BioWare and EA have announced that Mass Effect for the PC will be available for digital Download from the EA Store. For those of you who don’t want to worry about picking a copy up from your local retailer, or pay shipping from one of the many huge online retailers, your problems are solved. No scratched DvDs in your future.
Ironically, pre-ordering Mass Effect from the EA Store will get you the first issue of the Dead Space comic book and a Dead Space poster sent to you by Free Shipping. Supplies are limited so if the bonus Dead Space material appeals to you, get that pre-order in fast.
Honestly, there are times when I think digital downloads aren’t so bad after all. There are quite a few examples around my house of games that are no longer playable because of scratched, cracked or missing CDs. However, I have too many other issues with digital content to go completely digital at this point.

I love digital distribution; if a game is available on Steam, I’ll refuse to buy it in store.
That said, I hate EA’s online store and I refuse to buy anything from it.

Wow, after all the hype on the 360 version, cant wait till it’s released on PC. Hope it’s a good port. Digital version or not, it’ll prolly be a huge download.
