Forums - Microsoft - EA ripping us off one more time

I dunno how many of you are aware, but this week EA and BioWare released the formerly PS3 exclusive interactive comic for Mass Effect 2 that allows you to make Mass Effect 1 decisions without even playing the game. Of course, did we get this in a free update? Of course not! It's up on the marketplace right now for 320 Microsoft Points ($4)! Are you guys freaking kidding me? 4 bucks for a little thing at the beginning of the game that I'll only use if I don't wanna play Mass Effect 1 again? Sounds like a deal to me!

Of course, I'll bet someone will come into this thread and tell me "if you don't want it, you don't have to buy it!" That's great, but it's a ripoff even if I did want it. Why should we pay for something that others got for free? Am I the only one grossly offended by this? I'd rather buy horse armor than waste my money on this!

Wait, I'm supposed to feel bad for you when you've had more than 3 years to buy a platform with this game on it? Forget all the other stuff you said which sounds like garbage I'd hear from EA's PR department, telling me to get over this while you can't get over Mass Effect 1 not being on the PS3 is a barrel of laughs.

Like Bristow said, it's a cheap way to get new ME players up to date.



If you want it for free buy a PS3!!



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

It being free would be an even cheaper way.

That does suck but PS3 owners had to wait a year to get a game that is both not as stable as the original 360 version, doesn't get to play the original Mass Effect before it, and had to pay full price a FULL year later. I would say that 4 dollars isn't so bad.



that doesn't sound too bad to me -.-

I thought the PS3 one was running on the Mass Effect 3 engine. Does it really have bad performance issues?

post of the day!



1. the comic is EAs property and they can do what they want with it.  you are not entitled to shit.

2. ME2 on the ps3 still retails for $60 while on the 360 it retails for $20 so even with the $4 surcharge it's cheaper to buy the 360 version than the ps3 version.
