First Electronic Arts does have games that are console exclusive. More then likely that is what Mass Effect will remain. The reasons are plentiful, and posters have provided them. Basically the plans for the series do not include two consoles and the PC. Not if Bioware wants to reach its objectives. That is ignoring that Microsoft was the publisher for the first title, and as was said earlier they wouldn't retract their talons until they had series exclusivity at least for this generation.

You can already access Netflix on your PS3 through the browser. I am unsure as to exactly what the benefits would be for any console. With Netflix you can receive up to thirty discs per month, and you have upwards of fifteen hours of free downloads. So where would the profitability for the manufacturers be found.

I rather doubt we will ever see either console offer a portal to Netflix. However if Sony did offer it then chances are Microsoft would not have a choice in the matter. The service is so good that live in comparison is just a joke in poor taste. That could be a real propaganda coup for Sony, and a real disaster for Microsoft. However since both would probably lose profits by doing it. We will probably never see it, but I suppose we can always hope.

Mass Effect isn't like Final Fantasy where each installment is unique and whole. 

It is a trilogy with a coherant and expansive storyline.  It would not be a popular trilogy on the PS3 if it only had two of the parts. 

sony will not do netflix because the last thing they want is to push digital distribution and i think we'll get GOW 3 in early 2009

GOW - Probably

BBC- Almost definitly.  So should Microsoft and Nintendo

Dead Rising - Would make sense to go multiplatfrom

Team Ico - Don't know enough to judge validity

Mass Effect - Not going to happen.

XMB - I've heard the same.

Netflix - Not sure about Netflix... but they are going to offer it from some avenue no doubt.  Why go through a middleman though when they could start by offering a bunch of Sony Entertainment movies via download.

God of War one is probably right.

Capcom and Bioware have said that their respective franchises are exclusive to Xbox, so failure.

Yes, of course Sony has a working in-game XMB--they have to if they're release it soon.

I would assume all three companies have 'an amazing secret game' in the works.

Netflix was already confirmed for PS360.

Right now Netflix uses a MS driven GUI for it's streaming video application. If it went to something more platform independent, and it could run under Linux, then the PS3 would already do what people want. Sony would have no say in the matter. I don't think it will ever happen. You still can't even stream to Apple due to DRM issues. The movie industry is very particular.

- God Of War III is along way off, won't be released until Christmas 2009. - True especially the way Sony goes all out for GoW

- The BBC reckons Sony has an amazing secret game in the works for 2009. - True, Sony has a lot of Secrets

- Capcom is developing Dead Rising 2 for multiple platforms including PlayStation 3. - False, making this game for the PS3 would be irrelvent. The way the game is structured it is talor made for the 360 based on the achievements alone. If Sony had some type of achievement system then I would say yes.

- Team ICO's new game has links to Norse myths. - True

- Mass Effect and its sequels will come to PlayStation 3. - Not true, the devs have already said that the game will stay a 360 exclusive for the time being. Look for it on IGN.

- Sony already has a in-game version of the PlayStation 3's XMB up and running. False, if they did it would have been released already. I still think this feature is one of the most over hyped features along with HOME.

- Netflix will soon offer movie downloads straight to your PlayStation 3. - True, If Sony wants to compete with MS on digital downloads they need to offer movies via PSN. Teaming up with Netflix makes perfect sense. Sony could also offer their own movies via PSN without any help from Netflix.

 The rumor likely is false, though your reasons are nothing but stupid, ignorant bullshit.

Dead Rising 2 isn't being worked on for a number of reasons - one of them being that they're currently being sued for IP violation on the original title.

There's a possibility Mass Effect 2 and 3 may make a late appearance on PS3. certainly not at the same time as 360's releases. But I'm sure Microsoft own the Publishing rights to the first game.
