PSN offers Mass Effect 3 pre-order exclusive

PS3 owners who purchase Mass Effect 3 early via PSN will receive an extra theme not available elsewhere.

Consumers will be able to pre-order a downloadable copy of the game through PSN online, claims the US PlayStation Blog.

Those who do will receive an in-game M55 Argus rifle and Mass Effect 3 PS3 theme, the latter of which is exclusive to the platform.

Pre-order bonuses for Mass Effect 3 at retail include N7 Warfare Gear, which is exclusive to GAME, and includes a Valkyrie rifle, defender armour, increased ammo capacity and ‘amplified’ weapon damage. The standard pre-order extra, available with most retailers, is the aforementioned M55 Argus rifle.

Gamers who pre-order Mass Effect 3 through EA’s digital download platform Origin will receive an AT-12 Raider Shotgun.

Mass Effect 3 hits UK shelves on March 9th for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
