Thanks. I still probably won't get it, as amazon is out of CE's, and I get a $10 credit from amazon for preordering there, so that pretty much pays for it anyway.

For one reason or another I haven't really been bothered enough by any of the day one dlc/project ten dollar stuff until that From Ashes stuff was revealed to be part of the CE. I don't buy CEs unless they're cheap, which usually happens a few months after the release of a game. I would have been ok if it was included with all new copies, regardless of the version but for now I cancelled my Amazon regular edition pre-order and will just wait for all the DLC to be released. Then I'll wait for a DLC sale on XBL and <$20 for the game.

Anyone try to preorder one of those Razer products? IPhone case is sold out and that's the only one I would want to buy.

holy crap. just unlocked the asari adept...statis bubble is retarded.

just ran my Human Soldier with just a modded Carnifex, cryo rounds, and fully updated Concussive blast that i can fire every 1.5 seconds lol... wow thats soooo OP. I hit over 100 kills and just spammed it all day long.

I'm expecting BioWare to give Phantoms armor in the retail version just to troll us.

When I go to store.razerzone.com EVERYTHING shows as unavailable and click the button to be notified when back in stock.

I'm tempted to get the controller but not sure if I would like it. I would like to hold off for reviews but then I would not get the preorder bonus.

becasue its still a preorder item, order through the bioware store, whenever they run out of preorder quantities, they will update their inventory page as out of stock and then you will not get any. just like the Liara statues, they sold out in preorder before even being technically available.

The controller is just this one with the N7 skin, so there's your reviews.

Did anyone else get a headache trying to read this post?

More details on From Ashes (spoilers, even though this is an official BioWare communication):



As most of you know, yesterday there was a leak that revealed the upcoming DLC “ME3:From Ashes” on the
Xbox LIVE Marketplace. This leak took place before we were prepared to make an announcement about the details of that pack (slated for this Friday).

There has been a lot of discussion about the DLC offering but we wanted to clarify a few things...

- “From Ashes” includes the Prothean squad mate, an adventure on Eden Prime, a new weapon, and an alternate
appearance for every squad mate. Note that these alternate appearances are in addition to the ones already advertised in the CE.

- The Collectors Edition has been advertised from the beginning as containing a bonus character/mission, but we were not at liberty to provide the details. The Prothean is optional content that is certainly designed to appeal to long-time fans, which is why he is part of the CE offering (the version many fans would be likely to purchase). Mass Effect 3 is a complete – and a huge game - right out of the box.

- The content in “From Ashes” was developed by a separate team (after the core game was finished) and not completed until well after the main game went into certification.

- The Collectors Edition has been sold out in most places for some time now, and is becoming very hard to find (many players prefer not to purchase the digital version). As such, we wanted to make this content available so that SE buyers could also incorporate the Prothean into their game.

We’ll be releasing someimages and video about this pack in the coming days.

As always, we are extremely thankful for all of your support. We pulled out all of the stops to make Mass Effect 3 the best game ever, and we can't wait for you all to experience it.

Mike


Non spoiler summary:

The "From Ashes" DLC contains a squadmate, a quest, a weapon, and alternate outfits for every squadmate (separate from the CE outfits that have already been shown for Liara and Vega). It comes free with the CE and is 800 MSP otherwise.

The DLC being available to everyone will really drive down the reseller profits on the CE over time. Expect a lot of griping from the CAG reselling community. Lol.

The extra outfits for Liara and Vega, N7 Arsenal weapons, N7 hoodie, and mech dog are still exclusive to the CE. It's still a lot more substantial than the weapon and armor set that the ME2 CE contained.
