Gamers in North America can download a digital version of Mass Effect 3 from PlayStation Network on the same day the retail version arrives in stores, developer BioWare has announced.

As detailed on the PlayStation Blog, it's up for pre-order now on US PSN ahead of its 6th March release date.

Put your money down now and BioWare is bundling in some extra in-game content - the M55 Argus rifle and a Mass Effect 3 PS3 theme.

There's no word yet on whether the game will also be up on European PSN day-and-date with the physical release on 9th March. We'll update when we learn more.
