Okay, 1 game. I think you need to update your definition of “notoriously pirate-able”. I google “ps3 pirate”, I get the first link having to do with people pirating PS3 games. I google “xbox 360 pirate”, I get the first two links. Whereas, with a notoriously pirate-able platform like the PC, I plead the 5th on the pirating info. I wouldn’t know where to start for PS3 or 360. Neither of them are notoriously pirate-able.

hay Evismang you should keep up on your news GTA4 for xbox 360 was leaked on the internet before it was released, i think that qualifies as notoriously pirate-able, for a source try google.

Weird. I haven’t heard of the 360 as notoriously pirate-able..Care to provide a source?

Hmmm… if they’re so angry about piracy, then why do they release their games on two notoriously pirate-able platforms? And then keep snubbing the ps3? It just clears the conscience of any ps3 owner with a decent pc who’s thinking of stealing the game.

Evismang, that’s true, but they could very easily include some sort of recap in Mass Effect 2 that would go over the story from the first game. That’s one possible solution.

And wow, it’s quite possible they didn’t plan for it to come to PC, or they simply had an exclusivity agreement that wouldn’t allow a PC version to be unveiled until after the 360 version was released. It’s not like you *have* to buy the game on PC, too, so I don’t see how they’re squeezing the pennies out of you.

Well why would PS3 owners want the rest of the Mass Effect series if they miss out on the first installment? They’d be missing out on an essential bit of story. Not like Final Fantasy, where each game is set in a different time/universe.
