I haven't researched it, is there more DLC packed in with the 20 dollar Platinum Edition? Or should I just plop down the 20 and DL it from XBL? Always good to get a second opinion before trusting M$, especially with such a new service.

I don't think the DLC comes with the Platinum Edition but I'd still buy it in stores. There's only one DLC out right now anyways, and only one more on the way.

So no one trusts the current Games on Demand service?

Its not that I don't trust it, but you can find a better deal for the game somewhere else, plus you don't have to use up 6 GBs of harddrive space.

the DLC does come with the Platinum, I think. buying Mass Effect via on demand and buy the DLC will only run you $25.

depends how much you are willing to pay, the game imo is one of the if not the greatest game of the current gen but if your getting screwed like us australians are then buy it retail (it is $99.95 which is the equivalent of a brand spanking new game of the shelf)

Buy the recently released 2-disc special edition, don't bother with the On demand version. The 2-disc version is twenty dollars and it comes with the DLC a free premium theme and more.

Yeah, the Platinum Edition includes Bring Down the Sky. Just comes as a second disc with some other extras like themes, gamer pics, etc. It is a good deal! I say do not download anything of value, I would much rather have a hard copy!

Even if it was the same price, I'd rather get it in stores. I would like to have the case and manual and sorry, I don't want to support this service

The one reason I'd take Mass Effect for Games on Demand over the store is the no-worries about scratching your disc and I'm fairly sure they're both the same price new. Although the DLC does come with platinum, I'd recommend you playing ME first before wanting to have the DLC because personally it's not really that good to begin with imho.

Just buy it on amazon. I got it for 9.99, then bought the DLC. Better than paying 29.99, then paying for DLC.....

I might also get it off of Games on Demand... But the problem is I won't be able to return it if I don't like it.. and I'm inbetween ME and Oblivion.. and I loved oblivion.
