Descriptions of pre-order exclusive armours from Bioware website:

Inferno Armour from Amazon.co.uk

Inferno Armor

Used by officers to monitor battlefield conditions the suit is able to recognize elevated heart rates and pupil movement in people close by, almost acting like a lie detector. This same array also monitors the officer and regulates sub-systems with extreme efficiency to allow for greater response times.

* negotiation bonus 10%
* all power damage 10%
* increases storm speed by 10%



Terminus Armour from Play.com

The Terminus armor is environmentally sealed with an independent air supply for use in space and extreme planetary conditions, with an onboard "micro-frame" computer capable of running a suite of battle management software. To prevent detection by passive thermal sensors, body heat is channeled to the base of the feet, where it can be dispersed into the ground.

* Increases sprint speed by 10%
* All weapons have +1 magazines of reserve ammo
* Increase shields + 15%

£34.49 for the 360 version on coolshop (I can't really vouch for them, though...)

Think I'll be buying it from Amazon - if they drop the price again before release then you'll only pay the lower price:) (plus you get some nifty red armour!)

Cool. Will throw that into the list.

Am I the only one that didn't like the first one?

Nope, quite a few people disliked it.
For me it was a 10/10 game, despite the bugs and stupid elevator loading sections... Pre-ordering this one is a no brainer for me

Pre-ordered this from Amazon back in August. It didn't have the armor download back then, so happy days. I hope the price won't go up when the UK VAT rate increases from 15% to 17.5%, in the new year.

They also have Dead Rising 2 for £29.99, have that on pre-order too.

I'm the same. Have a pile of games I've never finished... but I've obsessively cleared Mass Effect more than once!

The terms and conditions indicate that you get the cheapest price from when you order it to when it's released. So they can't charge you more than the price you agreed when you pre-ordered whatever the VAT rate does.

So weird like. I just couldn't get into it at all.

I loved the first one at the time, but after playing dragon age and fallout 3 ... I tried going back recently to play ME again and I had to stop. So many minor irritations just ruining the game for me

Fnz

Is it just me, or are those pre-order prices (for PC at least) nothing special? Fwiw, the Amazon price for the PC version, with the Irish vat rate, is actually closer to €32.

Yeah, hopefully they've fixed the niggles.

Mr Freeze

No sign of a collectors or special edition any where?

EDIT: its on Game.co.uk.....Same as Dragon Age, seems to be the only place that has it.
