I got both. Credit came like 8 hours after the Argus code according to the timestamp on the emails.
For SE that is.

Did anyone actually agree to have Jessica Chobot on their ship? I told her to fuck off real quick.

I did, but I had no clue who the hell she was (outside of the game). Mostly I was trying to figure out
if she was wearing a sports bra combo, faux military getup or bizaree future fashion
was headbutting that other reporter lol
No credit here.

I will probably do the same. Nothing will totally pull you away from being immersed in this incredible futuristic sci-fi world, then real-life Jessica Chobot talking to you. First that Felicia Day Dragon Age shit now this? Now I don't mind people being in the game, but fuck...at least change the way they look. I'm not fighting along side the video game representation of Freddie Prince Jr. or getting in arguments with someone who looks exactly like Martin Sheen.

Do the decisions from ME1/ME2 make a big difference in ME3?

Installed both discs. But thats the only thing thats gone right. Neither my ME1 or ME2 saves are recognized so I have to start from scratch. This would be AS big an issue to me if they let you choose between the game changing options from the previous two games.
BUT THEY DONT.
Did anyone else not get the option to change difficulty? If I wanted to go for the insanity achievement right off the bat I would have to create my character over again and choose the difficulty before starting the game.
I have no idea where my bestbuy pre order bonuses should come from.
The character creator is really bad namely the appaling lack of options including the female hairstyles.
One silver lining from this mess is the Chakram Launcher from the KoA demo, that thing kicks ass.

SSX had a 10 dollar credit too along with a bonus code for a snowboard. The code for the board showed up the same day as the game (release day). My code for the 10 dollars showed up a day later. No reason to panic.

I don't even know who Chobot is.
Probably only the big decisions like killing the Rachni queen or not or giving the Collector base to Cerberus or not.
I don't expect stuff like "hey remember that Asari mercenary in Samara recruitment mission that you let live before learning she was a murderer? WELL GUESS WHO'S BACK!" to happen.

I'm sure this has been asked a bunch of times and I apologize for not having the time to read this whole thread but could someone explain the day1 dlc to me? I just took a break and picked up the ME copy and the guy also sold me some day1 DLC. I'm aware of the "spoiler" party member I guess but what kind of DLC is it? Just a party member with couple extra missions? Worth it?
Also I pre-ordered from GameStop. Is the pre order bonus any good? Hope someone can answer this for me while I'm at work =)

This may have been answered already, but:
Is there a reason I wasn't presented with any difficulty/story mode/RPG mode options at the beginning?

I had to go look up who she plays. Didn't really recognize her in the game, but that's also because I couldn't care less and haven't seen her much, since I never go to IGN. Hilarious how some people get caught in up in that sort of shit and have it negatively affect their experience. It isn't healthy to have so much hate. :<

Is it just me, or can you not holster your gun?

I didn't either, I assumed it was because I used a character from the first two games

Were people lined up? Im out front best buy right now...
If you imported a character then it automatically puts you into RPG mode. Difficulty you have to change through the options though.

That's what I was thinking, but my difficulty defaulted to normal and I imported a Hardcore save from ME2.
EDIT: got it, thanks Jambi.
Just walked straight in and walked out in a few minutes. I was the only one at the desk lol.

You dirty Americans. 
That was dealt with (in the most pathetic way) in ME2.
And you think that she wont come back in ME3? Please.
Yeah but it's got ramifications in ME3.
One of the cool things about this game is that they finally seem to have made choices you made in previous games matter in some meaningful way, due to the whole "galaxy at war" scenario. It means your past alliances with other races/organizations and past fucking-them-over should come back to haunt you in some fashion.
It's probably the most effective thing they could have done to tie past choices to the main storyline. I don't think we're talking CD Projekt-levels of choice here, but Bioware has never really done that, and this method seems to actually be fairly slick.
ME2's method of dealing it didn't exactly instill a lot of confidence.

You can't put it back with the Back button on 360 anymore?
When? ME2 is mostly a blur for me.

Your avatar is coincidentally a great reaction for that .gif.
The bitch will be spaced soon as I get the oppurtunity.
well, that sucks.
That is straight bullshit. The camera used while your gun is drawn looks terrible while exploring and I always found myself holstering my weapon following every battle. I really dislike being stuck running around with a gun drawn.

Sigh, I hate Amazon sometimes :/
Actually you talk with an Asari on Illium that got rescued by the Rachni Queen, and it last longer than 10 secs. I wanted more than that too, but i guess we had to wait for ME3 for that.

It was Illium.

Without going over a ton of posts I have 2 questions: how's the ps3 version and is the day one dlc worth it? Thanks for any responses.

PS3 final is more or less the same as the demo performance wise (there's entire walkthroughs already up on YouTube). Terrible for cutscenes and tolerable for gameplay
Some say it looks a bit better in the IQ department though
No disc (multiple) swaps though
