PS3 zealots are only happy about this not being exclusive to the 360 anymore, not happy to be able to play the game.  I was thinking this would do well as its a great game but the more I read from those types on this site I think the game won't sell well at all.  A wasted effort released to an ungrateful fanbase.

For the record, as a 360 only owner I would STILL pay full price for MGS4 if it came over.  And, from what I've heard, its surely no ME2.


It'll pay off since it's basically advertising that ME3 will be on PS3 though, there are a lot of PS3 only owners that want to play ME.

I'm gonna call BS on this or at least argue it goes both ways, point of reference FF13. ME2 won't sell squillions on the ps3 but it won't sell dog turd either. It bugs me how you are always keen to argue ps3 fans only "care" about this game because it's not a 360 exclusive anymore.

I've been trying to keep quiet for a while just to be nice, but I'll go ahead and say it: To top it all off, when MUGEN made that Kinect thread, Darth immediately called it stealth trolling, even though MUGEN's history is more or less fine (with a few infractions). But when PizzaFaceGamer made a thread about Best Buy's 3DTV shares plunging, how did Darth respond, despite Pizza's obvious history? Take a look:  http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=3816029 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=3814043

Long Story short, Sony fans always = trouble, where as other fans are angels.

The game is going to sell fine. We should remember what Killzone 2 and Forza 3 taught us: Internet =/= reality.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

While I didn't really expect any different, I don't think this will really harm the sales of the game

£5 NEW.

 

http://www.game.co.uk/Games/PlayStation-3/Role-Playing/Mass-Effect-2/~r351148/?s=Mass effect 2

 

£40 NEW.

 

 

This is a year late, why isn't this a budget price release like Bioshock and various other late ports?  Don't anyone try and answer the interactive comic or whatever for ME1 is worth the £35.

It should be full price, it is essentially a game of the year edition.  It comes bundled with all the released DLC (which if you add it all up is worth about $30) plus it has the mass effect 1 interactive comic.  

I don't see any reason to complain about the price of this game unless you are also going to start a thread and complain about every single game of the year edition game that is released.

$30=/=£40

so, you expect to get the game for free and only pay for the DLC?  I'm just saying the DLC that comes with the ps3 version is worth that much.  If you bought the game on the xbox 360 today, it is $20.  To get the all the DLC that comes with the ps3 it would bring that price up to about $50.  That doesn't include the mass effect 1 interactive comic.  

So, my point is, the game should be full price.  Understand now?

I think the point of this thread is that the £5 asking price is a big F-U to anyone looking at the ps3 version. You have to understand that not everyone is savvy when it comes to knowledge of what comes with what.

Mum sees a copy of the 2 cases and thinks why spend £40 on the ps3 version when I can spend £5 on the 360 version not even considering the extras on the ps3 version (which can also be argued aren't that special when considering you can buy cheaper on the 360).

Regardless of how you think about it, £5 is a very attractive offer.

It isnt budget priced because it is essentially the Game of the Year Edition with all the DLC. So Lair of Shadow Broker is 10. Overlord 7 bucks. Kazumi Stolen Memory 7 bucks. Add in the Fire Power, Aegis, and Equalizer packs 6 bucks. Then add in the comic and the Mass Effect Story catch up and it is worth the full price.

Sure hope you're right.  This game deserves better than being the fallout of fanboy wars.
