Collector note

Standard 360 DVD-9 (redump serial EA-2240; the same disc is also Ultimate Edition disc 1). Collector’s Edition (VGCollect NA barcode 014633168839) used a steel case with a plastic slipcover, a cloth map, a bonus DVD (making-of, concept-art montage, soundtrack, wallpapers, strategy video), and three exclusive download items. New standard and CE copies included one-time codes for The Stone Prisoner (Shale) and Blood Dragon Armor (also usable in Mass Effect 2); VGCollect box text says those codes expired 30 Apr 2010. Pre-orders added the Memory Band. Ultimate Edition is a later two-disc compilation (separate catalog row). Japan received a Platinum Collection reprint (Spike, 1 Dec 2011). Wikipedia lists a North American Platinum Hits reprint (unconfirmed on redump).
