Didn't see this posted, but Gamestop has Mass Effect 3 (ps3/360) used for $47.99 (instead of the normal $55 for used games).

*Edit: as MSUHitman said later in the thread, Gamestop now lists used games that require an online-pass @ this price instead of the normal $55. Since I didn't know about this, I'd thought sharing that info here might benefit some other ppl.

IE: BF3 (which has an online-pass) is $47.99 used vs. Modern Warfare 3 (which doesn't) at $54.99 used.

PS3 Version
360 Version

Returned the new copy I bought yesterday for this after I checked the website & saw my local store actually had a used copy (TWO DAYS after release)!

Since the online pass included will MOST LIKELY ALREADY BE USED, this is great for those that don't pay for XBL Gold (like me), or just don't care about the MP. That said, I lucked out & my copy had an unused MP pass, as well as an unused 2-day XBLG trial. Obviously YMMV for that.

This is actually pretty tempting. I have enough for a $20 off coupon. But I'm not sure whether or not I care about multiplayer

I heard that MP actually affects on how the game ends. (PC Gamer)

It does, but only in the same way doing side missions do in the single-player. There are no special endings that you unlock or that require playing the MP: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/to.../index/9665384

Well poop.

You don't have to play multiplayer to achieve the best ending. You can still get the best/perfect ending without playing the multiplayer. Don't have to play the multiplayer at all if you don't want to.

The multiplayer is really fun if you have friends to play with.

Thanks OP.

I found a store that has it just 5 miles away (hopefully pick up at store option that I used works-store closed already). If the online pass is used already, can I use Microsoft Points to purchase another one? I ask because I've got a bunch of MP already and I'd rather not spend cash.

Thanks op!

Yeah, you can buy an online pass if it is already used up. I think it costs 800 MSP.

ALL games w/online passes that aren't published by WB or Sony (GS has deals with those publishers) are always $47.99 used when the game retails for $60 new. That's so if someone buys the used copy w/ or without the online pass it's "cheaper" than buying the game new.

Of course depending on your area, if the pass is still in the case you're chance varies that the pass was used or not by the previous owner.

If anyone needs a code for MP i have 1 for each system i will let go for $3 each Paypal. just trying to help out this Website community as much as it has me!

Will this work with the b2g1 deal posted in the other thread? :O

Kinda surprised you guys all think this is a great deal, this was the pre-order price newegg had for it and they still have it for $49.99 until the 12th with promo code EMCNGND89. With no tax to most states it would actually be cheaper than getting a used copy at Gamestop. Just sayin'...

Yeah would be an awesome deal but FU California since newegg charges tax I will resort to amazon until the end of the year until they jump ship and join too.

Ah I see.

That's the first I've heard of this happening, but I will definitely be looking out for that now. I know when games first started doing the online-pass thing, GS was still selling the used games for only $5 less than new games, so you were actually out some money if you got that & needed/wanted the $10 online-code.

Like others have said, I too paid for the game outright with trade-in credit

Just the same, I thought it was insane that there were already stores with used copies of ME3 a DAY after it came out. I guess the previous owner of my copy either got it as a gift, or just hated it so much lol.

My local GS even hooked me up with the pre-order armor/guns code, but I'm a regular there so they know me. That said, it couldn't hurt to ask if they could hook you up with the same code, hopefully you'll get a bro behind the counter.

man, store by me has ps3 version in stock...most likely because thats the version w/ frame rate issues =(

ARGH!!! I'm so sick of this face importer glitch not being fixed yet. I haven't even been able to start the campaign.

I'm not into this game or even Gamestop but don't you also get 10% off if you are a PUR member? so this will bring it down to about 43?
