Although I don't own a PS3, I'm glad that Bioware is expanding the franchise. 
 
Also, thank god I finally got that quest.

Guess this is cool for those who don't have a 360 or a decent PC.

This is one of those games that as a PS3 owner I was sort of interested in from afar before it came out. I'm less sold on it than I was in the past, but I may pick it up now it's coming to PS3.

Good that it's coming out on PS3, but it's strange to see a current gen sequel without it's predecessor come out.

 The Bioware Social site is freaking out. It's kinda funny/annoying.

This is great news for PS3 owners. Mass Effect is a great game, but now they have to port the original.

Great... Considering how glitchy and buggy their games are when on the 360.  I can't wait to see how bad they are on the ps3.

This is great news for the ps3 folks.  But seriously if they can't port ME1 over too this is all for nothing.  And I don't see that ever happening since Microsoft owns the publishing rights to ME1.  You really need to experience ME1 first before even thinking about playing ME2.  Just my 2 cents though.

The rumour / hope was that ME1 would be bundled with the ME2 port. Given that the first game was pretty huge, it would have been a trade-off in development time.
 
You don't really need to have the first story but it's a bit like getting Empire Strikes Back without A New Hope - arguably you have the better one but you lack the context and character arc of the trilogy.

I know that burnout, infamous, and red faction came out on The PSN so ME1 could show up their and not hassle the bioware guys to much with shipping and manufacturing . But there's port work and legal stuff and as a man who only owns a playstation 3 but loves games first and foremost I want ME3 to be the best it can be. So if we some how get ME1, Hurray! If not i'll just play this and keep my dragon age dude around.

So game of the year 2010 for PC & 360 will be game of the year 2011 for the Ps3?
Awesome news either way, but a little strange without ME1.

They can't port the first one because it was published by MS. Too bad because if the PS3 would fix all the glitches in the first I would re-purchase both for it.

ME1 will never be on ps3. It was published by Microsoft so they won't let it happen. Hopefully the extra content they refer to in the press release is some sort of way to input the choices you made if you played the first game, either through a menu or better yet an interactive comic.

So where is Mass Effect 1? Then again they could just make it the most amazing super special preorder bonus to have ever existed.
 
Most of all, I sure hope you PS3 owners don't get boned with another shitty port. If Bioware is smart and they want to continue their expansion on PS3, the better work out all the kinks.

No problem with it coming to PS3 - share the love I say - But they really need to think about bundling it with Mass Effect 1. I suppose they could top it with a "story so far" video, but half the  fun was seeing how all your decisions carried through.

WOW.  MSFT must have not published this one. Actually, come to think it, it was an EA joint.

This is making me want to play the game again and lol at the people who first dismissed this game when it came out and are then acting excited since it's coming to PS3.

While I split my game library between my Xbox and PS3.. Mass Effect was one of the only console exclusives keeping me firmly with the Xbox.. if I can Shepperd on the PS3, I may be able to trade in my Xbox in 2011.
