Zaps confirmed that they have stock :)

As for DLC, I'm not entirely sure that it's worth it. For me, playing a game the way that it was designed it the best way to play it.
 
I am waiting for my PC CE. BT game said they should have it late this afternoon. Can't wait.

On DlC if its free and comes with the game why wouldn't you use it??

As far as I know all versions get the dlc/cerberus network. Only game thing I get extra with the CE is the ce armour and weaponary.

Correct.
All editions are getting the card and number and the standard edition is getting access to armour, weapon and Zheed character.

A question.
If you had the choice of buying this game 2ndhand at R275 and not have access to the character etc or new at R539 - which one would you buy?

I would go for the second hand one. You can get access for the cerberus network for $15 so that with the second hand title works out cheaper than the full game if you can get it second hand for R275.
 
Pulled a 10 hour stint last night/this morning :D So far it's a damn fine game.

One thing that does infuriate me is the font size barely being large enough to read without squinting. The dialogue options are fine, but almost everything else is really poor. No I'm not blind and I sit around 3m from the TV.

goddammit!!! i'm sitting here irritated as hell waiting for kalahari to send me my preordered collectors ed, which will only be on monday. only because i really wanted the extra DLC. if i knew the DLC was gonna be crap i would just have gotten the standard one yesterday already. i want this game sooo badly.
 
I'm not saying its crap but from what I've read the only extras you get are:
1.Another character
2.An extra place to explore(I wont go into details as I dont want to spoil it)
3.Armour

Imo its not worth the extra cash
 
You also get the metal box, the art book, the first issue of the "between the installments" comic, and the extra dvd with behind the scenes footage, documentaries & so on as I recall. Those may not add much to the in-game experience, but it's not just "all about the eppixx" as the saying goes ;)

the normal edition has the first 2 any way
 
Actually the standard ed has all 3.
I bought a new copy from a local retailer at a discounted price.
All 3: Zaeed, Normandy Crash site and cerberus armour and thenew Eviscirator Shotgun are free dlc for the game.

Zaheed I have been told is a great character and the stage you have to get him is pretty much worth it..
