BioWare's Ceo hints at PS3 Mass Effect 2, ME2 DLC - English and Polish.

I think BioWare are having a lot of fun playing all coy like this with PS3 owners.

I think in whatever agreements have been made between BioWare, EA and MS regarding the Mass Effect franchise there is simply no way a PS3 announcement would be permitted before ME2 comes out for the 360. So I disagree that if there was going to be a PS3 port of the series that it would have beeen announced already.

It doesn't mean I think there will be a port, I'm inclined to think BioWare are playing with people's minds. However I do think the "it woulda been announced already argument" doesn't really stack up as proof that it's not going to happen.

In all these rumours floating around has anyone from BioWare or EA come out and flatly said "The Mass Effect series is not coming to the PS3" or something similarly definitive?

There are of course a lot of 360 console exclusives from third parties that no one has said "it's not coming to PS3". But for the most part they are exclusives that no one has asked whether they are coming to PS3. Mass Effect is an exclusive that people have asked about a lot, so I would expect that someone must have said a definitive "no" at some point, or will say a definitive no some time soon.

At people saying they paid $60 for ME 1 and will pay $60 for ME2 and feel they're going to be ripped off if ME1+2 comes out on PS3 for $60 on a single BR disc: How do you feel about people who bought ME1 for $30 new on 360, and will wait until ME2 goes down to $30 to buy it? They will have paid half what you paid, and they have relied on you to pay full price in order for the prioce to come down. Do you feel ripped off by that too? If PS3 owners have to wiat until ME2 is nearly a year old, and ME1 is over 3 years old isn't that pretty much the same thing as waiting for the games to become best sellers?

Having said that I don't see why they'd sell a 2 for 1 "Mass Effect Collection" for the price of one game even if ME2 came out on PS3 a year late. I'd think more like 2 for the price of 1 1/2 games. That would be fair wouldn't it?

Also I wouldn't bitch about Konami putting MGS4 and MGS:Rising one one disc for the 360 and selling for the price of one game...oh wait, they couldn't, nvm.

That's a bit of a long post for someone who is sceptical about the possibility of a PS3 port. If there was one I'd get the game(s) for sure though...once they went platinum on PS3.
