EA wanted the hype for Mass Effect 3 to go where no game had gone before. So they flew ten copies of the upcoming game into the stratosphere by attaching them to weather balloons. The idea was to have frenzied fans track down the games and claim them when they descended back to terra firma. In one instance, things arenāt going as planned.

According to the Mass Effect Facebook page, efforts are being made to dislodge the game from branches that are about 150 ft. in the air. Baseballs have been flung and a slingshot is reportedly standing at the ready. Apparently, no oneās Push biotics are strong enough to shove the threequel out from such heights. Hereās hoping the other nine copiesāand the people chasing themāhave better luck.
