[PC, PS3, X360] Breaking News: Game UK not stocking Mass Effect 3 at launch

It's spreading all across the internet like wildfire, but it looks like GAME UK isn't going to be stocking Mass Effect 3 at launch. Or SSX. Or any Electronic Arts titles until they can come to an agreement with GAME regarding certain aspects of their business model.

Everything is a bit hazy right now, GAME is claiming that they are making a stance and are deciding not to stock EA's games due for "commercial reasons", they had the following to say in a statement:

Quote:We currently have a supply issue with regards to Mass Effect 3, which means that GAME and gamestation will not be able to fulfil orders for Mass Effect 3 at this time. We want to give customers as much notice about this as possible and provide them with a range of options ahead of launch.

We appreciate that this is disappointing for our customers, and we apologise sincerely for the inconvenience that this will cause. We value the loyalty of our customers very highly and as a gesture of goodwill we are providing the following: Customers who have pre-ordered in store*, will have the opportunity to add £5 worth of Reward points to their card if they visit us from 1st March through to 16th March 2012.Customers who have placed a deposit for the title* will receive a refund as well as the £5 worth of Reward points between 1st - 16th March 2012.Customers who have pre-ordered online, will be provided with an online voucher to the value of £5 to be spent on any purchase on our sites.

Meanwhile, EA has pointed fans towards other options in an attempt to keep us all updated on the current situation. They point gamers towards alternative options (which will also now be offering the N7 Collector's Edition) including Amazon.co.uk, Play.com, Zavvi.com and ShopTo.net.

So anyone who is being experiencing difficulty because of this development should definitely check out those sites to secure yourself an N7 addition.

We'll keep our ears to the ground to see what exactly transpires here.
