It's $10 off MSRP.

In for one, hoping this stays legit.

Edit: I forgot about the Amazon pre-order bonus...
I'll probably cancel Target since it has a chance of sending the standard edition.

^lol.

The item description is accurate on this. "The Collectors' Edition includes an art book, the first issue of the comic book Mass Effect: Redemption, a making-of DVD, and exclusive in-game weapons and armor."

I think y'all should save some screen captures (with dates/time) just in case and fight for it.

I did, thanks. I took 6 of them! =)

A few of the lowered price, the item description, my order yet to be shipped and the email after I 'ordered'.

This seems to be a legitimate deal to me. I went ahead and ordered, as I could always return it to the store.

Basically, the tradeoff is standard edition from Amazon for $57 with $10 credit, plus the preorder bonus... OR $60-$62 for the collector's edition from Target, no preorder bonus. I chose the latter. (Or $70 w/ preorder bonus from Amazon for CE.)

Actually, does anyone know if Target gets a preorder bonus?

I don't believe Target does. Also, just so you know, Target had something like this in the past where they listed the CE of a game for the normal edition price, and then shipped out the normal edition to people. So, I really wouldn't count on receiving the CE.

No preorder bonus for Target, only Gamestop, Best Buy, and Amazon. Not sure on Game Crazy.

When Target.com had Fallout 3 GOTY edition for $40 before launch, at least one CAG who ordered it had the regular version show up. I'd be a little wary about the regular version showing up, though it seems likely that they might follow-through on it.

Then again, after the delays I had with Target following through on my order for F3 GOTY edition, I'd never order from them again.

I'll never buy from Target except in store unless I'm really desperate, too many delays on my end and reported mix-ups by other CAGS to warrant my business.

well, I placed the order and check out the message I get in the confirmation email:

"Please note that your Order Acknowledgement means that your order request has been received; it does not mean that your order has been shipped or that the price of an item has been confirmed.

I think we are screwed since it notes that one item in my cart has no price.....

I left out this part before....sorry:

I have a feeling Toys R Us will give us gift cards with ME2. They have done that with most big games this year.

Just went to Best Buy. Xbox 360 preorder box says 360 standard version is going to cost $49.99, and the collector's edition is going to be $59.99. Went to the PC section, and standard edition will only be $39.99 and collector's will be $49.99. I even confirmed this with the manager of the Concord, CA store. I can go back and take a picture, but so many people have Best Buys near them, that they can just look for themselves.

Shut Up! That's a pretty big deal, if true.

hmmm need to go check this out when I go back to school :/ The price online is still 60 and 70 for the normal and CE respectively

So the CE come with SteelBook, right?

Unfortunately, GameStop has me with the Terminus Assault Armor and M-490 Blackstorm gun pre-order bonus. I truly hate how they are doing the specific in-game pre-order bonuses. Though ME2 is the only game so far that it has mattered to me.

I think he's mistaken. If it was going to be $49.99 for the regular version and $59.99 for the CE, we'd have seen price changes by now on GS.com and Amazon.com.

Hmm, this is all pretty interesting. I reread the email confirmation, and it does say this:

"If an item's correct price is lower than our stated price, we charge the lower amount and ship you the item.

If an item's correct price is higher than our stated price we will cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation via email."


Now unless that is itself unreliable info, I won't cancel just yet, to see how things play out. Best case scenario would be Amazon lowering the CE price.
