Mass Effect 2: PS3 Blu-ray Content

For a while we have known roughly what to expect to be included in the PS3 version of BioWare’s sci-fi RPG. Now following a minor Internet fire storm over what were apparently some poorly translated interview comments from BioWare’s Casey Hudson that appeared in German magazine Play3 more details have been published.

In a post on the BioWare forums, Jesse Houston, Producer for Mass Effect 2 on the PS3, has revealed which pieces of DLC will be on the Blu-ray and the first information about the promised “nice introduction experience”.

The DLC missions included with the game will be Lair of the Shadow Broker, Project Overlord and Kasumi: Stolen Memory.  In addition the Blood Dragon Armour that PC and 360 players could gain access to via a cross-game promotion with Dragon Age: Origins will be ready to wear.

The introduction experience will take the form of an interactive comic that is being produced in a collaboration with Dark Horse Comics.  It will be

…a stunning visual experience that not only tells the core story elements of Mass Effect 1, but also is fully interactive allowing you to be faced with some of the major choices which will have consequences [for] your Mass Effect universe.

The wording of the forum post suggests that this comic will be available from the Cerberus Network, a code for which will be included with the game.  All the DLC on the Cerberus Network will be available to PS3 players.  Access to the Network is BioWare’s enticement to get you to buy a new, rather than secondhand, copy of the game.
