This went from a Pre-purchase to a Day 730 purchase, because that would probably be when the ultimate edition comes out on Steam.

Dammit EA.

Can’t wait have the signature edition plus two more items and then all the original content. Stick it to the retailers EA.

Steam really missed the boat this time… It wasn’t possible to pre-order the Signature Edition from there, so now you get to pay the same price for fewer bonuses.

I really don’t know what to think about this game. Not much gameplay videos, and not much hype neither. And it’s coming out very soon…i just don’t get it.

Is it just me, or are people missing the point the ingame items and stuff, as in the one use code with new copies, is the same as ME2′s Cerberus Network. It’s EA’s way to combat the second hand scene and get around DRMs.

Personally I think this is a much better way to do it as opposed to the likes of Ubisoft’s constant net connection to be allowed to play ye games on PC.
