Thank you for the find, Sir! It occasionally amazes me how TRU can undercut a lot of the other stores on video-game prices. Unless they're just trying to bait and switch.</p>

Just my opinion but I would assume what has happened here is that TRU had grossly over estimated their sales for this game and ordered too many and now that it hasn't done as well as expected, anywhere, they are using it as a loss leader to bulk up their customer base and get folks in the door. At that price people will go for the game, even with $5 shipping.</p>

So it looks like Disney signed a deal with EA to publish/develop the star wars IP's (just for consoles/PC, disney retains the rights for mobile and social website gaming). Its announced that EA DICE and EA Bioware will be the primary 2 development studios involved in the games.</p>
</p>
DICE probably = Battlefront 3. Bioware = KOTOR 3</p>
</p>
If they had half a brain, those would be the first 2 projects green lit. Now if EA could just quit being the John McDonough of the video game world and let the developers develop and finish when they finish instead of rushing shit out the door.</p>

I was a HUGE fan of the KOTOR games and would welcome another. Those were fun as hell and showed just how great the IDEA of Lucas's universe was and how crappy his APPLICATION of said universe was. Some of Bioware's best work in my opinion.</p>

I'm so tired of hearing about it... I don't see how it could possibly be that big of deal to ruin 3 games, but I guess I'll find out...</p>

Well we'll have to discuss it next year when I finish them all... One thing I am curious about is from what I can tell the saved data carries over from one game to another which I find incredibly interesting and a very good idea. BUUUT what does it mean exactly? I mean, is it just the look and feel of your character? are there any story implications? Do stats reset if there are stats? Does it make any real meaningful interaction between the different games?</p>

If you are into the story, yes. If you aren't into the story, not really. "Side story" can definitely be altered quite a bit, as in there are a plethora of main characters between 1 and 2 that could potentially be dead in ME 3, but it really has not real impact on the game from the high level. The characters will talk about and mention your characters specific exploits, decisions you made etc. It can make achieving some goals in ME3 a little easier or harder.</p>
</p>
So essentially you may get more less cutscenes, characters are aware of what you did. characters may be alive or dead. You will get some additional side quests in some cases. there are some really minor characters that you can choose to kill or not or treat badly, and depending on what you do you will get some side quests or bonuses in later games.</p>
</p>
</p>
SO in short, there is no Main quest altering effect from them. But you do most definitely get to experience differences. </p>
</p>
So There will be instances of "Hey I remember that Guy!" from one game to another....and he will remember you and how you interacted with him.</p>
</p>
But for the record, be a sport and be nice to old Conrad Verner.</p>

That's going to drive me nuts, I'm not going to want to be missing out on stuff because I killed someone. hahaha But I assume there are different side missions for whatever your choose so it's not like you are missing any side missions you just get different side missions based on what you chose to do? I get that the main story stays the same, it has to, but could you bet from 1-3 vastly differently based on how you decide to play your character? Is there a replayablility factor?</p>

Yes there is most definitely a replayability factor. I've played through 1 and 2 3-4 times a piece. the classes are very different., you can pick different back stories, have different relationships with the characters. Keep in mind between 1-2 they rehaul the combat system (for the better, it makes combat much more fun). in 1 the combat and gear system is a bit clunky, but imo storywise is the best one.</p>
</p>
If you are a completionist like me, you will easily put 60+ hours into ME1 in 1 play through. The planet exploration is repetitive in 1 but you may miss out on some story gems if you pass it up.</p>
</p>
</p>
the intro to mass effect 1 still pumps me up.</p>

I am a completionist type, within reason of course... as long as it's still adding value to me. I'll give up a lot of times on finding that last 10 coins somewhere or something like that, haha. Should be interesting, I really know so little of the game honestly. Did you do any of the DLC for 1 and 2? This trilogy comes with some. I don't know anything about it.</p>

the "vehicle" DLC's and weapon/Armor DLC's for ME2 are kinda lame, but all the Quest DLCs are great. there was only 2 DLC's for ME1, the Quest one is worth it, and adds content in the later games if you do it as do the ones for 2.</p>

Hes not the only actual actor to do voices for the series. Freddie Prinze Jr., Martin Sheen, Keith David does Anderson (look him up you will know who he is then).</p>

Oh yeah and some broad from the series chuck. Theres probably more I just cant think of them.</p>

On PlayStation 3, Bring Down the Sky will be included both on disc and on the PSN download, Mass Effect 2 will still have the same DLC on-disc that it was originally shipped with: Cerberus Network; Genesis; Kasumi; Overlord; and Lair of the Shadow Broker. Finally, Mass Effect 3 will also be exactly as it originally shipped.</p>

you got all the good ones for 1 and 2 i.e. the ones that actually have an impact on the story, the rest arent worth it so dont bother with them. I actually havent played the DLC for 3 yet. I will when I decide to play through all three games again.</p>
