Do you hate walking into a store on launch day just to find that you can’t decide if you want to pay extra to get the special edition? Apparently, EB Games wants to make sure that the Mass Effect Limited Edition is not simply an impulse buy. For some strange reason EB Games will only, be releasing the Mass Effect Limited Edition through their online store. Underneath the game’s general information and rating on it’s page on the EB website there’s a block of bold text that makes it very clear.

This is an ONLINE ONLY Limited Edition. This item WILL NOT be available in stores.

So far EB is the only retailer doing this, so you always have the option of buying your Limited edition in the traditional manner at Wal-mart.

It could be that the EB Games stores are simply too crowded with content and Mass Effect is the victim. Personally, I find that the Mass Effect Limited Edition is the least compelling special edition bundle so far, next to possibly the Halo 3 Legendary Edition, but that’s just me.
