Reports are cropping up of advanced sales of Bioware's Mass Effect, with Kmart stores selling it a whole ten days early and copies now appearing on Ebay.
Rules are made to be broken, and apparently so are street dates.
Cheap Ass Gamer (CAG) is reporting that Kmart stores nationwide have broken the November 20th release date for Bioware's Mass Effect by selling the game a whopping ten days early.
The selling snafu was first announced by CAG users uberczar915 and Viper22, who, clutching their shiny new copies of the game in anxious fingers, skipped happily to their computers to brag to the blogsphere about their early purchases. Both scored their copies in Kmarts, with Viper22 reporting his came from the Crofton, MD location.
Some online retailers are also listed as having Mass Effect "in stock," with Walmart, Toys R Us, and NewEgg among those that are causing early salivation.
Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."
I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed
Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.
I feel the same way.
I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?
Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.
Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year
So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?
Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”
Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.

I would be rushing out to my local Walmart but since I've already decided that I am going to wait in till my time off before I play Mass Effect.
December 22nd couldn't come soon enough.
The story broke on the 11th.

yah I'm going to buy it Nov 20, but I'm not going to play it till the month of december because after Mass Effect comes out, there ain't nothing coming out till 08.
public apology to "TheChosenOne"...
I claimed he was talking smack a day or two ago when he said he was playing a copy he picked up at Kmart.
I believe you now dude!!! So much for the 11/20 shipping date.
So....... is Kmart stocking the CE or just the std. ed.???
I wish the kmarts near chicago would sell it but thats not the case either that or they were all sold out.
