A mass effect platinum club.

Do you have to be a top-notch player?

Both the 360 & PC versions I have sport an EA logo upon start-up...

The 360 version is the 'Platinum Hits' edition, but not the PC version...

[/quote]Really?

I have the Platinum Hits version of the first Mass Effect, bought for Bring Down the Sky on the bonus disc, and the EA logo does not appear appear when starting the game, just the one for Microsoft Games Studios.

Forgive my scepticism but are you sure your copy of Mass Effect starts with an EA logo?

As a side note both the Platinum Hits and PC version of Mass Effect come with with Bring Down the Sky included for free.

I was told randoms are in the upper echelon of player skill. There is no way any of you had problems playing on Platinum with these ultra elite randoms lurking on Mass Effect 3. /sarcasm

A warning to other users thinking of purchasing Platinum Hits- I've had major problems installing other the other Mass Effect DLC after using the disc to install Bring Down the Sky. It really isn't worth getting unless you have no internet access or don't
plan on getting the other DLC pack.

I use the 'Platinum Hits' version of MASS Effect, including the 'Bring Down The Sky' install, and have had no troubles whatsoever installing 'Pinnacle Station' plus ALL DLC for both ME2 & ME3, what exactly do you mean by "major problems"? There have been
some issues with the ME3 DLC, but they have absolutely nothing to do with the 'Platinum Hits' Bonus Disc of MASS Effect. I saw a 'Platinum Hits' copy at 'The Real Canadian SuperStore' here in Canada last week with a $15 price sticker on it sitting in the
bargain bin, kinda hard to argue that it "isn't really worth it", that's a "steal of a deal" if I ever saw one..

so apparently none of the dlc will be included, so there's that hidden price tag for new users...

not sure what the deal is on the ps3 side. me1 is a brand new thing so they could theoretically drop pinnacle station and bring down the sky in with the release, and me2 had most of the dlc included minus i think just the arrival, and of course me3 is a
work in progress...not excited about rebuying most of the dlc, but it'll be great to start with a completely new character and fresh trophy list, mass effect might be the first game i platinum...

Well, that's a little disappointing on the PS3 side in regards to DLC, but seeing as how I already have (and platinumed!) both ME2 and ME3, I'd be excited to buy the original Mass Effect on the PS3. Hopefully I can get it on disc without having to rebuy ME2
and ME3...
