I just can't understand WHY.

Without the original, it's pointless if you ask me...

Its NOT because they want ME3 to be on PS3....lets be honest ME2 sales aren't very good.

and maybe they couldn't justify having ME1 ont he same disc

ME3 is supposedly going to be even MORE pointless without ME1. WHat about the Rachni Queen decision? What about the end decisions? There are so many choices you made in ME1 that kind of barely made it into ME2 that I suspect will come to fruition only in ME3. Furthermore maybe ME2 sales aren't that good because ME2 itself was a worse game than ME1.

I AGREE with you

but the decision seems to be a financial one to me.

They want ME3 on PS3, so they are AT LEAST giving it ME2 because apparently ME2 will affect ME3 more than ME1 affected ME2.

This has happened just to set up ME3 to be on PS3 day and date with PC/360

It is a very pisspoor financial decision then, because ME2 itself is a very very mediocre and meh game. If they are counting on people to have ME2 as their first taste of ME then more likely people are going to be disappointed and end up not buying ME3 anyhow. Not only was ME1 better than ME2, but it also made ME2 suck a lot less.  If ME1 doesn't make it over, then this is like pissing in the wind.

Please you are extremely misinformed (just like the QTE incident in the Deus Ex thread).

This is being done as a set up to ME2 and there are many PlayStation gamers who are waiting for this because the last good WRPG released on the PS3 was Oblivion and its been 3 years since then!

{see how I can pretend my opinion is a fact in the last sentence?}

Actually I was not wrong, in fact my fear of QTEs was confirmed in the DE thread. You are in stealth and you use QTEs to kill things, so yeah, I was right in that thread too.

Possibly, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't sell well and doesn't ignite any interest in ME on the PS. Maybe they will try to include the DLC as well to try and make it like a better deal.

Edit: Also Oblivion was a very trashy game as well.
