The physical items included in the CE ”cannot be made in time for launch.” Priestly adds it’s why he ”started warning people” back in November to make sure they pre-order.
The Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector’s Edition, priced around £60 to £70 in the UK, has sold out on a number of US retailer websites. Amazon.com has already stated they’ve run dry of allocations.
”Sorry, there simply cannot be any more physical CEs made before launch,” posted Chris Priestly.
”The items included in the physical edition cannot be made in time for launch. Sorry, it will not happen. This is why, back in November, I started warning people that the CE would run out.” As an alternative he suggested fans should look to the digital edition for all the bonus in-game goodies if you can’t secure the N7 Collector’s Edition.
If you’re in the UK then the N7 Collector’s Edition is still available for pre-order at GAME.
