Missing ME1 won't stop my buying this on PS3. I loved DA and most of the dlc so I will get this on PS3 day one.
5 minutes on wikipedia will fill me in on the story from ME1. Xbox players are fooling themselves if they think PS3 owners will ignore this game just because they haven't played the first.
As for save game continuity, it didn't worry me with DAO either. Some of the dlc in DAO broke the story continuity from my warden's save game choices....it's not a game breaker for me. The characters and gameplay made the game for me.
I know you PS3 players will still buy it, that's the entire reason EA brought it over to PS3. But you really don't know what your missing out on by not importing an ME1 save, there is SO much more content if you import your save. If you go straight to ME2, you really don't know whats going on, and trust me a wikipedia read will not replace the experience of me1. I couldn't imagine playing ME2 without an ME1 save.
But ME1 isn't available to us, so there's no point getting upset over it. The point I am making is that many PS3 owners like myself will welcome this game with open arms. It's regarded as one of the best games of this generation. Especially when you consider how few quality games of this genre exist on PS3.
I can cobble together a story by reading up on the internet....it may not be optimal, but on balance the game is likely to be so good that it's still very very worthy of my time and money.
It will still sell very well on PS3 because we are very aware of how great it was considered on xbox - we aren't stupid, we know which games from the xbox we'd like on PS3. EA know this, they are a business first and won't care about upsetting xbox owners to chase the dollar.
