Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector’s Edition, pre-orders and more
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a Collector’s Edition that was quite as massive as the Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector’s Edition. For Shepard fans out there, this edition is ridiculous!
Contents include:
• A 70 page hardcover art book with illustrations from the development team.
• A limited edition copy of Mass Effect: Invasion with unique cover art
• A premium N7 fabric patch
• Exclusive 4×6 lithographic print featuring a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork of the SR-2 Alliance Normandy
Free Downloadable Content:
• N7 Arsenal Pack: Contains the N7 Valiant Sniper Rifle, N7 Crusader Shotgun, N7 Hurricane SMG, and N7 Eagle Pistol.
• A Robotic Dog: A faithful sidekick to keep you company on board the Normandy
• Squadmate Alternate Outfit Pack: New outfits for Ashley, Kaidan, James Vega, and Liara T’Soni
• N7 Hoodie: Outfit item for Shepard while onboard the Normandy
• An additional downloadable mission and character
• An Xbox LIVE Normandy prop for your Avatar
Others:
• Free digital soundtrack
• A collection of forum and social badges, avatars, and perks
• A premium metal case featuring commemorative artwork of both male and female versions of Commander Shepard
The standard edition obviously doesn’t come with any of this so for $79.99 the N7 Collector’s Edition is obviously a no-brainer. Those of you who pre-order either edition of the game will get additional bonuses.
Pre-orders:
If you pre-order from any retailer not named GameStop, you’ll get an M55 Argus Assault Rifle. If you pre-order from GameStop, you’ll get an N7 Warfare Gear package that includes the N7 Defender Armor and N7 Valkyrie Assault Rifle. Origin pre-orders will come with the AT-12 Raider Shotgun.
Sounds fancy doesn’t it? Mass Effect 3 releases on March 6th so prepare for more action on the Normandy!

I’m a little mad GameStop is getting more items in the CE.
Does anyone know if generally EA will release these extra items for purchase later on?
Currently I have this pre-ordered from Amazon. But I’m going to pre-order from GameStop, see if Amazon gets any other items, then decide which one to get.
I bought some GameStop giftcards online for a 10% discount so in essence, even with Tax+Shipping(boooo GameStop) it will be the same price(roughly) as what I pre-ordered with on Amazon. I won’t get it day 1 which is OK with me.

they always release later for purchase.

That sucks, but why pay later when I can get them in the CE.
How does GameStop get these special items and other retailers don’t? I hate that shit. FF13-2 is doing the same thing, but at least the different retailers(BB, GS, Amazon) all get different items.

exclusive pre orders suck all the time but they always release it much later as paid DLC
