Regardless of all this there is one thing that they will never have: ME1 save imports. So if you don't already have it for something else, I would go get both of those games now. The DLC ain't worth it.

according to the box art 
overlord, stolen memories, and the liar of the shadow broker on disc 
Also there will be a new intro to let PS3 players make Mass Effect 1 choices.

" @Raven_Sword: It's not free, the PS3 version is actually more expensive than the other versions with DLC included. I don't get why you say free, you're still paying for it. "

" @trophyhunter: It's out on PC too, duhhhh. And yes your argument would make sense if the game wasn't already a year old. That's like me paying full, new game price for Assassin's Creed 2 plus it's DLC right now when it can be bought for much less than half it's original price. "

O god here we go.

" @trophyhunter: Maybe if you weren't so ignorant you'd know that the PC version is the best version of the game? "

" @trophyhunter: Right....   But it's still a year old game, so the PS3 users should still pay the premium price?   Also it all plays a little close to the nose when PS3 only owners just praise their version nonstop like it's the clear winner, when really they're sort of getting gypped. "

it's official. for US, Jan. 18th, 2011. for the rest of world, Jan. 21th.  
of course, it comes with all DLC (6 hours worth playtime. kasumi lost memory, overlord, lair of shadow broker, and other small DLC). 
the price? $59.99. if you like, never played it, grab it. I doubt someone who visits, and post here never played mass effect 2? I highly doubt it. I believe that you guys already finished it few times at least.  

The PS3 version is $60 and you're getting 3 pieces of DLC 360 owners paid roughly a combined $25 for. Not to mention the free pieces of DLC. And the ability to import Mass Effect 1 characters and enjoy the story of ME1 without playing the game which honestly does not hold up. If PS3 only  owners pass this up you should be ashamed of yourselves. 2010 GOTY for sure.

" @The_Laughing_Man: @trophyhunter: If you buy the game now for PC or 360, included the DLC in, it will be around 40 bucks. The PS3 version is 60.  Paying 60 dollars for a year old game and 3 DLC packs, two of which are pretty small, that is a lot considering how much the other versions are selling for. "

...technically nothing is free considering the game costs $60 bucks.  >.> 
 
But it has all the DLC.

Honestly question your reasoning ability... seriously. "

" [...] and better graphics.  So the $60 can definitely be justified. "

What's your source on this? They've never mentioned they would enhance the graphics in any way, isn't it just a port? "

To the people pointing out the lack of ME1, the game comes with an interactive comic that lets you finish the ME1 storyline before jumping into ME2. This lets you save the Rachni, keep Wrex alive, save the council etc. Not sure about the romance options but PS3 players will be on equal ground going into ME2.

You can get ME2 brand new for the 360 for $15-20 so even with all the DLC, it will still be cheaper than $60. Not to mention that you can't import a ME1 save, which is a huge thing imo!

Hopefully the motion comic includes the scene with the reporter, if not then PS3 owners will be missing out on the greatest of choices, one that also has dramatic effects on ME2.

It's Mass Effect 2 running in the Mass Effect 3 engine.
That seems like a pretty big thing.

Don't they all use Unreal Engine 3? "

Comparing launch prices seems the right way to go about it, in which case the PS3 version's obviously getting DLC content for 'free'.
 
I don't see the point in comparing how much you could get Mass Effect 2 for on the PC or 360 now to how much it'll cost when the PS3 version debuts. It's an old game for PC/360 users, but new for PS3 users, so it'll be priced accordingly on each platform respectively.   
 
Also, chances are the people interested in the PS3 version don't care about how much cheaper it is now on the 360 and PC cause they only have a PS3. I doubt they'd buy a new console/upgrade their PC just to save 15 bucks.

My bet? The PS3 version will release almost simultaneously with the 360 GOTY edition which will also include the DLC. I'm not sure they will use the ME3 version of UE3 for that, but they might. And they'll cost the same price. That's what you get when you wait a year to buy a game, like PS3 owners (technically) have.

The PC that's cute hahaha. "
