One of the fastest street legal race cars ever manufactured has joined the pursuit!

Mass Effect 2 PS3 demo arrives today on PSN
by Jarrett Lee
Today marks the first time PlayStation 3 gamers will be able to experience the Mass Effect universe. The demo for Mass Effect 2 has arrived, allowing players to experiment with character creation (which will you chose: play as the iconic John Shepard or your own customized Commander Shepard?), play through the opening levels of the game, and even jump to an area further into the game to try out some of the more intense combat areas and see the kinds of amazing locations that can be visited throughout the story.
Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 is the most advanced Unreal Engine game shipped to date, and makes full use of the PS3’s hardware to bring this BioWare-created universe to life in spectacular detail. In fact, it was built on the same engine being used to build the recently announced Mass Effect 3! Here’s your chance to see it for yourself – and don’t forget that after the holiday the full game arrives on PS3 January 18th – including six hours of bonus missions, and an interactive digital comic designed by BioWare and Dark Horse Comics to introduce new players to the franchise. The digital comic allows players to make key choices about their back-story that will be reflected during their game.
And that’s not all!

@297 i need one of those badly
Yes it has. SEARCH
@vinnydictive Dude pay attention. He means that u have to search with the search function at the store to find what u r looking for
I live in Ohio and the store STILL has not updated. It’s 8:56pm.
Thank you so much guys! Yes I am downloading all 3 new big demos. Now I will always go to search first. ME2 first! Can wait!!!
what i’m looking for isn’t in the search box or i would have downloaded it the first time someone said “try the search box”
Ha. Yeah. I had a 60gb before that. I also got a 320gb external hd so I could move everything over to new hard drive. Ha. Good Christmas last year. Ha.
Will we be able of using the characters we create in the ME2 demo in the actual ME2 complete game? Because I played the fist one on X360 and I’m FREAKING looking forward to playing this game.
@frankman1, i’m paying plenty of attention, i’m looking at my TV right now, and it isn’t there.
@vinnydictive and what are you looking for?
its funny because the grammatic error in the vietnam dlc video at the 9.5 when its says 9,5.
“search, search, search, use the search box” do you think i’m not seeing these comments? what i’m waiting for is nowhere to be found, not even in the search box. i’m being patient, i have no problems waiting as long as it takes but don’t tell me that it’s there and to “pay attention” if it’s quite clearly not.
again, the WWE roster update (i’m aware of the alt attie for “shad” that’s up, i’m waiting for wade barrett, david otunga and justin gabriel)
Pfft Knowing Sony. Like 1 of there updates. They update the Store almost at 1am my time. So I think this will be the same. Thanks a Lot. Guy of marketing! If you guys wanna sell good. Be faster. People disappoint and go and don’t buy. Because of this.
they must be in the process of putting it up, because i can see the picture for the add on but there’s no content in it. like i said, i can wait, i have patience, but it isn’t up yet.
@312 yeah, same thing by me. Nada
I don’t like the PS3 online experience anymore. Not only do you guys bring out content late, but you lack many features XBL has. I am disappointed because I am a HUGE SONY fan.
PS – To the immature people out there who are ready to bash my opinion, read this post carefully and I guarantee you, you will agree with me.
@317 Slayer612
“Not only do you guys bring out content late”
What does this mean? Do you have some type of agreement with Sony were they promised you to send you updates at a particular time?
Look, I’ve been looking forward to this update but the day is not over. I don’t see why this means a bad “online” experience just because you aren’t getting an immediate update at some specific time *you* want it.
Relax.
psst tell me ED ;) are u going to like ME 2 on the ps3 better than the guys ;)
I’m in Florida and still no update in sight, You guys really need to get it together.
MASS EFFECT 2 is a GREAT game. Got it on XB360. No doubt it will be better on PS3
Why is all the DLC more expensive in Europe?
1 dollar doesn’t equal 1 euro.
Am I the only one excited for The Tester Season 2 finale? Really?
Anyways, come on Sony. Your updates usually come up like 3 hours earlier than this. Get on with it.
LIES! no update yet!
@Hooligantuan #300 i like Vietnamese people too my neighbors are Vietnamese doesn’t mean a game cant be fun that was many years ago and every game you can be on the other side and kill Americans doesn’t make it any different.
mass effect 2 demo on now
i wana see the tester too ive been rooting for scooter since day 1
all live now
i just feel bad for “grandpa” at christmas when billy is playing vietnam and he starts having flashbacks. (seriously)
The anticipation between now and the update is killing everyone. lol.
Also, Big Surf Island for $7… That happens to be the amount of money I have on PSN… Oh boy. Or should I get the Legendary Pack? Decisions decisions.
At this point I’m just really irritated. I’ve been patient all day, waiting from 9:00 this morning. I guess I should’ve expected it though seeing how every update takes this long. Sony really needs to fix this NOW, cause at this point it’s beyond annoying.
9:15pm for me and still not Vietnam on the store. What gives?
Sadly, the comic beginning for Mass Effect 2 doesn’t replace Mass Effect 1. I want my choices made by me not by a prescripted comic event; I want Mass Effect 1. If Team Ninja of Tecmo can port Exclusive Ninja Gaiden to PS3 users, then Bioware you can too with ME1. Stop making excuses and get it done.
So I won’t get Mass Effect 2, and if I must I’ll buy 360 for the full trilogy experience the way it was meant to be experienced.
However, even with this I cannot wait for Dragon Age 2 :D
Why say DLC available today if its gonna be available like two hours before tomorrow! Cant stand this.
@333, agreed, c’mon already!
Its all live GO GO GO GO GO GO GO!!!!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz …huh…wha..??
It’s close enough to release so just say it, Dead Space 2 Move support, yay or nay?
daum i need 2 get bfbc2
Store is up and running! if not do a search on what your looking for!
asap man
I got the Vietnam Expansion at 8:10pm EST. Just went to the search bar at the top of the PS Store, found Vietnam BFBC2 – downloaded it – only 150KB download, so we all know the actual expansion was included in that last update w/ Map Pack 7, plus patch.
As for the demos.. er..
Man! Of all the games I have downloaded and the demo’s and beta being sent… I got my work cut out for me! =D
PS3 YOU ARE THE WORST (Next to x box) IMA BUSTA CAP I REALLY WILL IM FREAKIN OUT
it is not 7pm ITS 10 PM GET TO IT NOW YOU ARE SLOW WITH VIETNAM BEEN WAITIN ALL DAY
You guys need to search it on PSN
@ 342
What do you expect? 5+ demos. Its a big ass update you know. The 360 is much worse so be quite
Haha, glad that Mass Effect 2 is truly coming to PS3. That and Gears of War were the only games I was really missing from the 360 games. Also, why no mention of LBP2?
@345 there is not mention of LBP2 in this post because EA doesn’t make that game.. and this was a post created by an EA PR rep..
will bf vietnam ever be released as a separete game, like bf 1943?
plis!
