It doesn't make sense that there isn't a PS3 version of ME2.... unless its somehow unusual/different from the X360 version, or MS paid for a timed exclusive deal.

Either MS paid for timed exclusivity, or the PS3 version includes ME1 on the BD disc, or something. I think the ME1 theory is a good one, since that would be a big value draw to PS3 consumers who are interested in the series, and the conversion probably isn't that hard, since they've obviously gotten their engine working well on the PS3 with Dragon Age.

So you are suggesting that PS3 owners basically get ME1 for free; thereby ensuring that 360 owners not only lose an exclusive (probably not a big deal outside the vocal minority on boards) but ALSO get screwed over on price, by paying twice the amount PS3 owners pay for the same content?

I'm not sure what incentive EA would have to pander to the PS3 audience, while alienating their 360 one.

If it gets released nearly a year later, I don't think that'll "alienate" X360 consumers.  On top of that, ME1 is dirt cheap nowadays -- X360 owners wouldn't have to pay 2x the price by the time the PS3 double pack released... heck it'd probably be the same, if ME2 was 6+ months old by that time.

This is EA we're talking about.  They want money.  This would make them money.  As the "HD twins" become closer and closer in number, it would be downright foolish of EA to ignore the PS3, with what is probably their finest RPG series.

I stand by my theory.  It may not be true, but it'd be smart of EA to do it.  I call their "incentive" by its proper name --- Money.  EA likes Money, I'm pretty certain.
