My N7 Collectors Edition (and model SSV Normandy SR2) just shipped :woot: it's so close now! can't wait :drool:

Its the 8th for us here in Oz :(

Collectors Edition is all sold out aswell...i'm hoping they have a few on the shelf at the local JB on Thursday though so I can pick it up then.

I know, feels like an age away..still due to the time different our American friends are only getting it a day earlier. As to getting yourself a Collectors Edition on launch day, considering alot of people cancelled their pre-orders over the Origin debarkle (for the PC version) and the more recent Prothean DLC debarkle, I'd say your chances of grabing a copy on Thursday are pretty good (Y).

Those benchmarks are not too promising..i hope my radeon 5850 can handle me3.

it can no problem. i have the same card. if you look up a bunch of benchmarks our card has more horsepower then a 6850 and if you OC it a bit it's faster then a 6870.

people who have used this garbage called origin before... do they do midnight releases? I.E. can I play me3 tonight at midnight?

WOW, wtf that's not "kinda" lame, that's complete bull****.

Now I wish I hadn't watched that. Yeah "spoilers", but the video says "Launch Trailer".

It's really unfortunate that you were spoiled by that video disguised as a launch trailer. :( I removed the link so no one else can get spoiled.

What was spoiler-ish about it?

I don't know for sure. I just heard a voice and assumed it was the ending of Mass Effect 3. Fortunately for me, I only watched a couple of seconds of it.

EDIT: For those that preloaded ME3 on Origin, you can unlock it with FLYVPN (see here). Some people did the same thing when Battlefield 3 was launched earlier in regions outside of North America and Europe. :D

if you want to play it early you can use a hong kong proxy to bypass the release check and download the unencrypted .exe now. just make sure your origin account is in offline mode untill its released in your area. i just did this and it worked fine.

5850 is slightly faster than 6850 and 6850 gets 90+fps in High Detail in 1920x1080, how is that not promising?

he's probably not as knowledgeable as us about the hardware and is going by the model numbers only ;)

like i mentioned earlier

it can no problem. i have the same card. if you look up a bunch of benchmarks our card has more horsepower then a 6850 and if you OC it a bit it's faster then a 6870.

Played the Mass Effect 3 demo and started thinking I should probably get the other 2 and play thru those. I'll play thru it some more tonight but it seemed pretty good. If anything i'll at least try finding ME2.

You should definitely play through the first two, even before you play ME3. They provide a hell of a lot of back story as to what will be going on, and using your previous saves from ME and ME2 will affect how ME3 plays out (meaning that we'll all have different games depending on our choices in the previous game(s)). Some differences may prove quite game changing too. :)

On top of that, they're also epic games. Some of the later cutscenes in ME2 aren't just good for a game, they put a lot of movies to shame too. I'm currently replaying them both (lost my previous saves) to catch up before ME3 comes out, I'm not going to make it (still a few days left of ME2 to go), but frankly I don't care, since I'm thoroughly enjoying playing them.

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.

      New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
