest prices for games, standard editions anyhow.

[evilvort3x]

very worryingfor all who have ordered with GAME ...


This worrying text followed: "For customers who have pre-ordered the N7 Collector's Edition please re-order your copies through these retailers."

These are Amazon, Play, Zavvi and ShopTo.

[vhal_x]

I made a thread regarding this :( Is it back in stock at any retailers?

Also, Shopto don't seem to have it despite posting today that they are stocking it, do they take payment up front?

I really don't want to miss out on this edition! xx

[vhal_x]

It's over £100 at Zavvi :/ WTF!? xx

[vhal_x]

Just preordered at Play.com... £69.99 xx

[Resseh]

hmmm £70 is a lot. what do you peeps reckon ? I want the DLC. . But im not buying it to keep as a collectable item more because i love the game. Worth £70?

[evilvort3x]

got my 1 that i wanted so im happy!

[Gemini-Phoenix]

There is also GameStop.co.uk, but they ahve since sod out after GAME's announcement earlier this afternoon.

I was lucky enough to be online at the time and able to place an order with ShopTo.net, but this is indeed worrying news, especially when I have many other pre-orders with GAME, and also after they have already cancelled my pre-orders for The Last Story, Tekken 3D, and aren't stocking Pandora's Tower or Mario Party 9...

[Purdy]

Managed to nab another copy at gamestop for ps3 and PC, thank god.

[ferrari100]

I got a copy coming from futureshop. I dont mind waiting and not fussed about the dlc.

[scottcross]

Anyone think this edition is gonna be quite valuable in the future seeing as its selling out quickly?

[evilvort3x]

its sold out not selling out? where still has stock?

[scottcross]

My bad, didnt know it had completely sold out lol, hadnt checked since i ordered mine yesterday

[scottcross]

Just to let you know gamestop uk are listing these again this morning

[driv3r]

Argh...I believe I was scammed!!
I bought my NTSC as a preorder off of eBay like two months ago, and he was supposed to send it out on release day but I haven't heard from him yet. Somebody else who bought the same thing as I did left negative feedback saying "Scam artist" :-/

Anyway, would anybody be willing to sell their NTSC Xbox 360 ME3 CE? $100+shipping...
:beg:

[vhal_x]

It's not release day yet driv3r, don't worry too much! You'll get your money back from paypal if you've been scammed xx

[Cosmic_Link]

It's not release day yet driv3r, don't worry too much! You'll get your money back from paypal if you've been scammed xx

It came out in the states yesterday... For the reason above, I never preorder off eBay. If the seller hasn't got it in hand, it's just opportunity for seller to rip people off... :(

[vhal_x]

Ah, never realised :blush: oops! :P xx

[gurpswoo1]

Your bigger issue is that paypal protection is only for 45 days, after that you have no protection.

[driv3r]

WHAT THE FUCK??!

That must be why he put it up around mid January? I purchase it on January 15th myself.

He had 219 feedback and 100% at the time I bought it:
http://myworld.ebay.com/chachi.liquidation/&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2754

Mmmmm... fuck

[driv3r]

Well this purchase came straight from my Credit card and not Paypal balance.
If that even means anything.

eBay definitely needs to advertise the 45-day thing more.

[gurpswoo1]

That good news it came from your card and not your balance.

It might be different or longer for orders outside the USA, Here is the info on ebay USA

Has the seller responded at all

You can open a case with your credit card company then!

Nope, no reply. I contacted the guy who left him negative feedback and he hasn't gotten a reply to a message he sent a couple weeks ago.

That bitch had over 200 feedback and 100% as well... >: (

I am looking for the NTSC version :-/

Yeah, I think I'll do that; does anyone know if CC companies have a time limit as well?




Well, on a happier note, I received my Mass Effect Russian Steelbook today in the mail :) Ordered it directly from Soyuz; took a month or so, but it actually came! Sealed and in great condition :) Somebody should trade me their ME3 CE for my steelbook. :ghey:

[Madigan]

The EU version has a steelbook, the NTSC has a metalpak, you choose :P

[driv3r]

The EU version has a steelbook, the NTSC has a metalpak, you choose :P

Woah, are you SURE???

I haven't paid much attention to the CE, but are you SURE ABOUT THIS?!?!

Then I have much more incentive to buy the UK version :)

I actually already bought one off of Zavvi. I just wanted an NTSC one I could keep sealed.

[gurpswoo1]

In the Uk you have a maximum of 90 days depending on the card company. some have 60 days.

Depending on what was purchase you can have 6 months to make a claim.

Also check out the repercussions for a charge back.

[Madigan]

Yep

Awesome! :D All the more reason for me to keep a sealed one now! lol

[driv3r]

Thanks for your help, gurps and everybody else! :)
The same son of a bitch had a Diablo 3 CE Pre-order up as well, and a couple people bought that. :(

Anyway if the US is going to get a Metalpak while UK is not, I have no reason to try so hard finding the NTSC version!





*When I mean CC, I mean Paypal charged the money from my CC rather than from my Paypal balance. Is this what you guys are talking about?

[gurpswoo1]

Yes that is exactly what I am talking about

The first you need to do is contact your CC company and ask for advice and procedure. Also how does it affect you if you do a charge back.

Explain you used paypal otherwise they will think paypal is the company that they need to make case against.

[driv3r]

Ah, alright :)

Just imagine, if I had money in my Paypal balance at the time I purchased it! haha
