Canada gets in on the Mass Effect LCE fun [update]

by Dustin Burg { Nov 16th 2007 at 10:00AM }

Update: BioWare made this announcement a few days ago. And sorry for being so hard on you guys. We're just sensitive to being mislead, because we've been hurt in the past. Thanks, Evan.

Someone over at BioWare must have thought lying to us about the worldwide availability of the Mass Effect Limited Collector's Edition would be funny when they said that the LCE wouldn't be available to Canada. Because it is. Evil Avatar spotted the LCE purchasable exclusively from the Canadian Best Buy and Future Shop websites, which are both firmly rooted in Canada quarantined internet space. So, if you were initially bummed about BioWare's "confirmation" that the Mass Effect's LCE wouldn't make it to Canada, then you can be a happy camper knowing that your LCE love will not be denied.

BioWare's didn't lie. What they did do was announce this two days before you made your post on this blog,

As I'm sure you're well aware publishers make this sort of decision. What actually appears to have happened is MS had no intention of releasing it in Canada and after a community uproar to Bioware they seem to have convinced MS to change their mind.

Which makes you look like an ass for calling them liars, if it's meant to be funny you failed.

Sort of have to agree with the other posters. Bioware seemed to sweet talk MS into getting the LCE into Canada. In the end, it's not Bioware's decision - and they didn't lie, at the time of the original posting, it wasn't slated for Canada.

A day late and a buck short, Dustin.
