It has been revealed today that GAME Group stores will not be stocking or fulfilling pre-orders of Mass Effect 3 along with other EA games in the future.

Internal memos leaked to EuroGamer details that the last EA game to be stocked will be SSX.  Customers who have had their pre-orders cancelled will be honoured with a £5 credit on their reward card or Elite card.

GAME has issued a statement in response to the retailer's decision not to stock Mass Effect 3, blaming it on a "supply issue".

"We currently have a supply issue with regards to Mass Effect 3, which means that GAME and gamestation will not be able to fulfil orders for Mass Effect 3 at this time. We want to give customers as much notice about this as possible and provide them with a range of options ahead of launch.

"We appreciate that this is disappointing for our customers, and we apologise sincerely for the inconvenience that this will cause. We value the loyalty of our customers very highly and as a gesture of goodwill we are providing the following:

• Customers who have pre-ordered in store, will have the opportunity to add £5 worth of Reward points to their card if they visit us from today through to 16 March 2012.
• Customers who have placed a deposit for the title will receive refund as well as the £5 worth of Reward points between 1 and 16 March 2012.
• Customers who have pre-ordered online, will be provided with an online voucher to the value of £5 to be spent on any purchase on our sites.
