I'm pissed off that i'm on vacation with my girlfriend and won't get to play the game until next week. I keep bringing it up to her as an example of how much I love her, but she doesn't seem to understand the sacrifice i'm making for her.

^^ Your relationship (like all relationships) has obviously evolved past the pussy >>>> than video games stage.

Collector's edition for 360 back in stock at Amazon if you need it!

Aside from the fact that my standard copy is already shipping, I don't want EA getting more of my cash for their shady practices. Besides, I couldn't care less about cases and lithographs. I'd be paying $20 for the extra character, some guns, and a robotic dog.

yep. i may buy the DLC because i want the full game, but i won't be happy about it. i don't need to spend another $10 for extra crap that isn't needed.

I think I'll play it through once without the DLC character, then wait till he goes on sale and do my second playthrough with the new character.

sooo many loading screens...snore

My CE shipped from Amazon along with the CE guide.

I haven't read through the whole thread, so what is all this about DLC?

No worries, you're good to go. Well, except for entering 2 separate codes and waiting for stuff to download.

I don't even know what comes with the CE other than it's a steelbook.

Some new character. People were bitching about it earlier in the thread.

My Amazon order shipped!

Mine too, via UPS, which means I won't be seeing it until 4pm tomorrow at the earliest. To Target I head in the morning!

I have class the first half of the day anyway.

Damn UPS. Oh well, it'll give me time to brew beer in the AM.

Limited keys for a free Sniper rifle. PC only. Have to register an account with Alienware.

Yeah, my UPS doesn't get to me 'till around 7-8 pm. And since I got the CE, I just have to wait. #firstworldproblems

installing the first 360 disc now...

I get out of work at about 11:30. There's a Gamestop right outside (the one I used to manage, actually). They're almost certainly doing a midnight launch. I could get it in an hour...but I have class in the morning. Son of a bitch.

Decided to go for it. Importing Femputer Shepard from ME1/2 now.

Target still hasn't shipped mine.

My Assault Rifle DLC code from Amazon (only the one weapon, nothing else) just sold for $25 on eBay. Just FYI for anyone who'd rather have nearly half the cost of the game back than one completely replaceable virtual weapon.

10 from Game Informer

9.5 from IGN

Fuck. I didn't even think of that before redeeming. Oh well.

I didn't think of that before redeeming either. Is it just me, or does the Argus rifle completely suck?

Walked into Best Buy this morning and picked up the Collector's Edition. So my anti-preordering stance can remain completely intact.
