That's awsome..

Wish it was out now to take my mind off my dead PS3 and lack of Demons Souls and Uncharted 2.

i know the core fans of ME will buy this game regardless of the release date but in terms of attracting new customers this really seems like bad timing to me. just too close to the holiday's i would think for many people to be looking for a new game.

This is very interesting. Two months after Dragon Age? Seems a bit early doesn't it?



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Yes! So glad it's not March or something.

First day purchase for sure, although I'm hoping Bioware fixed the technical issues that plagued the last one.

Yeah just a bit. I played alot of RPG's in my time. Mass Effect grabbed you, swirled you around and wouldn't let you go. Amazing game that I just cant wait to continue. Also my character is awesome. Cant wait to continue to use my character. Oh man. FM3, ME2, SCC, Alan Wake all before June next year. Plus, MGS4, Uncharted and KZ2. I'm in heaven.
