EDIT: The Deluxe Upgrade is now available, please check the game's addons or extra content page.
A month long wait... I guess EA decided to give up timing and customer satisfaction for Lent....

A lot of PC people purchased the Box version (Code in a Box) at the retailers because they want to have something on the shelf.
It's the same principle, some folks want something physical.
Even though MEA has a number of issues to sort out, it still looks like a great game and I hope a deluxe upgrade becomes available, in due course.

I purchased a physical copy because I wanted a disc so if things changed with Origin down the line I wouldn't be assed out of my game. Like I was with Batman Arkham City when Games for Windows Live died and I was unable to redeem the free Steam code i was supposed to receive according to WB Games. Imagine how annoyed i was when my PC copy of ME:A arrived with a "no disc: Code in box" message on the box.
Being part of the PC master race shouldn't mean No disc because download. But I'm used to EA being annoying to buy things from at this point, so I decided not to make a fit about the whole thing. I figure they'd just delete any post I made about it so why even bother.
But i was hoping they'd at least have the deluxe upgrade available in a reasonable window from launch. Continued disappointment.
I just gotta stop buying EA games. Vote with my wallet and all. V_V
This must be american thing, becuase I bought retail too and it arrived with 6 discs in. I got also steelbook as a gift for preorder, which sadly can hold up only one disc. On the other hand, deluxe upgrade after a month is just too much...
Was that for PC or console.
If you stay civil nobody is gone to remove a post even if it is very critical.
Digital will be the only form of distribution for PC game in the future and that for many reasons, so I am afraid there is no way back.
The disks itself also wouldn't be a grantee that you can play the game if Origin would shut down. Even with a disk installation you still need Origin to play, and you can back up and access the digital copy even more easily.
