I guess I'm just posting this for anyone who got the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 today. The Cerberus Network codes don't work. I called EA's customer service line and there was a pre-recorded message telling me if I was calling about the cerberus network I should be aware that they are trying to fix the problem. This kind of thing really aggravates me, but I'm glad to know that it's a real problem and not that my code was used.
EDIT: I just realized this means that I can't make the choices from Mass Effect 1 until EA fixes the problem. This really sucks.
Mass Effect 2
Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Jan 26, 2010
After a violent death by an unknown force and a timely reanimation by the human supremacist organization Cerberus, Commander Shepard must assemble a new squad in the seedier side of the galaxy for a suicide mission in the second installment of the "Mass Effect" trilogy.
Cerberus Network Codes for the PS3 don't work
Dont worry you aren't the only one. The day I dont have to go to school is the day they screw this up. Perfect.
" Likely an issue with enabling the keys in time with the release. I'm guessing with yesterday being a Holiday they ended up enabling them today instead of yesterday. "That and probably your typical day one type problems. Usually there is nothing you can do except wait it out.
" @CaLe said:Also there are two more DLC's down the line and those will be available through the Cerberus Network." So the DLC is not included on the more than spacious Blu-ray disc? "the cerberus code is there to stop people trading their game in, i guess thats why the cerberus stuff isnt on the disk "

Also, the previous pay DLC didnt require CN
" @kyrieee I think Bioware said there will be three DLC that will link ME2 to ME3. Lair of the Shadow Broker was the first one. "Yeah, they plan to have a few more pieces of DLC starting in the summer and leading up to ME3's release. They've stopped updating the Cerberus Daily News thing too, until this summer, to coincide with the release of the DLC.

At least one more piece of DLC is coming:

That's what you get for buying Mass Effect 2 on day 1.
I'm kidding. I'm very jealous that you have it already.
anyone know anything about the comic? i'm just a little bit in but i imagined the comic would've played at the very begining.

And yes. Two more.

Not here to gloat or anything though, actually I'm happy that you PS3 owners can finally play this great game. The more people who buys and plays ME games the more games they can make =) I get the itch to play it again just thinking about it, but I've already played as pretty much every class and done everything.
Just a tip, the Widowmaker sniper rifle rules, always choose the Widowmaker when given the option =)
" @allenibrahim said:Sentinel all the way! At least...what I've played of the game so far. Borrowed PC version of 2 from a friend for a weekend and played as Sentinel. Got fairly far, but eventually gave up because my PC didn't run it super smoothly and I wanted to play 1 (which runs WORSE). So now the PS3 version's out and I have to wait about 4 weeks before I can get it due to the incredibly slow rate with which I get moneys. Did play the demo twice. Once as default Male Paragaon Shepard and again as Custom Male Renegade Shepard which was VERY fun." That's what you get for buying Mass Effect 2 on day 1. I'm kidding.

Does anyone know if I buy this game on a temporary replacement PS3, and intend on returning it once my phat is fixed... can I re-download the game on my other system, after de-activating it on the temporary replacement? Or is it a 1 download, and that's it?

Question -
As someone who Gamefly'd the game, I don't have access to such a code. The game is installing as I type this, and I wonder how big of a negative impact of not having the code will be.
