Mass Effect 3 EB and Mighty Ape Exclusive Pre-Order Bonuses

EA have unveiled the pre-order bonuses available to New Zealand gamers who indicate their interest in Mass Effect 3 prior to its availability in March.

As is increasingly becoming the norm, the offers vary by retailer and there's no way (at least, not initially) to buy a version that contains all of the available bonus content.

The two participating retailers in New Zealand are EB Games and Mighty Ape - check out these handy-dandy videos for details on what each has to offer (note: some of the EB stuff isn't detailed in the video, so be sure to check out the list below the clip for all the info).

EB Games

• An in-game M55 Argus Rifle - accurate burst fire, devastating at any range

• METALPAK packaging

• An... inflatable... Omni Blade (just the thing for pool-side cosplay)

Mighty Ape

• In-game N7 Defender Armor - providing increased health, shields, weapon damage, and ammo capacity

• The in-game N7 Valkyrie Rifle - high caliber rounds, superior accuracy

• An in-game M55 Argus Rifle - accurate burst fire, devastating at any range


The "N7" collector's edition meanwhile, which we detailed back in November, will be available from JB Hi-Fi, EB Games, and Mighty Ape.
