The PS3 uses "Greatest Hits" not Platinum. As for Mass Effect, MS owns the publishing rights for the console version, and EA for the PC version. That was the agreement they had

In EU/PAL territories, Sony's "Greatest Hits" are released as Platinum titles.

 However, instead of silver, the box is banded in an awful yellow colour for the PS3.

Eww...

XbAs an Xbox fan I can say I hate bioware games. I hated KOTOR and mass effect. I hate the diologue wheels,generic story, and glassy stoned acting. I prefer the jrpg method of using cgi and pre scripted diologue and anime story line and I hate anime. Its just great in jrpg's.

I hate platinum hits box art, boxes, in every way, shape and form.

It's nice to be able to get the games cheaper, but why make the packaging look cheap? It's not like it costs any less by changing it.

It makes me not want to buy it and go out of my way to get the original versions.

 

Right! Platinum covers ruin all the artwork...

Yes, it is really annoying, I was quite lucky to get a proper Gears of War. I also have two stains on my PS2 collection, with my platinum Jak and Daxter and Kingdom Hearts, I was trying to rebuy them recently and the platinum versions were the only reasonably priced ones... they really stand out. However, the yellow on the PS3 ones just look awful

 

Anyway, I did expect this to be an EA published game, but I suppose M$ have the rights to all version of this game on Xbox

The nice thing about platnum games is that they lower the price of the same non platnum games that are still in circulation.



Great news to see that Mass Effect is now $19.99 with the expansion pack.

This is a MUST BUY for every 360 owner.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

It has been 29€ here ages
