Pre-orders (Official Thread)

Preordered 2 copies. Deluxe for me and standard for my bro. I've never regretted a preorder so much that I regretted pre ordering.

Love ME style gameplay, so even if the story fizzles I'll still find enjoyment.

In regards to the digital soundtrack, when does it become available? On the 21st? Or is the soundtrack playable as soon as you pre order?

Pre ordered the deluxe edition for xbox one off of xbox live last night.

An answer from anyone who knows would be greatly appreciated.

I preordered my Deluxe Edition yesterday from PSN.

I've pre-ordered at my local gameshop, but they don't have the physical deluxe edition for XONE. So I might pre-order digitally, so I can pre-load the game and don't have to waste half a day of my day off work.

A question for pre-loaders: How does this work on xbox? I can already download it but it's locked on a timer until the proper date? And only works if you connect online?

Depends what your expectations are relative to the marketing.  Looking at those games, I'm not sure which one wasn't great.  I'm a huge Fallout fan, so I was pre-disposed to loving it, but it was very well reviewed, ditto MGS5, Batman, Witcher 3 and DA:I.  Those were all, to a degree or another, objectively very good video games.  Not perfect, of course, but what game is?  I didn't care for Batman's combat, but that didn't mean that the graphics, story, etc. weren't very well done.  It's like looking at a piece of furniture.  You may not like it, you might not ever want to buy it and put it in your home, but that doesn't mean that it still can't be a very well-made, well-put together piece of furniture in it's own right.  It's just not to your taste.

I am, however, a big believer in the concept of "antici-pointment". If I build something up in my head to be SO AMAZING!!! that nothing can live up to it, I will be disappointed every time.  No Man's Sky, I'm looking in your direction. I loved the idea, I listened to the promises, I believed the hype, I ignored the warning signs (no reviews pre-release, CGI ads), and I built it up so that it was going to be the best game in years, maybe the decade. But that's my fault.  I chose how deep to go into the hype that I did pre-release.  Lesson learned.  By comparison, we've seen plenty of in-game footage, we've seen plenty of reviews, we've seen the studio's extensive resume. We know what we're getting here for better or worse. [/threadjack]

I did pre-order the Super-Ultra-Mega-Deluxe version.  In my younger, much poorer student days, I may have....not made the best choices about how I acquired the first two ME games.  I kinda feel like I owe them for that.  They gave me literally hundreds of hours of happiness, and these games aren't made for free.  It doesn't make up for earlier mistakes I made, but at least I can do the right thing going forward.

I pre-ordered yesterday, after suscribing to Access for a month. So... cheaper game, and get to play a bit earlier.

I am familiar with the mantra "never pre-order", but BioWare's games are the only ones I always buy anyways. Sure, DAI wasn't what I expected, but I would've played it anyways. ME3 had that ending thingy, but I would've played it anyways. So, since there's a pattern here, I feel like it barely makes any difference. And I get to pre-load, which is sweet since my connection sucks.

Yep I checked mine too. Then I discovered that the Super Deluxe is digital only. This will be the first game I've ever bought digitally; there's just something about that carcinogenic smell of a fresh game case I can't get enough of ya know?

Pre-loading available on consoles already, but PC pre-load on 16-18 March, probably because of piracy and data mining.

Really your pre-loading it ? *gasps and double checks Origin* It says for me "Windows pre-load date: March 17,2017 5:PM GMT"
Dunno but that's neat you got it pre loading already least you'll have it done well in advanced

Edit: Just saw UutIVvdPw7END0Ef post.

I don't ever Pre-Order anything, except Mass Effect. The only two games I've Pre-Ordered are Mass Effect 3:Collector's Edition and Mass Effect:Andromeda. I'm going to buy the game regardless of what other people or reviews say about it, so why not get some extra goodies with it. I Pre-Ordered the Deluxe edition for the extra doo-dads and gimmicks. The Super Deluxe Edition, however, is the sleaziest and most disgusting thing I've seen in regards to an enhanced edition of a game. It's $100+ and it offers everything in the Deluxe edition, with the only difference being weekly Multiplayer Booster packs. No way in hell would I buy such a ridiculous version lol.
