Cancelled my Mass Effect pre-order a while back after the whole DRM issue. As a PC gamer, I regularly upgrade my rig, so having 3 installations for only for 3 configurations just doesn't cut it, at all. I'm not going to worry about installing Mass Effect two years down the line to play again, only to see it won't install after being a legit customer, legit being the big f'ing keyword. Meanwhile, the torrent kiddies won't ever have to worry about installations, they will have unlimited installations on unlimited hardware. What BS.

EA can go screw, they ain't getting one red cent

Nerve Software have put a lot of effort in the Xbox 360 version of ET:QW with a new hud, grenade indicators, Xbox Live functionality, third person crosshairs in vehicles and more, so I think its worth picking up for anyone who wants to play an online game with great depth and a lot of gameplay features.

Is GRID not due out this coming week? It was originally due on June 3rd but hasn't it been moved forward to the 30th of May? I remember seeing the news on the official community site, and asked in my local Game store and they confirmed they'd be receiving stock on the 30th?
