Not in cash, unfortunately.

Customers with pre-orders will be given £5 worth of Reward Card/Elite points.

That's a shame.

I'm not too bothered if I don't get the CE. It would've been nice to have the bonus stuff though.

Plus if I just get a normal copy it would save me quite a lot of money anyway.

I'll be happy if they at least have the normal ones in stock so I can get it on release day.

That message is up on their website now: http://www.game.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/HubArticleView?hubId=93018&articleId=137297&catalogId=10201&langId=44&storeId=10151

Edit: but yeah, it's still available to buy on their website!

The reward card/elite points are additional to a full deposit refund: http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/142/14235014/img_8858261.html :smile:

"and, of course, if you have placed a deposit with us, you'll receive a full refund."

Just read their message. So they wont have any ME3 copies at all?

Would it be better to buy a copy at HMV? Or would I have better luck getting it on amazon?

And my order is still active. For the moment, like.

Zavvi have it a tiny bit cheaper than Game did or Play.com have it, and this is the N7 Collector's Edition I'm talking about. Just preordered it. I wonder what will happen to those nice exclusives Game were meant to be getting... :colonhash:

They won't have any copies available.

I had a look at other websites that are stocking the N7 edition and found to some amusement on Amazon: Due to high demand (and possibly the imminent Reaper invasion), we have unfortunately run out of our pre-order allocation for Mass Effect 3 - Collector's Edition.

and I'm right in guessing Gamestation won't have any either? :frown:

Well I just pre-ordered the normal copy on amazon. Good thing I read this thread.

Thanks to everyone who brought this to attention. Otherwise I would've been left completely let down next week :frown:

Was that Amazon.com because .co.uk have never had it up that I can see. However, I love that quote. :ahee:

Probably not as they are owned by Game. Just preorder it from Zavvi or Play.com quickly.

I was actually a doofus and didn't get around to preordering the CE until this week, long after it had sold out. So from a selfish point of view, I'm relieved.

But it's pretty shocking and monumental news. I'm not sure what GAME have left to see with no Nintendo, no Sims and no FIFA.

.co.uk guys just don't share the .com guys' sense of humour. :frown:

I'm seeing a possible 'Borders' like collapse for Game.

I recommend anyone who has to pre-order from a new retailer goes for play. Last two times I pre-ordered from there I got the game a day before release. Batman and Kingdoms of Amalur were the games.

zavvi sent me an email saying double reward points on all EA products. Their definitely taking advantage of GAME's issues, like any competitive company should. Is zavvi good for pre-orders though, when I got LA Noire it was a day late :angry:
