We have some sad news: If you wish to pick up a copy of the Mass Effect Limited Collector's Edition, you'll have to avoid retail at all costs. It appears the package will only be available online through EB Games/GameStop when it launches this November.
The package -- which was revealed earlier in the month -- contains all kinds of fancy goodies for your the Mass Effect fanatic in us all. From our original announcement post:
Those who shell out $69.99 for the Mass Effect Limited Collector's Edition will snag a book, Galactic Codex: Essentials, which will presumably be a streamlined race, character, and story index. You may or may not be able to get that information here, but don't tell anyone. Additionally, the package also ships with an art book, A Future Imagined, and a 2nd DVD with exclusive Mass Effect videos (Art of Mass Effect, Interactive Storytelling of Mass Effect).
While we're sure this version will be available used when people trade it in at your local retailer for crack money, we just wanted to give you a heads up. Pre-order now to avoid disappointment.

"So as not to cause any confusion, EB Games isn't the only place you can get the Mass Effect Limited Edition, you just won't be able to get in their stores. Whether or not it will be available at other brick and mortar locales remains to be seen."
anyway. I need to play this...
Fight the power!
OK, well, when you pick it up at a brick and mortar store, let us know!
GREAT job. On the upside, at least you're not a real newsman... er, or newswoman? Hell, I can't tell. Just work on basic fact checking before you post nonsense next time. Posting other blogger info, contrary to current popular belief, is not legitimate new gathering.
Oh wait. It's EBgames. I get it.

They aren't punishing anyone, they aren't trying to screw you etc.
Get over yourselves. It's just a store.
They are trying to punish and screw you over.
#1 - They have the audacity to open up new games and take out the disc which in my mind automatically makes the game used.
#2 - They offer a service which no one competes in really which buys your games at a 75% reduce rate, then turn around and sell it for a insane profit.
#3 - Never once have I been in the store without being asked if I wanted to pre-order a game. Once is ok, but when I politely say no, don't fucking ask me why not or try and push another game on me.
There's more but I'll save it for a post or something.
