Where can you buy a copy of Mass Effect 3 when it launches in the UK next Friday, 9th March?

With GAME and Gamestation not stocking EA's sci-fi epic, Collector's Editions of the game are now hard to find.

Online retailers Amazon, Play, Shopto, Zavvi and Blockbuster are now entirely sold out, EA says.

Gamestop and Sainsbury's are currently your only online bets for this special version, which includes various extras, not least that spoilery day-one DLC squadmate.

On the high street, HMV will have copies of the Collector's Edition, but in very limited quantities, Eurogamer understands.

Those with GAME pre-orders for Mass Effect 3's standard edition who were expecting the N7 Warfare Gear in-game weapon pack can still receive the extra items by shopping at Zavvi, Play, Thehut and Shopto.

In Ireland, the N7 Warfare Gear remains available at Xtra-vision. It comes with pre-orders of the the standard edition.

For standard no-extras copies of the game, EA has provided an enormous list of retailers to buy Mass Effect 3 from - basically everywhere but GAME, Gamestation, and now shuttered online sister site Gameplay.co.uk.

Eurogamer will round up the nation's best prices for Mass Effect 3 next week. But if you've spotted any deals already, let us know in the comments section below.
