Nearly 150 pages of fanboys crying, it's really pathetic!

It's also pathetic watching fanboys trying to convince themselves they ain't annoyed now by saying 'oh the PS3 version won't be as good' or 'Well they got it a year later so it's not as good' Come on guys get a life, it's extremely sad.

And it's really sad you are only here to get people going.  Wow, you  own no games and you have been here 5 days.

And why would Bioware spend time to develop content for one console, and not give it to the other 2?

Agreed. There is no meaningful difference between the PC and Xbox versions, as far as I know, and no difference in the DLC between  the two platforms, either.

Do you honestly think MS would allow saves from their system to be used on another?

[sheridanmovieguy]

This doesn't really bother me so long as Bioware doesn't abandon the save files thing (or make it so it barely matters).



If PS3 users can use some sort of system to put ME1 data on there, then great. Otherwise it seems like PS3 players are losing one of the key elements of the franchise in my opinion.



I don't mind this going multiplat, so long as it doesn't derail the Shepard I've been making. I don't want to boot up ME3 and find out I spent all that time saving my ME2 squadmembers for nothing.

If money is the answer to all queries surely the ground to stand on would be quite papery and unstable

I think this is a really good idea and a diplomatic solution to an otherwise unsolvable problem. If I could use my Xbox ME character to play ME2 on PS3, I'd be one happy gamer! Microsoft get to keep their exclusive "full Mass Effect experience" and fans of the series get to enjoy ME2 and possibly ME3 on their console of their choice.

Psycho, do you have a link to this article?

I doubt BioWare expects enough sales to make developing any exclusive add-ons worth the added expense. I know I don't.

Exactly. They won't do it. The whole point of bringing it to the PS3 was to expand the target audience. By giving them exclusive content, it will not only turn away current fans, but it will be a bad marketing strategy. The only reason they're getting the intro level is because Mass 1 isn't being ported.

-Polite

Bioware can just take some stuff that didn't make it into the final version of the game and make some minor changes and sell the dlc or give one or two dlc for free just to trick people that there's a bunch of free dlc then charge the rest of the future dlc for a ridiculous price. 

[masseffectfan00]

Also I'm pretty sure gamestop is gonna have a deal with Bioware/Ea and get some exclusive content. The same old pre order bonus won't sell as much but if there were something new and worth getting, 360 or pc users could buy the game a second time.

It's official I'm a Bioware fanboi

[PatrickBCFC]

I have Mass Effect 1&2 on PC, but I do have a 360 and PS3 so the news doesn't really effect me, I do think its a good thing though, the only thing that would bother me is if the PS3 version has massive benefits like all DLC for free or exclusive features.

the ps3 standard version is pretty much what the GOTY version for xbox360 and pc will be, believe it or not there are people with xbox360 and pc that didn't buy ME2 yet so it's also an incentive for them.

I could really care less that the PS3 is getting ME2. I'm not to concerned about the whole 'choices carrying over' aspect. I figure the more the product sells, the better ME3 will be because Bioware and EA won't slash production costs to save a dime due to ME2 performing below what they expected in sales.

That being said, PS3 owners should have to pay for all the DLC we have had to pay for. I don't think it's fair they get the whole experience out of the box when we had to buy it in bits and pieces. If they do release it with all DLC in one game, I should hope that Bioware will throw 360 users some kind of gesture of good faith. Whether it be cheaper DLC or more Cerberus Network freebies, I think Bioware would be well served to keep their XBox fanbase happy.

The PS3 version will likely be treated asa a GOTY and have everything up to and including Shadow Broker.

And there's no reason it shouldn't. Because, as with the eventual 360 GOTY (That one will have it, too) you're not paying for the content as much as you're paying to play it NOW.

Big difference.

The idea of uploading some kind of character sheet to BioWare's servers is probably what they plan with Dragon Age 2 (they already have a system in place), but I doubt they can even do that with ME1.

Even if they can, how does it offer PS3 owners an incentive to buy? I know this will rub a few of you up the wrong way (and again, I understand the reasons why it might), but I think Bioware will have to offer some PS3 exclusive content if they want the game to do well on the platform.

It only has to do well enough that it makes them a significant profit. It's not like they need to break even with development cost, here--they're just porting it, they don't need as many sales on the PS3. Porting ME2 to the PS3 is most likely just a means to augment sales of an eventual PS3 version of ME3 by seeding the PS3 owner-based with new Mass Effect fans, while making a tidy profit in the process.

Fandango9641 wrote...

Riiiight, and if PS3 owners aren’t moved to buy in big numbers where will this "significant profit" come from?

Profit is the difference between how much you spent and how much you get back. They aren't spending much on ME2's port--certainly not as much as when they originally developed the game. Since they've already made back their development costs and more purely on sales for the other two platforms, it won't take nearly as many sales for them to start making pure profit on the PS3 version. That's why the PS3 version can be the weakest version in terms of sales and still turn a profit for BioWare. They likely aren't even counting on a whole lot of sales at any one time--only a steady stream of them over time.

I'm sorry to jump on your conversation but I think the game was already developed at the same time as the 360 version and the whole: "You don't need to have played the first ME in order to play the second" was already because of the PS3 version. It was what I felt once playing ME2, that the game at some point would make it to the PS3. I believe the only thing that kept it from releasing it before was some kind of MS contract. I just wanted to point it out since: If the game is already made long ago, and just waiting for a release day...

Remember when someone found some PS3 code in the ME2 files or something a few months ago?

Now... On another note, I can't wait to get the PS3 version too but since there isn't much info on it, the only thing I'm worried about is the disc swaping thing which for me and my kind of style of play was a bit annoying, do anyone here knows if that would happen with the PS3 version as well?

No, the PS3 version will be on one disc.  That about the only guaranteed thing you can say about what the package will include.
