EA just likes to fan the flames of Fanboy wars! The only way ME2 will come to the PS3 is with tons of money being paid back to M$ or some other type of back rubbing.

 

but EA owns ME IP not MS.so they don't need MS permission

EA owned the ME IP when the PC version was published. You are reading over that - EA had to strike a deal with MS to let EA publish the PC versions and future versions of the game.

What on God's green earth would make MS say 'Here are the keys to the kingdom' and let ME be published on the PS3?

I am wholly convinced it will never, ever happen. After seeing the Bioware PR release and EA's quotes - and their recent quotes - KZ2 has a better chance of appearing on the 360 than the ME franchise.

 

So a first party title has a higher chance of going multiplat than one owned by EA of all companies?  Madskillz, I never thought you'd go so low.

And your GTA comparison is flawed, seeing as GTAIII, VC, and SA all made their way to the Xbox once they were done being system sellers for the ps2 (if you even consider ME to be a system seller).

 

Nooooo, Music. See my point. What I am saying is - EA asked MS to publish ME. They struck an agreement to let it happen. What I was saying is in the release, all future publishing for ME AND future games will be done by EA. Having said that, no one knows the argument MS and Bioware had, but it's obvious anything ME related will require MS's approval. And ... if that's the case, it's like when Bungie was working on Halo for the PS2 - then, it vanished.

There is no way ME and the other ME games will be on the PS3. Maybe EA will find a loophole and publish it, but what I find so interesting is - there's no hint of ME PS3 anything - not ME2 or 3. I think we'll know the deal come GDC.
