Earlier today, it was reported that some copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops II for PC mistakenly included Mass Effect 2 discs. BioWare has responded with an interesting offer.

If you are one of the customers affected by a lack of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, currently suffering from a surplus of Mass Effect 2, send BioWare photographic proof. Here's BioWare's offer:

Rumor has it that about a thousand customers who purchased Call of Duty: Black Ops II for PC today were also treated to a surprise copy of Mass Effect 2. If you were one of the affected, chances are you thought it was a mistake, but we prefer to think that it was an omen, and when the universe talks, you should listen.

If the universe thinks that you should be playing Mass Effect right now, who are we to argue? In fact, we want to help! The first fifty fans affected by this phenomenon to send us a picture holding their special disc 2 will receive a code for a FREE PC copy of Mass Effect Trilogy.

Click here to find out how to get your free Mass Effect Trilogy.

I bought a Toyota and it came with Lexus door handles....do you think the same concept could apply to my purchase?

Too bad I've already got all the games on PC. Cool deal, though.

This is actually pretty awesome.

Time to buy CoD and find a PC version of Mass Effect's disc 2.

COD FANS YOU JUST GOT OWNED!!!=P if i was a hardcore blops2 fan id be trying to wash the "amassed effect" of depreciation that the mass effect disc rubbed off on my blops2 disc. ill bet those guys went strait for the new call of duty disc and discarded whatever was left like a rabid heart-eating cheetah lol now theyre searching the trash for the disc to use it for game stop credits lol

Dang it! Now I kinda wish that I played CoD

well played...well played.

So...does the same company create discs for everybody? I mean how does an EA game get into an Activision box?
by Patapon64 Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 11:01 PM

It's really cool of Bioware to do this.
by mthams Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 11:09 PM

Such a great move! So jealous I'm not a PC gamer. I'd love to get the trilogy.
by bombstopper Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 11:14 PM

That's actually pretty funny. I guess it sucks for those who really wanted to play Black Ops 2 though.
by ZoMbIEx23x Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 11:17 PM

I don't think people who are playing Call of Duty are their target audience. Cool for those first 50 though.

**** PC

Wow... all three games, huh? That's awesome.
by Cyco2oo4 Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 11:32 PM

Any word on WHY a game from a completely different publisher made it's way on Black Ops 2?
by draconova Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 11:36 PM

what about the people who don't like mass effect and actually wanted call of duty their just doing a cover because people now have to pay 60 something dollars again just to get a game that they should have already gotten and whats up with the first 50 b.s. if you know there are at least 1000 people who got ripped off you should make it up to all of them instead of saying oh well piss off to bad you weren't in the first 50 so its your fault now that's 950 people who don't get *** and still now gotten pay to get the actually black ops 2

Couldn't you just stick a Mass Effect 2 disc into a Black Ops 2 case? Is it bad that this is the first thing that came to my head?
