They will just instruct fedex to not deliver until the 20th.

Well I'm sure in this scenario they aren't going to receive five hundred calls from teenagers asking if they're really shipping it.

EvaPlusMinus · (11-10-2007, 12:29 AM)

Like that other guy said, though.

If they send it on the 20th, just bitch about shipping and shit, and play AC and SMG while you wait.

No matter what, we win.

Dunno. Word about the lesbian scene seems to have gotten out. So the numbers might be smaller, but the calls could be creepier.

Edit: And if you are not one to name your candlestick after animals, a "Dell with all the bells and whistles" will suffice as well.

I've thought about this a lot (more than was reasonable) and this is also how I'll be playing. Female adept paragon the first time through, Male soldier renegade the second time.

Game is already up on Ebay, as it was sold early at a K-Mart store:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Mass-Effect-the-...QQcmdZViewItem

Also from CAG:

Quote:

There are rumors abound that the street date has been broken at various k-mart stores. Apparently Mass Effect arrived to box stores sometime in the last seventy-two hours.

Quote:

Its broken street date at Kmart, and put it to send to store.

Damn, I passed two kmarts today.

jvalioli · (11-10-2007, 12:41 AM)

I was out for 2 or so hours to see if any stores around my broke the street date. Even my no-customers-and-sketchy K-Mart didn't have it out. I forgot to check Toys'R'Us. I'll try again tomorrow.

I have four people on my friends list with this game now.

hohum :(

Uncle · (11-10-2007, 12:47 AM)

And now begins the hide and seek with the spoilers.

SnakeXs · (11-10-2007, 12:57 AM)

And now begins the hunt.

Fuck, my mind is SHATTERING at the thought of having AC, Galaxy, and now THIS all at once.

Plans of staggering them are paper thin right now. xD

Lostconfused · (11-10-2007, 12:58 AM)

Wow, god damn it. Seriously AC shipping late in canada and people already playing this. Sigh, i am really pissed.

Edit: Oh well at least i have it fully paid off.

Play them all... at once, of course.

Shit, time to bail out of this thread and hide from the awesomeness that is Mass Effect.

Skilotonn · (11-10-2007, 01:06 AM)

Damnit, I'm so jealous right now... gaaaaaah!

And I don't recall seeing it posted in here at all, but IGN posted Mass Effect's Achievement List two days ago...

I think we had a thread about this a week or two ago with alot of people bitching that they have to play the game 6 times or something.

MiamiWesker · (11-10-2007, 01:15 AM)

I KNEW THAT WAS THE RETAIL COPY!!!

I told you guys I saw it at K-Mart last night. I went back today and they had taken them down. Crap I should have picked it up even though I dont have a 360. Sorry to the guy that wanted me to get it for him, not there anymore.

chespace · (11-10-2007, 01:33 AM)

Really nice box actually.

Desiderus · (11-10-2007, 01:33 AM)

yeah 11/09 was the ship date. Just we aren't supposed to put them on shelves till 20th.

My mouse probably sucks. I don't know, it's what was given to me at work so I use it.

Actually both are about the same (MS optical mouse), only difference is the side buttons.

Phil Spencer on the future of MGS' involvement with Bioware:

Quote:

In terms of another acquisiton, the BioWare/EA deal has been perceived as a blow to MGS as well, especially as you’re publishing Mass Effect, and have presumably lost the potential sequel to that game…

Don’t assume that – we’re having discussions with BioWare. The first Mass Effect is still to come out, and I don’t want to get away ahead of that – the game has been built completely by that developer’s rules; it’s BioWare telling a story the way they want to tell it. So firstly I want to see how gamers respond to that. As for our future in that franchise – we feel very good about it, it’s still something that plays an important part in our portfolio, BioWare are a great partner, and I’m looking forward to discussing what we can do with them.

Great, now life will suck shit for two weeks.

Nab · (11-10-2007, 02:31 AM)

Some people were talking about planets a while back and I didn't say anything because I thought someone else would answer definitively.

Well, seeing as no one did, I thought I'd post that IIRC, it was made known on Bioware's forums that there was going to be somewhere close to FOUR HUNDRED planets. However, those are almost all not planets you can land on, only places you can search/scan for loot.

In terms of land-on-able planets, there's supposed to be over 30, with each of them having some storyline, or, at least, considerable side quests.

Nothing definitive, I don't have the game or anything but I thought I'd let you know what I heard.

Loving the TV ad.

jordan0386 · (11-10-2007, 02:34 AM)

I think all those planets are just placeholders for content, in 2 and 3

chespace · (11-10-2007, 02:53 AM)

Just continued my game with some real retail discs (as opposed to those early press review green discs) and thank god the chugging is gone and the loading is so much better/faster.

Hey, Che, ol' buddy 'ol pal. Remember all the good times? All the way back to GRAW. Mmm. We go back, huh?

So, great buddy o' mine, what'll it take to get you to get me oneo' dem games you got there. That "Mass Effect" one. You know, for friendships sake.

CoD4 later?

Some more street date breakage at K-Mart from CAG:

Snaku · (11-10-2007, 03:11 AM)

I would rush out and check every Kmart in the area, but I know it'd be a waste of time & gas. No stores ever break street date in my area. Ever.

Well I've got Super Mario Galaxy and Assassin's Creed to keep me company next week.

Till then, I guess I'll finish getting the Achievements in Sonic 360. It'll make those three games seem all the better by comparison.

Agent Icebeezy · (11-10-2007, 03:56 AM)

If there are stores that have clearly broken street date, all stores should be allowed to do the same. Why they don't is beyond me.

PhlegmMaster · (11-10-2007, 04:01 AM)

Rrrrrrrrrgggghhh. I kind of want this game.

Not trying to troll or to derail the thread here:
Do 360s still die often, or has MS finally fixed that problem?

chespace · (11-10-2007, 04:18 AM)

Okay, just finished a decent sidequest and decided to go and chat with some of my crew in the engineering section. They had a surprising amount of stuff to say. Pretty amazed by the depth of writing in this game. Bioware has really outdone themselves in the fleshing out of the NPC department.

Here are some random pics of the chatter down there. BTW, I'm like 30 hours into the game and the graphics STILL amaze me. I love this generation.

DISCLAIMER: my cell phone camera sucks - hard.
