UK Dragon Age Origins Buyers Getting Shafted...

UK Dragon Age buyers appears to be getting shafted in lots and lots of ways:

1. UK Collector's Edition doesn't come with a map or tin case, and it is only sold at Game.
2. UK Digital Deluxe Edition doesn't come with the bonus items that're in all the other region's because they're exclusive to Game.
3. It's a large possibility that the Regular Edition buyers are going to get shafted by not getting Blood Dragon armour / The Stone Prisoner DLC. This would make the Collector's Edition the only one worth buying if the gamer's want to get DLC, too. Every other region gets them free.

If you've preordered it, I'd really advise you to post on there about you being pretty pissed off and maybe cancelling your preorder. This is a disgusting, underhanded business move by EA to fuck over UK gamers.

That is all.

OH NOES!! How will UK gamers get their useless overpriced crap now?

Useless overpriced crap and DLC that's been promised to every other region for free.

I'm not buying the Collector's Edition, because EA are terrible people. But, I'm attempting to buy the regular edition and not getting the DLC that's being given to EVERY other region? THAT'S ridiculous.

UK huh? Can't you just import something from mainland Europe then? Also, I only looked at it briefly, but I didn't see Steam mentioned.

Depends, would you like to play your game in Spanish?

Multiple language options seems to be getting rare these days, which is a serious problem when importing from Europe.

Everything is ok.

I know, this is very frustrating for me. I've already pre-ordered the regular edition since the UK CE didn't seem worth it. Fucking EA. I sent a message to GAME and they replied saying that Blood Dragon Armor and Stone Prisoner are only in Collectors Edition.

 

[GideonB]

Yeah but aren't all of the GOOD collectors edition copies of games linked to GAME? That's what I always thought.

I'm probably an utter tool for getting the collectors edition from Game and cancelling my pre-order for the regular version from Amazon... but what the hell, I always go economy and this is one game I've been stoked for, for so long that it's worth the extra.

I'm not even allowed to cancel preorders at my local gamestop
I can only move the preorder to another game

I read on the DA forums that the English version is on all other versions too(maybe there are some exceptions, but I don't recall that).

Oh sunshine and daisies. We get screwed over again.

What the UK getting shafted shock and or horror!

I expected something like this, may aswell get the cheapass retail version and just buy the dlc then whatever wont be any cheaper to import.

Oh my god. Did they make you pay for it in advance too? Because that's not how it's meant to work. Seriously, they can't tell the customer what to do.

Also, all you English tosspots need to stop screaming and just buy it off Steam instead. You guys are making it sound like GAME is the only option you have.

yeah they did lol
but I guess it's not too bad as long as I eventually move it to a game I really do want
but then again, pre-ordering on Amazon.com gives you credit for doing so...drat

The STEAM version has stuff cut out that is in for every other country because GAME made a deal with EA. So the UK is getting less for more.
