Standard and Deluxe $15 and $20 respectively on Amazon And both can have any of those $5 off coupons applied to them.

Malikial, Smiler, Nodal and myself have been playing this the last few nights, on ventrillo and everything! Wow! Other people should play too, it's about as fun as I imagined it was the entire time I was not playing it because lawl pirated copy.

Still kind of want to play this at some point.

I wonder when they'll have a trilogy package sale. Hoping for something on Steam on Black Friday and/or Christmas.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for Steam. You can only get 3 activated on ORIGIN!. Which means at best Amazon may have the first two with whatever the native DRM was plus 3 with the service.

Oh right, DRM. Forgot about that. That was also why I never got around to playing the copy of Fallout 3 I owned. I'm used to thinking of Steam games having less or no DRM because they're Steam games.

Which versions of ME have the least onerous DRM and just how bad is that DRM?

You can get one and two on Steam, and one is almost objectively the better story of the three. It's just three that isn't on Steam, so don't expect any trilogy packs anywhere but Amazon, which sells both the non-steam version of the first two, and the origin (read: only) version of three.

That doesn't answer my question about DRM though.

Okay, you can buy it from three places that I know of. Steam (though not the third), Amazon, and (I believe), directly from Origin?

Pretty sure the only drm 2 and 3 have is whatever service you are running it from (steam/origin). I think 1 might have some other sort of drm attached to it, but Steam's store doesn't list any.

Oh that doesn't sound as bad then unless the Steam version of #1 has OMG HIDDEN DRM.

Steam's bound to get #3 eventually. I'm sure Steam would love to have a trilogy package to sell, regardless of whatever price point it ended up at.

Steam will not be getting 3 ever. The reason EA and Steam have parted ways on a lot of games is because EA refused to have their in game DLC for sale on the steam system. That's why Dragon age 2 is gone, and crysis 2 is only on there in "maximum edition" (read: all dlc included)

Due to the nature of ME3's multiplayer box bullshit, there won't be a way that it will get to steam without the multiplayer being entirely defunct first.

The only thing I remember was needing to jump through some registration hoops for the Bring Down The Sky DLC, but while that's still done outside of Steam, it looks like it's now a simple code-free download.

You know, I don't actually mind having no multiplayer. I really only care about having the DLC.

I wouldn't say "ever", because money. But, point taken.

I'm not installing uplay though.

This is all such a pain though. Maybe I should just try to remain unaffected as always.

Uplay is Ubisoft, Origin is EA.

But yea, I get your point.

I don't usually pay attention to company-owned Steam alternatives. From context, I'd mistakenly assumed that uplay was Origin's distribution thingy.

Wait, so why do you need to activate ME3 on uplay if they have nothing to do with this?

You don't.  All the references to uplay have been complete nonsense.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

You can only get 3 activated on uplay.

What did this mean then? Confused? Maybe BB meant to say Origins?

I guess that takes me back to my question about what DRM schemes the various copies of the game has? It looks like it's just "You have to have Origin/Steam". But I can definitely live quite happily without ever installing Origin.

Yup! I've just had uplay on the mind because of Mighty Quest for Epic Loot (it's pretty dope)

PC Gaming Wiki says of ME1:

Found on the DLC installers only, SecuROM removable post-installation. 3 machine limit.
And ME2:

Single-player only.
Whatever the fuck that means.

There's a fucking ton, but the only stuff I'd bother with is the extra characters (some of whom are on-disc promos for people buying the game new—Zaeed being the only one I can remember) and the final ME2 mission that leads into the beginning of ME3. I guess ME3 might have some good stuff, but technically I still haven't finished that game.
