Quick question , does anyone know if the UK are going to get shafted again like the Dragon Age collectors edition? By that I mean not fitting the full description from the official website like the DA cloth/tin case

i would imagine it is retailer specific? i dont know about the da issue but i do have a preorder held with **** for the collectors edition, what was the deal with dragon age?
 
About DA, there was no metal box and no cloth map.

I'm going to wait till there is something set in stone before i preorder it myself, if they do give us the finger again, then it's regular edition for me.
 
To be fair, the Dragon Age Collector's Edition was the same price as standard; so it's not as if we were shafted too hard. Still, it would have been nice to have the option of better stuff even for a higher cost.

The Mass Effect 2 Collectors Edition is a GAME group (GAME, Gameplay) exclusive that is £10 more expensive (£40) but it includes a comic, hardcover art book, making-of DVD, ingame armour and membership to some sort of online ingame content feed.
 
DA:CE was a Game excluse and it was £10-15 more, at least up until I cancelled the preorder, which was only a few days previous to launch.
 
Yeah it was a GAME exclusive, but it was the same price as the standard edition by the time it launched.

I bought a copy instore on the morning of release (due to the Steam fiasco), and it was the same price (£30) both instore and online as the standard edition.

DA ce was still £40 at release
 
It was £30 instore (I know, because I bought a copy). I thought they'd also discounted it online at that point, but I guess not.

Either you was lucky to get it for 30 or the price was wrong , I still have my email from the 20th nov

Qty MediaID Description Price Total
1 343169 Dragon Age: Origins GAME Exclusive ... 39.99 GBP 39.99 GBP

DELIVERY: 0.00 GBP
TOTAL: 39.99 GBP

but its still not the point it didnt match the description from the official website
 
I must admit I was surprised that it was only £30 when I bought it. They only had the standard edition on the shelf, but I asked for the CE and he got one from behind the counter and said it was the same price as the standard edition.

It's a bit strange on their part to sell the game £10 cheaper instore than on their website though. It's usually cheaper online.

Fair point on the website description though. It was a bit of a balls-up in truth, and it would have been nice to have had the cloth map and tin case.

In this case (Mass Effect 2) I think we're getting the same content in the box as everyone else.
