Penny-pinching supermarket chain Asda has confirmed it will be selling Mass Effect 3 at over 200 of its stores from Midnight tonight.

“Mass Effect 3 is set to be a huge hit with the gaming community so we want to make sure it is affordable and available to play as soon as the clock strikes twelve,” said Asda’s head of games Andrew Thompson.

The game will be priced £37.97 with no requirement to buy anything else from the store.

“We are not only stocking the game nine hours ahead of other retailers but we’ll also be selling it for the competitive price of £37.97,” said Thompson. “With stock not as widely spread for this big release, Asda really is the top destination for games enthusiasts this Friday and for future releases.”

Thompson is clearly referring to GAME and gamestation being unable to offer stock of Mass Effect 3, but the majority of other video game stockists will be selling the game tomorrow.
