They've lost the contract to sell EA games so that means all the pre-orders for Mass Effect 3 (huge game!) have been canceled and they've told people to buy it elsewhere.......thats great......but its completely sold out! C**TS!!

If anyone on here has ordered more than one copy of the limited collectors edition please let me know.
GAME and Gamestation may well be going down the plug hole very soon, if you've got game vouchers with them.

Firstly, settle petal
Secondly, they didn't lose the contract, EA's credit terms were not favourable to their business so GAME terminated their agreement with EA.
EA are the bad guys here, they're trying to milk this release for all it is worth, hence not selling it on for PC on Steam(where ME1 and 2 were
EA have ALWAYS been money grabbing c**ts but GAME and gamestation are just as bad. Their game management and prices are terrible! Pre-owned games selling for a lot more then you can buy them brand new elsewhere, keeping games at full prices for ages and some at starting prices of £42/44.99, trade ins are worth f**k all now too. They've been losing money for years and last year was their worst year yet. Stores have been closing recently and things arnt looking good for them at all, this mass effect 3 pre-order f**k up is just the icing on the cake.

I've not pre-ordered my PC copy yet, need to pull my finger out!
...because they 'were' the only place selling the limited edition versions thats why.......hence my original post! ...and FYI all PC and 360 LE versions have sold out. You can still get them on PS3 because no one wants it on that apparently!

Are you sure game were the sole supplier?
It seems that it's listed on a number of sites, albeit out of stock.
Game and gamestation exclusive for the CE versions, thats why everyone is now p*ssed with them for cancelling their orders a week before it comes out. All I can suggest is that you call EA and ask them what they're doing about supplying CE in the ukMarf wrote:Fair enough.

GAME are in the verge of going pop and have been for months, and as such they are having to negotiate their credit with the major games publishers. Understandably EA are loathe to let a ton of games out to GAME just in case they then go bust, and so are hedging their bets by getting more per unit. It's common sense, not money grabbing and EA are far from the bad guys at all. Ubisoft did the same with their Vita launches last week, and they won't be the last. All the other pretty stuff like covers & books is nice to look at but irrelevant to the game IMHO. I still feel EA are milking it as much as they can by putting the PC release on Origin and charging full retail for it.(and the Morrowind & Fallout ones too) you get so many hours of playtime, it becomes a bargain.£1/hr.Ekona wrote:
All the CE stuff will be available as DLC soon after it gets released anyway, save your cash and buy it that way.
Thats why I've f**ked off the CE and bought the SE (with extra DLC) for £32! (owned by the same company) this year then, dont think they will close down just yet but you never know with the state of everything atm. You'll hear about online before you see anything close or shut down anyway, and then its SELL SELL SELL!!!! I only used them because I always get loads of vouchers from friends and family and build up 'reward points' with them.
