NICE!

Any chance for a trilogy release for the PS3?


Microsoft owns the rights to the first game so no. You know one and two would've been on one disc if it hadn't been for Microsoft owning ME1.


But Bioshock and Ninja Gaiden were both published by Microsoft and obviously they found there way to the PS3. Is the first Mass Effect itself funded by Microsoft? I'm guessing this is the case.


Yes, the first Mass Effect was funded by Microsoft for its creation. The own everything but the games IP which belongs to Bioware pertaining to the first game. Ninja Gaiden 2 was a totally different story. Ninja Gaiden 2 was funded by Tecmo, it's creators. Microsoft paid Tecmo for timed-exclusivity of Ninja Gaiden 2 so Sony couldn't get their hands on it in time to make a profit. Sony knew they own the Japanese market when it comes to HD sales so Tecmo basically used all of the money Microsoft gave them to make a superior Ninja Gaiden for Sony as to not displease the Japanese audience. Bioshock...well that was just a sad story, but still a good port.
