go 360!

Both versions will only come out in 2010...

A $200 upgrade is still a better deal than an Xbox 360. PC games are cheaper and no online fees, you will get your money back with the upgrade and then some.

This maybe one of the casualties of EA scaling down their PS3 production. More than likely EA would like to bring this game to the PS3 but the cost of the port may not justify the end.

In talking about big titles for EA's next fiscal year, CEO John Riccitiello dropped hints about the future of the epic space-themed RPG franchise Mass Effect.

"[In Q4], BioWare will release Mass Effect 2 on multiple platforms," he said during a Tuesday earnings call.

Riccitiello did not specifically mention the PS3 in his statement, but the nature of EA as a multiplatform third-party publisher would suggest that "multiple platforms" would include Sony's machine in the equation.

Whether or not the ME2 comes to PS3 hinges on what kind of deal MS made with Bioware before they were purchased by EA. If MS had an exclusivity deal in place before hand, EA would be able to release any ME titles on PS3. I don't think that is the case because if it were, I'd think EA would have released ME1 on PS3 by now.

If the MS's contract only covered the ME1, MS published Mass Effect and paid for its development, then ME2 and ME3 could appear on PS3. If that is the case, it puzzles me why there has been on announcement thus far.

Honestly I think some sort of deal was struck. What it means for a PS3 versions of ME2 and ME3 I don't know. EA doesn't make exclusives. Yet, they had to concede something to MS for the PC publishing rights to ME1. Since their has been no exclusives titles released by EA on the 360, you have to wonder what EA gave up to get those rights.

Pretty ambiguous. This could be something like, "Pay up, Microsoft, or your pretty little 'console exclusive' gets it!"

For those of you who said it would make no sense to put a sequel on a console that never saw the first may I point you towards

Tekken and Devil May Cry, Saint's Row


Its kind of funny to see the tables turn I mean I am almost certain that PS3 fans were sick and tired of hearing MGS4 on 360 rumors and now that its Mass Effect 2 on PS3! 360 fans seem to be getting a little agitated.

I guess it is no more or less ambiguous than the original post claiming it is PC/360 exclusive.  I would take the CEO's word over the PR department's word every time.  If it is coming to the PS3, I think they would announce it at GDC or E3.

That is true.  Also, each Final Fantasy story I believe is a reboot of the back story.  They are all not connected.  Well, some elements get recycled, but not characters.  This is why FFVII was able to jump to the Playstation console, and people have very different opinions of each game in the series.

My point was that it sounds like it's up in the air. We already know that it's multiplatform, since a PC version has already been confirmed. The ball might be in Microsoft's court to make a hat out of moneys.
