So, about a week before the release of the highly anticipated mass effect 3, it's withdrawn.
I walked into my local Gamestation with my friends and asked if they will be doing a midnight release for Mass Effect 3. The answer was no, and the manager told me the are no longer stocking the game at all. My deposit would be refunded in the form of a voucher for the store. The other store in my town (Game) is doing the same.
Not only am I annoyed because I preordered a few months back, but I had £50 saved on a reward card specifically for this game (which CANNOT be used online or anywhere else). So, about a week before the release of the highly anticipated mass effect 3, it's withdrawn. :C
So until they start stocking again, I won't be purchasing this game. If they do, I won't be eligible for any pre-order bonuses, which sucks too.
Is this a national thing (I'm from the UK)? HAs this happened to anyone else? I'm really confused at the moment.
