Not nessisarily. I just managed to bag a copy on play.com. GAME and Gamestation *also sufferign this problem* have a link to a EA page that gives a list of websites still selling. http://www.ea.com/uk/1/mass-effect-3-update-1
Thats the page in general. However, if you're after a collectors edition, avoid amazon. Amazon is only stocking the regular version atm.

Well... Time to get my vouchers spent then! Lucky my ME3 preorder was free, though this does answer why so much of my local GAME's shelves has been taken over by preowned crap. Only one shelf is dedicated to new releases.
Hope they haven't pulled Catherine off the shelves as of yet. That would suck.
I feel like a rat jumping the sinking ship with a cart of discounted games... /sadface
Now, to Amazon!

Despite my opinion of GAME, which I've voiced on a couple of other threads on the subject, it's still not fun to watch this car-crash of a collapse unfold before our eyes.
Next it'll be every reward card holder panicking and going to use up ALL their reward point. That's stock going out the front door with painful (for GAME) amounts discounted. And that's just for the people who haven't built up enough points to get one or more games completely on redeemed points.
Then the whole house of cards will come tumbling down. I genuinely feel sorry for the poor sods who are now worried sick about their immediate future v/v employment.

This is great news for me 
ShopTo.net weren't stocking the CE of ME3, but I woke up this morning to find that they now are.
Cancelled my normal preorder and got myself a CE.
Good times all around. Well, unless you work for GAME

Well, no love for game but gamestation was one of my main places to getter older games since online, MOST of the time it is overpriced. If they do go i will miss my fun for a fiver
I wonder if gamefest had anything to do with it. I bet that stuff was expensive.

I can't deny that I'm feeling incredibly annoyed at this, especially since I'd pre-ordered the Collector's Edition last year and now I can't find one for the 360 anywhere...
These guys [http://www.shopto.net/] are still stocking the game.Sara Fontaine said:
They just got them in today. Looks like EA are redirecting all their stock.
They only seem to have the PS3 and PC Collector's Editions, and I'm after the 360 version since that was what I had orignally pre-ordered. Thanks for the link anyway though.Daystar Clarion said:
I had the same problem. Play has CE for PC and PS3, but not Xbox.Varrdy said:
Fortunately, Amazon has it. Quick panic over.
They must have sold out of those really quickSara Fontaine said:
I only preordered mine a few hours ago.

Most gamers know the industry, and know that GAME overcharge like you wouldn't believe.
The savvy gamers shop elsewhere.
Well arse. I bought Soul Calibur 5 from Gamestation because they were doing 35 quid trade-in within two weeks. I wanted to use that trade value for ME3. Now what? That was pretty much the only thing on my wants list for the forseeable future.
Joy.
Joy.
They can't get credit for new stock and have let down too many customers. I'm not personally affected, but
EDIT: Seems that they are giving out proper refunds after all.
Well no, because they haven't taken your money...MammothBlade said:
Anyway, now all you people who ordered the CE can join the rest of us complaining about the Day One DLC being another tenner! Won't that be fun?!
How did you manage that considering it hasn't been on there for months?! Enquiring minds want to know!nifedj said:
I take it your experiences with Game have been less than good?hazabaza1 said:
Does anyone know if this just effects the UK or is it all over? The article I read on BBC said it was only Games based in the UK but I am not entirely sure.
Wonder how much they were paying to stock new games. If it's anything like Gamestop, the profit they make on new sales would be in the low-single digits. Shame to see them go down because Publishers wouldn't simply offer them a better deal. Especially since GAME offered to share the profits from used sales if the publishers would offer a better deal on new games.
If they aren't giving people what they paid for and proceed to "refund" them with store credits, that is not satisfactory in my eyes. Honour your custom or give the money back.Loop Stricken said:
