I'm pretty sure there is no Digital Deluxe version of ME3 for consoles, since consoles don't offer digital distribution of brand new games.

Hilarious update ensues.. I asked EA support directly. Here's the reply:

"Please allow me to share that 'Ashes DLC' is available with Mass Effect 3 N7 Digital Deluxe Edition for Xbox and Ps3. It is not available for PC version."

So there you have it, guys.. Apparently no Ashes with the PC version. Though, to make me feel better, they kindly provided me with a 15% discount code for Origin - which alas cannot be used for pre-orders or new releases. But at least it's valid until the last day of the calendar month.. Which happens to be.. Uh.. Today..

I swear, I'm not making this up
Thanks, EA!

It was such a great blessing to all gamers when Bioware was bought by those incompetent sacks of shit.

So much for EA "promoting" digital, when they put more goodies into the actual box.

Well they certainly are over here. Digital Deluxe is $107, CE boxed is $143 most places

The DLC confusion surrounding this game is insane. Does the Digital Deluxe version include Ashes? Is that also the case when not bought directly through Origin? Bang up job by EA there, as evident by the people asking on forums everywhere. It's hard to be sure with the 10.000 different descriptions they're throwing around based on locale and outlet, but this tweet by Casey Hudson seems to confirm that it is indeed included: http://twitter.com/#!/CaseyDHudson/status/172724931149303809

Ok, so does anyone actually know whether the N7 Digital Deluxe Edition is including this stupid From Ashes DLC or not?

Damn EA support closed 3 of my support questions about this WITHOUT REPLY. For real Does anyone know?

And 2 more times for male vs female renegade/paragon.

And depending on how many influences me1/me2 saves have, it could even have a lot more re-playability... Not to mention that i need to do at least 1 playthrough where i actually lose the game instead of winning it.

So yeah.. I have my import saves prepared and ready.

It's worth it if you have 2 or 3 toons that have played through ME 1 & 2 and they make good on their promise that ME3 is going to have wildly different endgames based on your choices.

I'm not holding my breath, but it'd be pretty cool.

And rather than wasting more time arguing the obvious, let's look at the definitive example(s): How much does Valve charge for their own games in the UK/Australia?

From looking at the data, it seems that Valve games (Portal 2 being the recent example I used) are, in fact, priced "properly" for the local markets. So yup, you appear to be correct, it must be the publishers that are controlling the prices (it's worth noting boxed copies of Portal 2 were still extremely expensive).

It's not like Team Fortress 2 where you have to do an insane amount of grinding to get good items without paying.

I didn't really have trouble unlocking stuff in TF2 at all. It seemed like I unlocked at least one item in every session. And if I already had that item, I could just disassemble it for parts and craft the items I wanted or just trade for them. I'll take TF2's unlockable system over BF3 or CoD's unlockable systems any day.
