I’ve had ME3 on pre-order forever already. 'Cmon Bioware - I can’t wait until spring! 
Just a heads up everybody-
A few days ago a beta version of the Mass Effect 3 demo (scheduled for January release) was leaked online. Some people have data mined it and pulled basically the plot of the entire game and posted it.
I’ve managed to stay away from any spoilers, but beware, it’s out there.
I feel really bad for Casey Hudson and Bioware team right now.
They already spoiled enough with those tech demos that gave away your future relationship with Cerberus. I won’t spoil it for anybody who has managed to avoid it, but I will warn you if you’re particularly spoiler-sensitive: ME3 Blackout is the only way to go.
And I guess that means this thread is off my list of reading material until March. sigh This is gonna be a long 4 months.
Yeah, I hadn’t heard anything about that before now. Thanks 5thHorseman… d:

Just to let you all know if you download the demo of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning you will unlock a a couple of things for Mass Effect 3. A weapon and some armour. It probably won’t be much use in the game, but it’s better to have it than not. You don’t even have to play the demo all the way through, I got the unlock just by starting it.
The ME3 demo should be out soon, which is supposed to unlock something in the main game. So keep an eye out.
Just heard - ME 3 demo will be out on Valentine’s Day!!!
Pretty sad that the only love I’m gonna get on Valentine’s day is from Bioware.
I’d rather have this then the nothing I will get from the hubs!
By hubs, you mean spouse, and not Omega, Citadel, etc?
Tee-hee! Yes, I do!
Oh, son of a… Who was the genius that decided the meetup should be a mere 10 days after ME3 launches? How will I get my requisite 7 playthroughs in beforehand? This is fixing to be a very hectic few weeks coming up.
You could have two people bring xboxes and have co-op parties in rooms 305 & 508.
I saw a preview picture that showed some sort of mech suit. I want mech suits!
Have you guys seen the preview for the Kinect version of ME3? Looks pretty awesome =) Voice command activation of abilities and weapons??! Shhhhweet!
It sounds cool as an idea. But I’m not sure I’d want to rely on voice activation during a difficult fight. It would have to work flawlessly, which in my experience is rare with voice activation.
I see it as an Enhancement. Not that you can’t or wont be able to use the radial menu or team command/power options as we did in previous games, but at other times being able to do so without pausing could streamline play even more =)
I watched a video on the Kinect integration and from what I can see, it looks flawless. Response seems instantaneous. The good news is that the demo coming out on valentines day has Kinect support, so we’ll (well, those of us with Kinect anyway) be able to see just how well it does or does not work.
Thought I’d give a link to the write up for the kinect feature for ME3 =)
