The Specs – Mass Effect 3 N7 Collectors Edition and Why You Should Buy It

Galactic War begins March 6, 2012 and for $80, only $20 extra bucks more than the average game price, you can get a ton of extra stuff to help you wage war against the Reapers!

In the following video taken from Game Stop’s official Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector’s Edition page details all the cool stuff you’ll be getting for only $20 extra bucks:

From Gamestop’s Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector’s Edition Page (With minor edits and inclusions by myself):

Premium metal case featuring male and female Commander Shepard

70-page hardbound art book

Limited edition Mass Effect Invasion comic by Dark Horse Comics

Fabric N7 patch.

Exclusive 4×6 lithographic print of the SR-2 Alliance Normandy

N7 Arsenal Pack – Bring the firepower with the N7 Valiant Sniper Rifle, Crusader Shotgun, Hurricane SMG, and Eagle Pistol.

Squad alternate appearance pack – Kaiden, Ashley, and Liara

Robotic Dog for on board the Normandy as well as an N7 hoodie for Shepard to wear on board the Normandy

Mass Effect 3 digital soundtrack.

Classified extra mission and character

All for only $20 Extra bucks! I keep repeating that point because generally with collectors editions (Assassin’s Creed, Bataman Arkham Series, Modern Warfare, Halo, and numerous other games a year) what you get isn’t worth the price you pay, which can be up to $150. I feel like this Collectors edition stands apart in the sheer amount it offers for only $20 bucks. Seriously If we break it down (including the inevitable release price of the early DLC that comes with it) just the extras will come to more than $30 easily. To add to the importance of buying the N7 Collectors Editon they say it’s going to be extremely limited. Like only pre-order limited. Why do I believe this? I was one of the lucky souls who pre-ordered the Mass Effect 2 Collectors Edition and I haven’t seen one sold in stores new since the release of the game. Believe me when I say this will likely be a one-time engagement.

If you’re a Mass Effect fan then this is an absolute MUST buy. If you’re a gaming fan and haven’t invested in Mass Effect (I’m looking at YOU RAGE) then this is still a MUST buy. Mass Effect has become one of the most unique and quality game series to be released this console generation. I see the Mass Effect 3 N7 Collectors Edition as a last hurrah to one of the series that defined this generation without having to sacrifice quality for mass appeal.

This is the short version: PRE-ORDER THIS NOW! YOU WON’T REGRET IT!
