I thought that is was common knowledge that in the business world, even if your company moves to another mother- company, you still have to honor ALL time-committments to the prior mother-company you were under until they expire. In some cases, the contract can be indefinite.I'll let you take a potshot at what kind of contract MS and Bioware made with one another regarding the first ME.

Adrian_Cloud

lol, no you don't. Too human has now been o three different platforms if thats any evidence. And appearantly thats whole contract thing is void since EA now owns all the rights to there games :|.

Don't have the contract.. just do some research?

WOW, that's without a doubt the most ignorant statement I've seen in some time. If EA refused to honor the contract MS signed with Bioware over ME they would get the crap sued out of them. EA knows this, MS knows this, most people who have ever signed a contract for anything know this. How you don't know this implies you have never had a business dealing before in your entire life.

Let me put it this way. If you signed a contract to buy a Honda and immediately following Honda got bought out by Toyota you don't automatically get a free car. The contract simply transfers to Toyota and you would now owe them the remainder of the payment to Toyota. If you tried to say the contract was void you would wind up in court so fast your head would spin and you'd have a collosal black mark on your credit.

Its even more simple... Mass Effect in 2008 on PC/PS3 on 08. Is a simple prediction of probable events. Now to make it even simpler your implying that there is this grand contract that has this game locked up till kingdom come, dont imply or even suggest that. To make matters even easier EA owns the rights, now the main quarrel was with MS being the said "publisher", of a game of which they neither own or are going to publish.

there i saved you money and time. If you disagree about anything else PM... this threads needs to die.

MS paid Bioware for exclusive rights to the first instalment of ME. EA bought Bioware. Effectively MS has now paid EA for exclusive rights to the first ME. Unless EA or Sony agrees a massive lump sum to buy those rights back from MS, you'll never see ME1 on a PS3. Unless of course the PS3 suddenly becomes a roaring success and MS deicdes to publish games on that platform (not gonna happen).

Or MS could go bankrupt and the liquidators could sell back the rights to EA. Clearly that won't happen either.

Someone needs to go brush up on their contract law.

It's been a year now and still all first party exclusives are only on par with R:FOM but not better. And remember I am talking about the actual ratings. I guess it is safe to say that R:FOM indeed realized the PS3's potential and it's games wont improve anymore. Well a little sad but that's the way it is.jonymac_1220

Slick_Rican... you really need to stop using multiple accounts (see similar lame thread addressed at sheep). It's not good manners.

Why did you bother posting this drivel?

This game seems to me more like Pitfall than anything else. Shows that people don't know enough game history.

Bread_or_Decide

That's a blast from the past :)

Ratchet and Clank = AAA

Out_Kast3000

You must have missed the memo... it is not AAA.

There is a stickied thread for this.

Cue closure.

The difference is that these 90,000 people (if the number is to be believed) bought the units with the sole purpose of watching high def movies.

If anecdotal evidence is to be believed,many PS3 owners aren't even aware that they can watch Blu Ray on their console.

360 for me too.
