Mass Effect 3

Afraid I'm not the gamer in the family but once again I'm under pressure to supply the goods
Managed to get a good deal on Skyrim and Final Fantasy,so hoping not to go too far overboard on this one
Been reading that Game/Gamestation will not be stocking ME3
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/17210489 so I'm not sure if it's supply issues or something deeper

To be honest I think Game days are numbered and as Gamestation is owned by them as well they'll be going the same way. From what I've heard EA have refused to extend their buying credit, they're not stocking Ubisoft or Nintendo stuff either apparently.

Game/station are on death watch as far as I'm aware, that may be why *scratches chin*

I can't believe I've had ME3 on preorder for 9 months to only be told today they can't supply it!

Never used game online, I mainly use shopto for games when pre ordering, I'd say 99% of the time I've had the game the day before release.

This has caused quite a mess today as Game had (i think) exclusive rights to sell the collectors edition.

It was released to a few new suppliers by ea earlier today and has completely sold out again in the last 6 hours or so.

Be a shame if game and gamestation go I did not realise that they were in trouble
Been looking forward to me 3 really enjoyed the first 2
Got to finish skyrim first tho

Any body played Resistance 3? Gets good reviews and was £20 in sainsbury's. Ive not played any of the first 2 though. Shouldnt matter too much hopefully.

Cheers

Im glad someone has stuck this up, as despite Game's claims that they have emailed each and every customer, alot of people including myself have never received the email saying that they will not be stocking any EA releases such as Mass Effect 3, Fifa etc.

If anyone has any pre orders with Game for any EA releases, I strongly suggest you go into one of their stores and get a refund if you have paid a deposit or cancel your order if you pre ordered online.

Apparantly they are also offering £5 worth of reward points for the inconvienience, but I am unsure how useful this will be seeing as they seem to be loosing suppliers left right and centre. I have a feeling I will be using my large stockpile of reward points very shortly.

Don't do these midnight releases but now have a PS3 copy from Argos and £27* lighter in the wallet (* thankfully had a couple of free love2shop vouchers collecting dust )
