Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, with the release date for Mass Effect 2 coming ever closer, let's lave a look at what you can get if you pre-order this masterpiece now:

Pre-ordering Mass Effect 2 from GameStop, you'll get:

• The Terminus Armor, which is designed for use in extreme planetary conditions, increasing run speed and personal shields, and augmenting weapons with an additional magazine of reserve ammo.
• The M-90 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon generates a high-powered localized gravity well, accelerating particles to near-infinite mass, and ultimately expanding the selection of heavy weapons available to players when they gear up for combat missions in Mass Effect 2.

Pre-ordering from other retailers in North America will get you:

• The Inferno Armor, which is used by officers to monitor battlefield conditions by recognizing elevated heart rates, and regulates sub-systems with extreme efficiency to allow for greater response times – together these abilities translate in-game into a negotiation bonus for Commander Shepard and an increase in run speed and augmented damage from combat powers.

If you pre-ordered Dragon Age:Origins, then you would have gotten a code for:
• The Blood Dragon Armor, of which I haven't been able to get any stats on. (please tell me if you find any stats or already know them)

Now, for the Collector's Edition:
•The Collector's Edition will cost you $69.99, just $10 more than the Regular Edition.
•Along with the game disk & manual, you will also get a metal game case, a 48-page hardcover "Art of Mass Effect 2" book, Issue 1 of the Mass Effect Redemption comic book, and a bonus DVD with behind-the-scenes and making-of videos.
•Besides some neat swag, you will also get in-game Collector's Edition weapons, armor, and content that includes other items and possible planets/side missions.

as always, wonderful infos...thanks abig lots! wink
(And I'm still looking into the dragon armor...considering how powerful it is in Dragon Age origin, if it is the same in mass effect, it'S gonna be powerful. The requirement are high and you only start with the chestplate in dragon age origin (And you don,t get enough strenght towear it till later. YOu must buy the boots, gloves, helm. Best indicators I can give so far...but it is really one of the best armor for a melee.)

I am so excited for this game! I'm not usually one to pre-order games, but this one is special. ^_^

Two? Damn, I thought games didn't do that anymore. Last I saw a game had to do that was on the PS1.

Bad news and good news.

Good news is my brother did pre-order Mass Effect 2 for me for a birthday present (turning 18 in a month. God I feel old.). Bad news is that apparently the Collector's Edition was only available for a very limited time (as in a few days or so after they announced the Collector's Ed.), so I'm getting the standard deal w/ ol' lemon head, Commander Constipated & probably going to be like Ash Williams lady.

GameStop always tricks me, they're like, "Did you want to pre-order Mass Effect 2?" and I go "I do want to pre-order Mass Effect 2!" and then come the day I pick up my game I realize there was a Collectors Edition for the game, and that it had way cool stuff. Somehow I always forget most these big games usually come out with a Collectors Edition which are worth getting if you love the game. Ah well, at least I got the Terminus gun.
