You’ll have access to a variety of new tools, including the new Javelin gun that has an electrifying secondary attack, the updated stasis recharge mechanic and enhanced telekinesis ability. Don’t forget to stop at the Store to change into the advanced suit, equipped with jets that will allow Isaac full 360-degree control in zero-g space!

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!
Starting today, EA is happy to offer you the following add-ons for some of your favorite games at a lower price!
- Dante’s Inferno – Trials of St. Lucia, $4.99

@233 Momo_39648: Thanks, I still couldn’t see it, but I just searched for it and there it was :)
Yeah seriously guys. Just do a search for what you want and it will most likely be there. I got ME2 and DS2 downloading right now. I’m on the east coast as well.
*crickets* everyones off happily playing their Vietnam and Dead Space…some of us are still waiting for a WWE roster update. :/
Guys seriously, calm down. I’m downloading both right now and i’m on the east coast in VA. Just do a search in the PS store and they both come up. I swear, people complain too much. Thanks Sony for everything you do.
you must use the search to find the demos and the dcl
well if my net works right ill be gettin ds2 and me2 demos cant wait for deadspace 2 its so gunna be so epic
wow 2440 mb for the me2 demo

#264
is update but u must use the search to find the demos and dcl
Modnation, Lbp2, ME2 Dead space 2, MAG demo, and tons others are in search feature….
Ughh Now I have to wait forever or this HUGE demo to download. Lol the waiting never ends. But anyway thanks Sony for getting all this good stuff up. Also thank you for taking care of that problem with the Sam and Max episodes so quickly. I’m loving that game.
Hi guys – well, hopefully those of you who are looking to try out Mass Effect 2 are able to find it (sounds like you need to use the search function for now). I wanted to stop in to say that the BioWare team is extremely excited for PS3 players to finally get a chance to play some Mass Effect! The demo is just a small taste of the overall game, so we can’t wait for January 18 to roll around.
@chereb i think because it says that it have 3 levels out of 50 from the full game. The beta have 3, and if u think about it, if the levels are different it didnt make too much sense
was i banned from the forums and posting or are all of the threads locked? please answer someone.
@Frankman1, just check its the tower of whoop, and two other levels which are not in beta, so im dling………
Jesus Christ these demos are huge. looks like I’m deleting these worthless tester episodes. lol.
so is the WWE roster update not coming today?! because it looks like everything else is up… c’mon now.. i paid for it months ago.
@268 I CANNOT wait for Mass Effect 2 to go on sale for the Ps3. If there is midnight launch I’ll definitely be there. I’ve wanted to play this for so long. I’m stoked. Counting the days…
Awesome, glad to hear it! :)
@270
I think they are redoing the fourms. didn’t you get that one email. I did and I barely visit the forums.
Ya, im having to delete so much, i have to get a bigger hard drive
@xjordan93
You have alot of ignorence to post here, what do you mean if you were banned of course you were. You made a thread making fun of sony. JK
No everythread is locked because new forums are coming
Ok where the heck is the update, the only reason i been waiting was for the ME2 demo update, played on 360 but i want to see how different to decide whether im buying it or not.
You guys are in for a treat when it comes to Mass Effect 2. I’ve played it many times, but I’m gonna buy it again!
Can’t argue with that! The other great thing is being able to get on board the train leading to ME3 later this year. It’s gonna be a great year for the franchise!
@Karmo It is update, type mass effect in search!
the only battlefield i bought was the first one and never catched up to the other one….
@263
Yea was on of the VIP updates, on my cousins xbox it said “You may not go online until you download – Vietnam update” So I guess
Past 5 oclock almost 6 and still no update! this is like the best store update since forever and its still not up! got my money ready to spend but waiting and waiting….
@275
no i dont think i got that email but thanks. i was just making sure i wasnt banned for something. thanks

@278 Do a search for the demo in the store. You’ll find it there. The front page hasn’t updated it yet.
@281 well worth the catch up especially now with lower prices and used prices
