360 - Mass Effect - BioWare looking into Mass Effect 'Pinnacle Station' DLC glitch

A recent Mass Effect forum thread has revealed that a sizable snafu has cropped up among the early adopters of the game's recently released (and still unannounced) Pinnacle Station DLC -- while players can download the intergalactic Fight Club scenario problem-free, the content isn't actually showing up in-game for some folks. Posters in this forum thread report that Pinnacle Station conflicts with the Bring Down The Sky DLC content that was bundled with the Platinum Hits version of Mass Effect.

BioWare doesn't deny PS3 Mass Effect

360 - Mass Effect - BioWare doesn't deny PS3 Mass Effect

CVG writes: "BioWare CEO Ray Muzyka refused to rule out the possibility of a PS3 version of Mass Effect during an interview with CVG at Gamescom last week even though we kept pecking.

When quizzed on why the developer chose not to bring the series to PS3, Muzyka said: 'I think a more accurate way to frame it is to say we've announced we're developing Mass Effect for 360 and PC. Right from the beginning we said we wanted to deliver Mass Effect on the 360. Right now all we've announced is we're working on 360 and PC.'"

RPG Land: RPG Deals 8/16 - 8/22

360 News from N4G | Mass Effect

360 - Mass Effect - RPG Land: RPG Deals 8/16 - 8/22

Target has Mass Effect for $14. Most Target stores will have the regular copies, but there's a few Platinum 2-Disc Editions with the 'Bring Down the Sky' bonus content. If Mass Effect 2's trailer got you going then picking up the first one is a good way to both refresh and used the saved data for your next playthrough.

Of course, you can buy it from Microsoft's new direct download service, but you lose out on the free DLC chapter and have to spend $6 extra. Not having a disc to get inevitably scratched up is a pretty good deal on its own, though.

360 - Mass Effect - BioWare Comments on Mass Effect DLC

Vaguely announced via a Twitter post, the second bit of downloadable content for BioWare's Mass Effect role-playing game is still something of a mystery. While the initial announcement promised more details soon, a follow-up post made it seem as though the timing just wasn't right. We recently had the opportunity to ask BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka what was going on.

"We haven't announced it formally yet but I think you can expect something in the next little while," he said. "Probably some kind of announcement about [the ME DLC]. It's pretty cool. I've been playing what we're working on there and fans will find it fun."
