Mass Effect (finally) has a release date [UPDATE] photo

#Mass Effect #Role Playing Games #Simply Amazing #Xbox 360

It’s official! Mass Effect, one of the most anticipated games for the Xbox 360 (besides that Halo thing), will be shipping on June 5.

I would tell you I am excited for this game, but I have to make this quick since I am on my way to a Commander Shepard cosplay fitting. I am trying on my Adept armor today, so I definitely can’t be late.

In 68 days, 8 hours, and 26 minutes, I, for one, will be a very happy man. But, hey, who’s counting?

[UPDATE: This release date may not be offical yet. So for now I am calling this a rumor. If it turns out to be correct than I can put on my "you heard it here first" face. If it is completely wrong you all can just punch me in my face. Fingers croossed for the former.]

Oohhh, 68 days, 8 hours, and 23 minutes now! It's almost here!!

Ignus

Oh man. This is turning to be a damn good day!
And yes, it will be the best summer ever.

junkie

Just went and added it at gamefly. I like to pretend that I'm more likely to get sent a game on its release date if I've had it in my Q longer than other people.

Sphinx 13

Yeah I can't wait for this

synce

I can never get into games like this but damn does it look beautiful.

BFeld13

Crap. I though June would be my free month. Oh well.

glg20decoy

BOOYA!!!! Best news all day:)

harelo

MOTHER FUCKING YES!!!!

Dot

Eh, I know a lot of people are bound to disagree with me, but from all that I heard, something tells me that we'll get yet another very generic, bland and cliched Bioware RPG here.

Yes, I will still buy it, but I am ready to face disappointment.

Dot

ShinAmano

Wow...this is sooner then I thought...great news.

Jordan Devore

Hell yeah

SourceDecay

boners!!!

i didn't much get into jade empire for whatever reason, but this one looks like the win.

youngteam

So the EBgames dates was really damn close.

TheRob91

68 days, 6 hours, and 36 minutes

bmdubya

Hell yeah I can't wait.
Wow, think about it. In the game you control the ship called the Normandy. On June 6th, one day after the game comes out, the Allies landed on the beaches of Normandy in 1944. Coincidence? I think not!

teknohed

Shit...I have to finish God of War II, Legend of Zelda, Lost Planet, Oblivion, and Fear by then or I will NEVER finish them.

Mabec

Hmm, whats your source Chad?

Chad Concelmo

I usually get this kind of information from the little voices in my head (translation: Wired).

Mabec

Thanks, good boy.

king3vbo

SW33T!!!

ArrestedDeveloper

Yup, I got just got an erection. This is the game I am most excited for this year, even more so than halo.

ttaylor

Sw33t!!!

LostCrichton

Awesome...I can't wait for this game!

Ignignokt01

errhhhmmmm...

that's awesome and all, but it'd be nice if you cited a source, or ... just something?

vgfreak30

yay my next 360 game. Man it looks like im going to blowing alot of money on my wii60 this summer.

CreamyGoodness7

yeah an official source would be good I just got raped over at the gamespot fourms about sputtering biblical nonsense like... ALRIGHT MASS EFFECT YAHHH!, but the official website says nothing so...Is this b*** s*** or not?

ArrestedDeveloper

He listed the source in the comments, it was Wired

jayen

Well Wired got it from gamersreport.com, which in turn got the news from playerone.be, which apparently pulled that piece of news out of thin air (too be kind).

Here's the news straight from the people at Bioware.com!
