VPN = Win.
From the BF3 FB page
"When Mass Effect 3 launches on March 6 (9 in EU), Battlefield 3 players who’ve activated their BF3 online pass will automatically have access to an exclusive human soldier kit, inspired by Battlefield 3’s awesome aesthetic. The kit will automatically be granted when you sign into the Mass Effect multiplayer using the same Origin account linked to your BF3 Online Pass."

Not long to wait now 
Can't wait to play the game now and kick some reaper rear side =]
Buy game - Pirate DLC's
Mods won't like that but they are already screwing people over

Pretty much what Neil said.

All I will say is that I know exactly what I'm doing with regards the DLC once the game turns up (from Amazon so might not be until Saturday or even Monday 12th :|)

Wont Origin's "all seeing eye" put the skids on that? I wouldn't risk it.
IF I get it, which is looking less likely all the time, it'll be when it's 50% or something.
The multiplayer is fun... but lag issues really **** it over and seriously buggy sometimes. Just had a game where I spent 2 rounds 'falling' from the ceiling over and over and generally glitching like mad, before eventually falling through the floor to the very bottom of the map where I got to watch the last 2 rounds play out without me.

For those of us who aren't so technically proficient, how do you set up these VPNs? The instructions in that link on the last page didn't work.

You're using the wrong region, Asia gets it first, again. Use Hong Kong or Korea or something.

1. Download FlyVPN
2. Get the Free trial username and password from here: http://www.flyvpn.com/freetrial
3. Log in to Origin under your NORMAL IP. This is important.
4. When Origin is loaded up go to your VPN and connect, pick the Asia tab at the top and pick Hong Kong
5. Click play on Mass Effect 3, it'll do the date and time check
6. When it's activated disconnect from the VPN
7. Exit Origin and turn it back on again
8. Enjoy the game before nearly everyone else.

Awesome! Do EA mind if you unlock through vpn? surely they must notice if people are unlocking early.
