as a 360 owner, i don't mind that ps3 is getting ME2, i'm happy they're getting the experience, but to give them each dlc package in the game while i had to spend more, its like they are playing favorites or something. and now they get some interactive comic which should have been included with the 360 version incase some were unlucky and didn't get to play the first? wtf, seriously, and if they improved the game for the ps3 (ie the stupid planet scanning) why not release an update for 360? please? 
 
ps i'm sure theres prolly been a couple of these things, but i'm just venting

They're not going to justify putting a full price game on shelves when it's a year old without making changes and things more incentivised.
 
Same applies to the comic, those who want to play ME1 and have a 360 can go out and buy it, and have a decent experience.

They had to wait a year. This seems like the same situation as releasing a GOTY version. I don't really see a problem. 
 
Don't hate, appreciate!

That is kinda dickish.

- 360 got it a year early 
- The motion comic is just to sum up the story of ME1, 360 owners got the actual game ME1 so there is no point of giving them a comic 
- The dlc is justified in order to make it a full priced game (you can find a copy of ME2 on 360 for $20-30 and the dlc would add up to the retail price of the ps3) 
 
This is a stupid rant.

The game is a year old.  You can buy it for 20 dollars on 360.  But it cost 60 dollars when it's new.  Because the value of merchandise changes over time.
 
This argument is so infantile and oblivious to reality it scarcely deserves the mucus to chortle at its existence.

I'm guessing you rage hard when Game of the Year editions of old games come out which include all the DLC?

I'm actually waiting for a GOTY version for the 360 myself. I'm not really pissed of about it or anyhing though.

Mass Effect 2 is $20 on Xbox right now. I'm sure a PS3 owner would be pissed if they bought it for $60 without all the DLC. The DLC PS3 owners are getting is about $30. So, they're kinda getting screwed.

They're doing it just to mess with you.

You should feel bad about making this topic.

w/e im on pc and have finished the game twice.... no ps3 owners have finished it once and its been almost a year since release.... they deserve it for waiting extra long 
its not an uncommon practice

" You should feel bad about making this topic. "

This is stupid, the game is coming out almost a year later after the 360 version. The same game coming out around a year later with all the dlc packed in sounds like a game of the year edition to me. Doesn't make to much sense to try and sell a year old game for full price with nothing new.

Im just going to point out something they did update the game to fix the planet scanning...Ages ago...Fucking ages ago.

Yeah, I was going to mention that. "

This is far from Commander Shepard's favourite forum on the Giant Bomb.

This thread put a smile on my face. It will turn into a wide grin if Bioware succeed in what they hope to do and make the game look and perform better than the 360 version :>

And if you were to buy ME2 for the X360 when the PS3 version gets released, you can probably find the same package for the same if not lower price. 
 
If you're mad about being ripped off, wait 1-2 years after the game's release and buy it on sale for $10-20. Don't expect to get a good deal and be an early adopter in the tech industry.

This reminds me of when people were actually petitioning to keep Devil May Cry from coming to the 360. Does anyone else remember this? I could have just made that up. I don't know.

Thanking loyal customers is a thing of the past.

They seem to be doing everything right with this port, but someone's got to find something to complain about. PS3 players need that ME1 game save generator. Sure, they could have done something similar on the 360, but didn't. Oh well. As for the DLC ... I don't see the problem. They're putting an old game in a new engine, adding DLC, comic ... seems to me like they're trying to appeal to PS3 owners to buy the game. Which is a damned good thing. I'm jazzed for PS3 gamers to get this one. It's a great game, and PS3 success means ME3 success in my book. Give them the DLC, especially Shadow Broker. I don't care.

well if you're going to sell a year old game to people you might as well incentivise it with some bonus content.

I feel the same way. If I bought all the dlc content on the pc, it's probally going to cost as much as another full priced copy of the game. They get it all for free, so i'm probally going to rent the ps3 version to play the dlc stuff. I already watched all the dlc content on youtube, so I know what happens though.

The game's almost a year old, it's almost like a GOTY edition. And I think that the comic being placed onto the 360 version would be a nice addition but it's only really necessary for PS3 owners due to the fact that Mass Effect will never be released on that platform.

BAWWWWWWWWWWW, go cry, little baby.

Well it'd be cool if the 360 and PC versions got the PS3 updates, but personally this doesn't bother me at all.  I'm basically done with Mass Effect 2 now, and in some sense it's right that they're giving the PS3 buyers some extra shit, because they really did have to wait a long time.

Why not just buy the PS3 version? I know I am, especially with the news of the new engine being used. Sure, it'll have been my third playthrough of it, but hey... it's Mass Effect.

Well think of it this way, 360 owners got Mass Effect and they got Mass Effect 2 a year early. It only makes sense for Bioware to give PS3 owners a good deal. Besides, using your logic game of the year editions of games are all evil since they come out with DLC included in the game. This really isn't something to get angry about.
