First off; Hellz yeah! I got this game like a week before the regular street-date.

Haha, I walked in and couldn't see it on the shelves anywhere. So I went up to the counter and asked the girl if she had any copies of Mass Effect. She kinda gave me a seedy look before hesitantly replying "Why yes, we do. I'll uh, go get you a copy" To which I said, "That would be cool"

Haha it was so funny/awesome. I felt like such a little thief getting it early, but then again I did pay 100 bucks for it. Standard price here in AUS.
Ima go play it now..

As much as I would love to get Mass Effect early, Assassins Creed came out in the UK today, so I bought it. Don't mind killing a week with Altair!

don't know why people are going crazy over this game..... didn't really appeal to me after watching numerous gameplay movies. It's whatever floats your boat though i guess

EDIT: i'm australian too... and i would just like to add (for the millionth time) how bs it is for aussies when buying games.... Americans pay 60usd for brand new games... which is like 68 aus..... and we go and pay like 80-110 for our games

Yea, you have "fun" with Kane and Lynch. I thought they said mass effect wouldn't ship until the day before. I highly doubt you have the game

I want it too. I have to wait exactly one week until I can get it though. I don't have a problem waiting normally, but when everyone has it already it becomes annoying to wait.

Haha Mass Effect kicks so much ass! The combat is fairly reminiscent of Gears of War surprisingly. Just loads better!
I chose an Infiltrator type for Sheperd and specialise in pistols and sniper rifles =D

Yeah, we europeans get games around 65-70 euros. It's too much for some pockets.

Got mine today as well. You do know that if your department store has a JB Hifi, you can match the price at A$79

Man this game is beautiful isn't it.
