Nice to see this thread living strong. I've a quick question. I've praised the ME games to my brother for years now, but he still haven't gotten around to actually try it out. I noticed that Origin has a sale on the ME Trilogy for ~500SEK, so I figured I'd order it for him. I'm a bit confused though since there's no "Purchase" button, only a "Preorder".

http://store.origin.com/store/eaemea...ctID.257846700

It seems it autoselected Swedish as language, and I can't seem to find a way to switch it to english before linking it, but Köp = Buy, Köp nu = Buy now, Förboka = Preorder. There are "Buy now" buttons for other games though, why is this a Preorder?

I'm not sure, though when I click the link it redirects me to the English store, so I can't go the Swedish store and use Google Translate to check it out.

**Gravath** · 2012-10-25, 02:49 PM

Because its a special set, not actually all 3 games with one button.
I suggest pre-ordering it, i guess that they are gonna include something with it (possibly the DLCs?) or they are just working on something.
Heres to hoping Origin will include ME1/2 with DLCs with their sweet DLC install system.

Damn sweet offer.

And does the "Buy"-button say Buy, or Preorder for you?

The main part of my concern is, when will I get it once I've ordered it? I could find no info on a time or date, I'm just used to paying and start playing, now I don't know if it's tomorrow or in May next year I'll actually get what I paid for. I'm also a bit confused about all 3 games already being out, what's there to pre-order exactly? O_o

edit:
<insert random Origin hate> I had to google for information, according to this article, it'll be released the 6th of November. So makes sense it's a preorder now, though makes less sense the release date wasn't included in the info in the Origin store.

**Grizzly Willy** · 2012-10-25, 03:42 PM

It says pre-order, should have checked that.

Oh man.

EA also announced N7 Day, a "worldwide celebration of the Mass Effect franchise" that of course takes place on November 7.

What the hell?

Bullshit. Got sync-killed while "invulnerable" mid-charge.

Operation VALKYRIE (Oct. 26th – 28th)

An elite asari unit recently recovered shipments of Alliance weapons that had been intercepted by Cerberus. The weapons will soon be delivered to the front lines where they belong. With fresh supplies and skilled reinforcements, we were able to increase the number of targets planned for our next assault.

Individual Goal: Earn 100,000 points using N7 promotional weapons (Valiant, Hurricane, Crusader, Eagle) on any map at any difficulty. The four weapons may be used in combination. Points will be cumulative. Extraction is not required.

Reward: Commendation Pack

Other: The N7 Valkyrie assault rifle will be added to the list of possible commendation pack items.

Don't want the Valkyrie...

Can't they remove the Crusader/Eagle/Hurricane too?

Meh, I have the class, just don't want more weapons from the pack that aren't the Valiant.

**Scorage** · 2012-10-25, 06:34 PM

What is going on with the Valiant love? Seriously, its not a great gun.

The screenplay handed to a fan? Is that really a good idea? I guess it depends on his writing ability. On the plus side, you have someone who really cares about the material. On the other hand, it might not be up to professional standards.

Banshee's popping through walls then insta-grabbing.

You mean I have to chose between The One Free Man and Commander Shepard?

Why can't they be together? President Shepard and VP Freeman, or vice versa? Come on . . . My two favorite video game protagonists . . .
