    So apparently the Squadmate DLC comes with alt costumes for all your squadmates.

    Not sure if secret squadmate gets one since I don't see them but here is a link to them. We've already seen Vega's, Kaiden's, and Liara's.

    http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/9540838

    Ashley and Visor have some goofy looking glasses.


    Dammit Bioware! What is your obsession with stupid-ass goggles and visors.

    Its all preparation for the Bioware accessory line, soon to debut in stores in Miami, and then across the globe.

    You heard it here first, folks.
    The glasses are biodegradable and non-toxic. They do not block uv radiation or reduce glare. They also cost twice as much as regular sunglasses and dissolve when exposed to sweat.

    I'm actually looking forward to seeing how life goes on even in the face of total annihilation. Just because something is happening on the other side of the galaxy doesn't mean every single civilization or every single person in the universe will drop everything and prepare for war. Someone will still want to make a profit, someone will still want to fight over petty squabbles, and someone will insist that they need to look after their own interest for when this "all blows over".

    Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, Liara walks into mine.

    Okay I'm super late on the uptake with this one. College student funding blah blah

    Does anyone know where I can still pre-order the collectors edition for the PC online?

    I'd like the Gamestop bonus, but they seem to be all out

    very annoyed about this not being stocked by Game, ive only ever pre-ordered 2 games in my life. 1 was Dragon age 2 to get the special edition of that, turned out that none were sent to my town at all between all the shops/supermarkets that stocked it - and the other is this one, that now I can't get the collector edition because of shitty Game and every other site being sold out.
    Now I get to hope Tesco or Asda stock it.

    try amazon.co.uk and search for mass effect 3 n7 collectors edition

    make sure you add n7 in there or it wont show up for some reason, all 3 platforms were still in stock as of 2 hours ago.

    edit: eh sorry just checked, amazon 360 and pc versions have gone, damn that was quick. glad to have got in there fast.

    surprised by the pc version selling out though, that usually never happens as of recently.

    Considering one of the pictures from the From Ashes DLC shows Vega (and Kaidan) in those armor sets, but without the weirdo glasses, I think this is probably the case. Said picture (not spoilery):
    Mass_Effect_3_From_Ashes_13303140376442.jpg

    I just like to think that Vega's quirk is that he loves weird eye things, like in the CE alt outfit pack:

    Chances aren't good. PC versions followed 360 in going out of stock most places a few weeks ago. For future reference, Amazon doesn't charge until they process the order around ship time, so you could have 'reserved' one a long time ago without any cash and cancelled at any time.

    So apparently Gamestop is doing this thing where you can pay $10 down to "pre-order" all the digital content that comes with the Collector's Edition, and you can get the code from their Power Up Rewards site at midnight of the day the game is released. So yeah, People who have Collector's Edition DLC envy should make a note of this.

    Apparently he has a deep and intricate backstory of some kind that no one ever talks about even in spoilers.

    I have grown intrigued by this.

    Also, RE: Special outfits for squadmates in Collector's edition chat.
    Garrus and Tali's new outfits are disappointing because they look just like a Black and Desert Camo reskin. Ashley and Vega's are terrible with the crazy glasses. Kaiden's is pretty cool though, so its probably worth it just for that.

    Also super secret Squadmember has the best one, though I'm not sure its better than the usual look.

    Dammit... I had way too much fun dressing just one Space Barbie.

    Hell, hell, I even had the two appearance packs and used them for certain missions, situations. (ie, Grunt wore his normal clothes, unless I took him to a fight, then he got his AR glasses, same with Miranda. Except Jack, she got a shirt ASAP.)

    I confirmed it myself when I went to the store. They asked me if I wanted to put the $10 towards it.

    Wow... really, alot of the places that had it last week (and I'm talking places without a pre-order bonus) are out now. The only place I KNOW of that has it right now is target.com, and I'd order quickly. Kmart.com and buy.com ran out not too long ago and I figured they'd hold out a while because of the lack of pre-order bonus.

    Yeah The last company to have it was blockbuster and they sold out in roughly the time it took for me to see someone post "blockbuster still have it" with a link and then clicking on that link. I'm a sad man today :(

    Speaking of the CE. These alt outfits that are part of the "From Ashes" mission, are they a new version of the CE outfits? Or does the CE come with these outfits, and the others that were announced a while ago?

    They're separate, so the CE comes with two sets of alt outfits thanks to the squadmate DLC having one in addition to the CE set.

    The bottom line is, get the CE or the N7 edition however you can because there's actually a lot of game content in there as opposed to just useless real-world junk.

    I just played the most awesome pubbie game. We were doing a round of silver on the noveria map, and about wave 5 our vanguard starts floating so it's just three of us left to do the whole round. this awesome dude playing an infiltrator single-handedly got us through wave 7 and after that the three of us pulled through to full extraction, as the glitched vanguard had glitched in the extraction zone. seriously epic.

    If I remember right, when you talk to her after recruiting her (or when she first mentions the loyalty mission), she says she took the files herself regardless of what you wanted.

    Here's a comparison shot between IGN's version and another video's:
