Dragon Age II Bioware Signature Edition Announced

[gurpswoo1]

LOL - The game comes out on the 11 of March here. The cut off time it still tomorrow for PAL regions

gurpswoo1 is correct. Dragon Age 2 comes out in March, but for some odd reason, preorders for the Signature Edition are cut off here in early January.

*sigh* EA, you're just so-

[twistedsymphony]

ok that makes a little more sense then... I wonder why they cut it off so early for PAL?

I wonder why they cut it off so early for PAL?

It's pretty much the same for the NTSC region, just a difference of a few days, I think. Ostensibly, they want to 'reward' loyal fans, but it seems to be a ploy to increase pre-order numbers if you ask me. Just look at Amazon.com's bestseller rankings: Dragon Age 2 Signature Edition shot up to near top of the list the last few days.

I don't think i'll waste my time or money with this, like all of the other EA LE's being released lately. DLC is worthless to a collector in my opinion, and a complete lack of effort on EA's part. They could have put more effort into this i'm afraid

So I told them so on Twitter!

Don't forget the silver foil front cover aswell. Aside from that, it worthless.

Get the Collector's edition guide, the last one sold out before launch in the UK. Highly desirable.

I think I'll wait for the Ultimate Edition with the extra expansion that is no doubt being worked on already.

[gurpswoo1]

LOL - Knowing EA the content is already on the disc and all you need is 20KB download to unlock it.

[Skoolstah]

Well, unless they release another disc like with Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening.

however, you can't really complain because this is a essentially a free upgrade, and it's semi-rare since it's pre-order only.

Tell them then!

I often tell EA what I think of them via Twitter:

Not sure if they read it, or whether they actually care, but makes me feel better to speak my mind!
