The xbox version had some long-ish loading times. They weren't really that long but people like to over exaggerate. If you install the game they were much faster and hardly an inconvenience.

My problem with the trilogy edition is the cost. Why pay more than $40 for 3 games I can get individually for less than that price already.

I got ME 1 for $7.99
Mass effect 2 $5

the only reason if A. ps3 B. people that never/play the first two
Im glad i got both at best buy. YMMV for ME1 since it's sold out lonline but BB maybe able to price match in store.

Originally Posted by The Punisher the game is not shrink wrap. Like others said, it does have those circle stickers, but i do notice that gamestop does have them too.

The reason why im asking if its going to be rare or go up in value because i found 3 CE xbox 360 copies awhile back. I want to keep one and not sure about the other two. I can either return or sell it on ebay. Any ideas?

well it depends how much those are, but from what I've heard the 360 me ce's are rarer and more valuable than the ps3 ones. so it may be worth your time to grab them as well if you plan on holding on to it for later.

Some thoughts. I didnt expect the steelbook to be DVD size. I was hoping and thought it would be the size of a bluray case. Bc the package is so big, it cant fit upright in my TV stand alongside the rest of my games

I also noticed that the disc art for the game is different than the standard. Is this how most CE discs are? I expected it to be the same

Well I got it from Target. I was looking for harddrives and said what the hack enter the sku on those price checkers. I was disappointed about sold out hard drive and saw xbox 360 ME3 CE in stock. The funny thing is that I never saw these displayed on the sells floor when it came out. So after 15 mins waiting a trainee found it in the stockroom. Look brand new with no spider wrap. Even the trainee was shocked that they had them in stock.

So, I got ME 1 and ME 2 at BB ($7.99,$5 + tax) and the ME3 CE so it's cheaper then the Trilogy that is coming out. The only thing I like from the trilogy is the outer box and re-release on other consoles. I dont have a PS3, but glad PS3 owners can enjoy this epic game. (I like both consoles, but I like the xbox dashboard and games.)

The GS in Edmond, OK (Danforth) had a copy but it didn't have the original case because "it was stolen". Weird. On my way to a location in OKC who has 1 copy left (already called).

I got one!!! I got one!!!

Anybody know what ME1 trades is at GS?

Picked one up today- thanks OP!

BB TIV is $8 base

Picked up ME3 ce for the pc to go along with the first two from the Origin fall sale. Already have the 360 ce, are the contents (minus codes) going for enough on ebay to cover a good part of the cost?

Thanks OP. Bought one today at GS. It was one of the Gamestop "newsed" games. It was opened and a little dinged up. It is in much better condition than the 360 CE I bought from amazon warehouse deals that was smashed.

I'm probably the only person that is happy it's a full sized DVD steelbook because I can use it to replace my smashed 360 CE. Hopefully the BB TIV holds so I can get $16 for the ps3 disc after 100% bonus.
