What are the participating stores? merchants?

^ EB is apparently one of the companies hosting the deal.

And a five minute behind the scenes documentary? These documentaries on bonus discs seem to keep getting smaller and smaller

Oh well the gamer pics and themes sound awesome. I'll be pre-ordering regardless.

You know what is funny? The JB-HIFI near me (macquarie centre) has had those pre-order offers on the shelf for about a 3weeks - month now....
I never looked into it though if they had the stock or not but it isn't just EB that have the offer by the looks of it.

I would have pre-ordered already if it was something more than what they are offering at the moment, plus I don't want to see anymore in-game footage...I've been spoiled enough by some of the amazing stuff I've seen on the Net in that game.

Also any news of a CE or LTD ed?

Pity we don't get the LE, but hopefully some nice Americans will upload a .pdf for us - still not the same though.

with the preorder being a letdown in all respects, the Limited "collectors" Edition might have been worth the extra few dollars, but we just won't know anything about it in australia, nor canada.

anyone know the RRP on this bad boy for nov 23?

or what the region coding is on the US version of Mass Effect ? (and/or a good place to buy it form the US ?)

EB have trade 3 games get it for $9.95 as well.

that's not too bad actually. especially since EB currently have a "Buy 2 get 1 Free" sale on their pre-owned titles already. you could probably get Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero and PGR3 (or some of the other games that were given away left, right and centre on launch) for cheap, and trade them straight back in.

according to EBGames.com.au:
Kameo Preowned: $35
PGR3: $20
PDZ: $25

it actually surprises me that Kameo is worth so much, given they gave so many copies away with Wireless Entertainment Packs and so on.
