Because we know you like the news “now” (and the fact that we can ninja edit this article later over some hot cocoa, caressing its sentences and paragraphs like a Renaissance maestro lovingly polishing his latest masterwork) here’s the big news from EA’s conference happening right now over at Gamescom.
Mass Effect 2 is coming to the PS3 in January 2011.
There you have it. You start the ball rolling with comments below, and we’ll be back later (with the cocoa) to fill in any details we missed upon first hearing the crack of the megaton.

Sorry, what is Mas Effect 2? :)
Charmed_Fanatic
Yay, finally, a chance to play this game series
Redwink
YES!

This is awesome! I’ve been wanting to play this game for a long time, but my lack of a 360 and having a non-gamer pc has kept me from doing so. I recon it will only be a matter of time before the first one is announced to join the sony side aswell.
Kovacs
Don’t hold your breath. Unlike ME2, Microsoft published ME1.
maneorix
Only the 360 version though. EA published the game for PC. But still it does make it more complicated..
Kovacs
360 version was first and MS ponied up the money for it. That’s the crux of the problem there.
maneorix
I see the problem, hopefully they’ll sort something out though so it’s not a direct port..

The 360 has lost another exclusive and it’s a safe bet that ME3 will also be on PS3. The 360 loses a lot of it’s exclusives because of it’s lack of 1st and 2nd party devs. Sony has loads more and their exclusives stay exclusive.
cc_star
What 3rd party exclusives have stayed?
Kovacs
Splinter Cell Conviction comes to mind. For now …
;)
monkeyspoon
I expect a port of that is in production for release once M$ exclusive contract expires.

11 March 2011 in Europe, March 8 2011 for America.

They’re the dates for Dragon Age 2.
Kennykazey
oops, sorry… well then (attempting to make up for faceloss)…
above you find the Dragon Age 2 release dates posted here on this ME2 topic for your convinience. :P

It’s good to have another popular series on the ps3 but unless they release the first one as well then I probably won’t bother with it.
Still a chance of a Left 4 Dead announcement this week too.
Kennykazey
Now all we need is Halo.
BIGAL-1992
Never going to happen, Halo is owned by Mircosoft.
jimmy-google
Gears of War, Alan Wake, Left 4 Dead and Splinter Cell Conviction would be higher on my list (probably Crackdown as well)
ProjectJAY
Crackdown is published by Microsoft last time I checked. As is Gears of War. And Alan Wake :S
BIGAL-1992
So only splinter cell left. Not bad in my opinion.
ProjectJAY
Splinter Cell and Left 4 Dead. Both excellent :D
monkeyspoon
I would put money on Splinter cell being announced some time in sept. It will be around 6 months after the 360 version was released. I bet it’s due for release in feb march time. Hopefully it will be hd this time.
Topgearsam
really enjoyed the first one and this has saved e from getting the 2nd one on 360
hopefully they wont put it at full price around £25 would be decent
Porcupine_I
Microsoft will regret making that new 360 so quiet!
Now they can hear the whining :-D
Klart
Joke of the day!
OT: Might be getting that. Looks up my ally.
