The beginning of November brought forth some heartbreaking news for gamers salivating over the thought of picking up the Collector’s Limited Edition of Mass Effect in Canada, Australia, and Latin America. Whereas the situation for the latter two regions hasn’t changed since, Canada is now fortunately out of the woods.

Chris Priestly, Bioware’s Community Coordinator, was happy to announce on the official forums that their homeland has been taken care of:

We have some good news to pass on for our fellow Canadians who were initially upset that they could not buy the Mass Effect Limited Collector’s Edition here in Canada.

We can now confirm that the LCE IS available for sale through at least 2 websites in our ongoing attempts to make it available to as many people as possible.

It has been spotted for sale at both www.bestbuy.ca and www.futureshop.ca . If anyone else sees any retailers that are offering it, please post here and let us all know.

Once again, in Canada and the US the LCE is only available through online orders, not in stores. In Europe it is available in stores (check with your local store to see if they carry it online). If there are any further devleopements, we will make them known. Thanks all.

Mass Effect will become available at retail in North America this Tuesday, November 20, so in case any of you Canadians out there were fancying of going Limited, now is your chance.
