Mass Effect 3 Space Edition Launches Today

Last week we brought news that a first was taking place in the gaming community, and it surrounds the upcoming Mass Effect 3 title from BioWare. You see, in celebration of the game’s release, BioWare is launching actual copies of the game into the Earth’s outer atmosphere. These copies will be launched from select cities around the world, including San Francisco and Berlin, Germany. The games will be attached to balloons at their launch, and they will soon land in random locations around the globe.

When these balloons land, if you are lucky enough to be the first one to the landing zone you’ll be able to pick up a full copy of the game before it’s official release! The website for the Space Edition of Mass Effect 3 is now live, and you can head there to find out all sorts of information on what to expect. You can head there to track the balloons and see where they fall to get in on the action, as they launch today, as we speak.

Each edition will also come with a one-of-a-kind fan prize packages. Even runner-ups will receive prizes, provided some are left. This is truly a historic event in gaming history, and one that I’m proud to be a part of. Don’t forget to check the site to track the launches, and get ready for the game when it officially launches on March 6th!
