mass effect series wont ever come to the ps3 system at all, very simple reason why. m$ wont allow it, m$ has alot invested in the series from the begining and also the series staying on the 360 is part of the contract bioware signed with m$. i think however that a similar type of game will be announced at e3 and released exclusive for the ps3 though.

Unless microsoft bought the right's to the series they really can't do anything really.If bioware want's it on the ps3 they put it on.

Not true at all, there are a variety of possibilities that could ensure ME stays exclusive to the 360 on consoles without MS having to have purchased the IP.  First off, if MS had a contract with Bioware to release exclusively on the 360, EA will have to honor that contract.  Secondly, EA is often derided for being money hungry, I would bet even they have a price at which they will give exclusivity.  MS has very deep pockets.

I predict it was the first scenario, else MS might have tried to acquire Bioware themselvse instead of letting them fall to EA.

Is there any proof?

There is an exclusivity deal for at least the first 2 games.  Bioware commented on the fact on one of the earlier mass effect on ps3 rumors.  I'm too lazy to look for a link, but you want proof you can look for it yourself.  It is out there.
