As my fellow Canadian Mass Effect fans likely recall, there was a bit of a debacle involving the Collector’s Edition of the original Mass Effect here in the Great White North. That is to say it wasn’t available to us Canuckleheads until FutureShop and BestBuy, hearing the pleas of Canadian fans, came to the rescue by offering it through their online stores. It was a victorious day for Canadian gamers everywhere!
With Mass Effect 2 orbiting around the corner, and the new-found marketing budget of Electronic Arts now supporting BioWare’s releases, I am happy to announce that the Collector’s Edition will be available in Canada – no pleading necessary! However, finding it may be a little tricky, especially if you’re a PC gamer and like games that come in boxes. So we have decided to post a short guide to finding the Collector’s Edition, and will update it regularly as new information becomes available.
Xbox 360
EBGames.ca (boxed retail version)
GamersGate
Steam (officially announced, but not yet available for pre-order)
I was told by both BestBuy and FutureShop employees that the game should be made available soon through their respective online stores, but I have yet to receive official confirmation. Additionally, EBGames will take pre-orders for the Collector’s Edition in their brick and mortar stores as well, but why not make use of their shiny new website?
As stated above, we’ll keep this post updated to include additional retailers as they are discovered. If you know of a retailer that will be offering the Collector’s Edition that is not on our list, let us know in the comments below and we’ll add it as soon as possible. Happy hunting!
