The release of Mass Effect 3 is just around the corner (March the 6th in the US and March the 9th in Europe) and retailers are starting to pull out the big guns in order to entice us to purchase the game from them.

GameStop fired it's shot today, by unveiling it's exclusive preorder bonuses: the N7 Valkaryie (No, I didn't mispell that) Rifle and the Defender Armor.

We don't know what effect the two pieces of equipment will have in game, but if they're the ones pictured in the ad above, they do look pretty sweet.

Luckily there's no hint to any "I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel" memes between the ads. For now.
