Game ME3 preorders being cancelled.

Now that just sucks big time, I thought I was going to be lucky as mine was still showing as a pre order on their site. I can't understand why they are not going to stock any EA games after SSX, they really are going down the pan as Mass Effect 3 would have been a big earner for them along with the Fifa's

I don't see Game lasting another 12 months with their recent news regarding EA games. EA produce the big yearly hitters. Not stocking the likes of FIFA will surely be a massive dent.

Apparently PLAY.com & SHOPTO ar now selling the N7 Edition - switch those orders people!

Its on Play but not on Shopto yet, cancelling my Game pre order in case them muppets still charge my card for a game they are not going to stock.

OMG! i saw this coming though. i read pointyheads tweet and ran off to get my laptop to come see if anyone had informed you lot.

yeh i may get a chance to get this now :)

yeah but i am gutted for you lot. plus my cuz has a bit of a deal with his local game and he goes and pays of his games in installments, he's paid in full for the limited ed. i'm trying to get hold of him.

Shopto - £65

"If you have a pre-order, GAME will refund you via in-store credit, rather than with cash."

How can they get away with that?

no they can't they have to refund in the way paid for unless without proof of how it was purchased.

Hopefully Amazon will be able to stock it as well.

It says they will in the article but there is no mention of it on the site. 

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON

Cheers Lew, just pre-ordered this. Glad as i didnt have one pre-ordered with game.

Says Amazon on there as well. If it does it I'll be tempted to switch to the Collectors Edition as I have a gift voucher balance on there.

Seems the only place to get this pre-ordered is online now...shocking state of affairs

I'll pop into GAME probably on Friday to pre-order "Asura's Wrath" and probably "Mass Effect 3".

We'll see if there's any truth to these internet rumours then.

Gamestation will not be stocking any copies of ME3 according to my local branch five minutes ago, so no pre order for me from them.  Asda or Blockbuster here I come,  not happy.   From now on I will not be supporting my local gamestation shop Asda or Blockies can have my cash.

lol...these arent rumours Az....its happened, its true. I just spoke with my local Game Station and they have confirmed it, they will not be selling ME3 or any future EA titles, any pre-orders deposits will be refunded as store credit and with Game Station, an extra 500 points on your loyalty card as a "sorry"

For a person with more than a modicum of intelligence I really wonder about you sometimes, or alternatively you really are an underestimated troll.

See...if you dont use Twitter you miss out Az

If that's right why is it not available on Amazon.co.uk?

Thanks a lot Lew for providing the shopto link, ordered it and cancelled my game pre order.

Twitter's the place that broke the news that THQ shut down.

Unfortunately no one told THQ.

It's a place for attention seekers who post hyperbolic crap to try and get noticed.

You can't buy the Collector's edition on Shopto.net either.

Like Amazon they only offer you a free assault rifle with your pre-order.

Az

EDIT

I checked out the link above and that works.  When you do a straight search for Mass Effect 3 it doesn't take you there.

Wierd.

Thanks for the link then.

Az

I've just switche my N7 preorder to Play. Hope they get the N7 pack, as they seem to be the only one with the battle rifle bonus

Yes you can AZ, its here

@Az

Its not just the collectors edition anymore its any edition.  Game or Gamestation will not have any copies.

lol...oh Az, Twitter sounds like just the very thing for you, its a match made in heaven

cokney play nice. Az Pointyhead also posted this. do you think he would post about rumors?

Indeed you can.  Thanks for that.

No worries AZ, for some reason I can't quote peoples posts which is annoying

I would imagine though that they have just split the allocated number of the N7 edtions which Game and Gamestation were going to sell between Amazon, Play, Zaavi and Shopto. So their going to run out fast in the next week I would think as Bioware stated that they couldn't make anymore in time for the release date because of the art book if I remember

Yey ! !

jumped on the shopto preoder soon as they posted it on twitter. My day off work is so worth it now.

This seems like a big nail in Games coffin.

Just come off the phone from speaking to Shopto, they are not doing any bonus pre order DLC for the N7 edition that they are aware of. So that means no N7 warfare pack which Game was doing as a pre order bonus. Best to check what the other 3 sites are going to be doing DLC for pre orders.

So where on earth have all the N7 warfare packs gone then? probably some Game employee is going to flog them all on Ebay

I think I might have got 2 bundles of reward points, in addition to my fiver back. Manager at Oxford Street Branch was printing off the instructions as I arrived, and made an error :)

Oh, and I managed to get the collectors edition I did not manage to get with Game.

All told, pretty good for me!

Bah still nothing up on Amazon.co.uk
