Not trying to argue, just noting you European folks are more customers-aware than my countrymen.

You managed to miss the point entirely, it's not about "amg u still get moar items tahn us" it's about people not getting the same rights, not about how many times they get things.

Because as long as at least 1 country is missing out on it, it isn't "equal".

Got my Pre-order dragonage box from amizon yesterday with the cloak for war and a few DA extra items. Was a very nice supprize. Still havn't had a chance to try the game out though, think i'll go do that now.

If you have a friend who lives in the US, you could give them the money for them to buy and ship you the game. PayPal is an excellent way to do this, as it can convert currency from yours to ours.

It is a hassle, but not a large one and it doesn't take very long to ship out of state. I've done this for a couple friends who live in Australia.

Isn't that what I said? You guys are aware your treatment in Europe is different from the original country and demands the same treatment/promotions for the US version.
Here a portion of players don't bother with the local version at all and just import from the US - it's so common that despite having a local version the local EA store and game shops still have the US version. People here accept that you will never get the same treatment with the local version and thus either accept it and play in the local version of the game or import it from US.
As I said it's just an observation.

Problem is the codes to claim the items won't work on EU servers - that is, it hasn't in the past.

Your correct. The EU codes are a different format to the US ones. On the other hand when I bought the game guide on launch in the EU it had the US code. I emaled Prima games and they sent me an EU code.
