Yes, if you are a PUR member you will get the additional 10% off.

Also, OP edited to reflect the info in MSUHitman's post.

Just to be clear, if you're planning to get the online pass it's not worth getting it used at this price... Plus it's only "supporting" EA in doing the whole online pass thing to begin with since you're then buying it. If you want 5 or so bucks off (which is all it'll be after you buy the pass) just wait a couple weeks for it to go on sale.

Just edited the OP again to make that a bit more clear.

You make a good point, I justfigure there are a fair amount of Mass Effect fans that don't care about the multiplayer (although the MP demo was pretty interesting). And after the PUR discount this comes out to be ~$43, not a bad discount for release week IMO.

Now personally, I don't think the Online-pass holds a candle to the Cerberus Network pass that was ME2's "buy this new incentive". That's just my opinion tho

For those people who have no interest in the MP and want to achieve the best ending strictly through single player, this is the way to go. Also, be sure to buy the From Ashes DLC as the character and storyline provides a unique view of the Mass Effect Universe.

I've been playing this game non stop since Tuesday morning and have some general tips that will make your gaming experience better. Ths won't contain any spoilers:

1) Be sure to reset all your skills using your personal cabin in Mass Effect 2 before transferring your character over. The game may assume that you wanted one skill choice in the 4th tier when you actually would prefer the other one. In my case, I wanted the extra 8% reputation bonus but I was locked in to the increase to power damage choice.

2) If you've bought the DLC, be sure to do the side mission listed in your quest log before activating the final cutscene. I got this side quest and achievement sticking out at me now that I can never complete unless I start a new game.

Is this side mission in ME2 or ME3? I didn't do some of the ME2 DLC until after completing the suicide mission but am hoping my actions in them will still count in ME3.

Thanks.

Sorry, should have clarified a bit more. If you've bought the "From Ashes" DLC for Mass Effect 3, be sure to do the side mission/achievement before activating the final cutscene. This will affect your war readiness and will not be able to be completed once the main DLC mission is done. If you don't mind reading spoilers, google the achievement name and you'll get a step-by-step plan on how to proceed.

Yeah, no for the people who do not want MP at all/aren't connected to the internet then it's a good a deal.

And I agree, the Cerberus Network was better...gave away too much free stuff with that though!
