Retailers have been listing Mass Effect 2 (Xbox 360 and PC) for the PS3 the past couple of days. First, after a long while of quiet and calm, Australian retailer GAME broke the peace by listing the said game for Sony's console. A day later, the same thing came up on a Russian retailer's site. So what does BioWare have to say about all of this?

A very cute, "That we don't comment on rumors. :-)" Seriously. Patrick Weekes put that smiley on his note in the official BioWare page. Way to go for killing the flames... not. If anything, this only pushes the speculation further that the game will indeed be coming over to the PS3. After all, they're not denying it at all, they're just keeping mum about it.

I smell an official announcement coming 'round the corner any minute now.

if it indeed goes to PS3, expect some additional content exclusive to PS3.

Great news for PS3 owners if a port is coming but IMO PC is still better to play it on.

In case you didn't realize, multiplatform means that a game is realized on multiple platforms. It has nothing to do with anyone owning one of those platforms and everything to do with the fact that there are other platforms upon which you can play that game....

What if the guy was just in a good mood?

Could have just been one of those days; he got a Christmas Bonus (in October making it so much sweeter), found out his GF wasnt cheating on him but was actually learning yoga to increase her sexual repertoire and one of his work buds slipped a tipple shot of Jack Daniels into his morning latte.

Sadly now hes fired because Bioware got wind of the commotion the Smilie face of innocence was causing on the system wars board.....

Would be huge for me personally if it comes to the PS3, Mass Effect is the only thing that makes me miss having a 360.

I wouldn't care because they'll outsource it like all these other companies do and we'll have another poor ps3 port from a big company.

if it does come to ps3, it would be wise for them to port the first 1 also for those that only own a ps3.

This is true. All fanboys are liars and criminals and cheats and they all own high end PCs for ownage purposes.

You heard wrong. It is possible that Mass Effect 2 eventually comes to the PS3, however the same will never happen to Mass Effect 1. Microsoft owns the publishing rights to the original Mass Effect so they would actually have to give the ok for this to happen.

seems like the above is the latest excuse that is brought up whenever a previous 360/PC 'only' title is rumoured to go also on PS3..

anyway if ME2 truly ends up being released on PS3 its only great news since more gamers will be able to enjoy this amazing title.... not so good for 360 fanboys who will have 1 less awesome title to list as a non PS3 title for 2010 :P

Yea I know. Mass Effect was ok, but I just didn't get into it that much. Whether it comes to PS3 or not, it doesn't bother me really. What I am really annoyed about is that Alan Wake got cancelled, or put on hold, for the PC! :@ Damn developers!

This is true. All fanboys are liars and criminals and cheats and they all own high end PCs for ownage purposes.

Well, I wouldn't convict the all the fanboys just yet (The right to a fair trial):P, but he's trying to keep some sort of generalization of one faction being bad, when any rabid faction is bad.

This account he has is new to GS and SW, but he posts like he's been here for years, hmmm...
