How is the relation to ME1 going to be handled, may I ask?
Yeah, if there's going to be nothing extra to take the lack of access to ME1 into account, it's going to be a pretty major disappointment - and I guess it does make things seem a bit dire regarding ME1 decisions having a role in ME3.

I'm actually kinda shocked by all the
negative feedback for ME going to the PS3. If anything, this is a good
thing; new players will finally be able to see what all the hubub is
about, and we might actually see some of the original design concepts
work their way back into the PS3 release of the game (i.e. open-ended
recruitment was cut because of the 360 version being two discs). Also,
with a multiplatform release, we could see some cool enhancements across
all versions (like, oh I dunno, mod tools?).
Saying things like
Bioware sold out or that PS3 users are morons is just plain childish.
There will always be unsavory people no matter what system is played.
I've been on all fronts, and it happens everywhere. Give someone a mic, a
keyboard, and anonymity, and that person has the potential to ruin your
day. Don't think for one second that just because ME has been isolated
to the Xbox and PC that it was somehow immune.
Also, remember
that gaming is a business. We get charged small amounts for DLC that is
anywhere from 20MB to 1.5GB ranging in price from $2 to $15. Adding the
ME series to PS3 is a good business move for both Bioware and EA, and
means a larger budget for ME3 and future entries into the Mass Effect
universe.
Long, but quoted for complete agreement.
And all you people raging about the "extra content" - let's face it, it's going to be (some of) the DLC published before next January and possibly something to make up for the lack of a ME1 (say, a series of flashbacks on the Kodiak in the beginning, allowing the "new" PSers to play through a bunch of small levels explaining what took place in ME1, or something along those lines).
Anyway, I think this is great news for the community, the added sales potential might make it worth the while to take more risks re: returning squadmates, especially if ME1 data can be integrated into the PS3 version in some neat way.
