At least the worst of this pre-order/code stuff is affecting multiplayer. I play ME3 for story/single player. Sure, we have to jump through hoops to get the Argus rifle/N7 Warfare Gear/Collector's Edition gear/Raider shotgun, but the worst of it--these code promotions like DAII or Arkham City--is a multiplayer nightmare.
