Mass Effect 2 PlayStation 3 Release Details

We know the PS3 release of Mass Effect 2 is less than a week away, and community coordinator Chris Priestly shoots over some additional details on the official PlayStation blog, key amongst which is that the title will see a simultaneous release on PSN and retail.

PlayStation fans have been asking for Mass Effect for years and we are very pleased to finally be bringing it to a new branch of Mass Effect fans. However, what I think Mass Effect fans on the PS3 will be most appreciative of is that this is not a simple port. The Mass Effect team has taken the time to utilize the PS3 hardware to the fullest in order to maximize your gameplay experience. It was also extremely important for the team to make sure playing with the PS3 controller worked and felt good. You will also see that the in-game graphics and cinematics are clearer and more vibrant on the PS3. As an added bonus, the PS3 version includes previously released DLC missions: Overlord, Lair of the Shadow Broker and Kasumi.
