Mass Effect 1 Finally Coming to PS3 With Mass Effect Trilogy Bundle

Richard Walker

EA and BioWare are bringing together all three Mass Effect games in one box for the Mass Effect Trilogy, which will mark the first time the original Mass Effect has been available on PlayStation 3.

The release will also coincide with N7 Day on November 7th, which will apparently be “a worldwide celebration of the Mass Effect franchise” with in-game, online and live events planned for the occasion.

Mass Effect Trilogy will be released shortly after N7 Day during November, with Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 together in a single bundle for $59.99. Mass Effect 1 meanwhile, will also be made available as a standalone digital download from the PlayStation Network. Finally!

  • who needs a xbox now :p
  • Nice! Now I must have this platinum so the trilogy can be complete! :]
  • I hope they include trophies!
  • YES! YES! YES!
  • ...OOOOOH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD ...gfuss I wont buy me3 now when I can buy this bad boy!
  • Now I can finally meet Kirahi and conrad verner and all the other awesome side characters from Mass Effect 1.
  • Time for me to finally get into these games then I guess. XD
  • Never bothered to play ME 2&3 because there was no ME for the PS3. Even though people would say that you did not need to play the original to play the others. Thats like going to the movies to see only the last two thirds of a film. Now i would consider giving this franchise a play thru. Most likely they will add trophies, if they didnt that would be silly.
  • The download size of ME1 is going to be huge, isn't it. I'm not opposed to paying $60 for the bundle, I just don't want to have 2 copies of ME2 and ME3.
  • HOTHOTHOT!
  • Will Mass Effect have trophies? I hope so
  • Wow I couldn't imagine this coming one day !
  • I'm downloading mass 1! Now I can have them all again. I hope they improve the graphics a bit though on #1
  • Finally getting the whole trilogy and it's platinums in my trophy list.
  • Well neat. It would be awesome if these stacked with prior releases, then I would buy the whole set (again for 2 and 3). Probably just ME1 though as I doubt they'll stack. :(
  • Now this is something I did NOT expect to see...ever! Hope the first game will be available as a download on PSN at some point in the future.
  • i already have 2 & 3 but im buying this one Mass Efect on disc plus a sweet trilogy box :)
  • Awesome news! Been thinking of getting ME 2&3 for ages, but now I'll just wait for this.
  • This just made my day!!! :D
  • Never played any of these games. Now I might :)
  • After reading this, i made a mess in my pants!! Excellent news :)
  • Mass Effect 1 better have a platinum since I platinumed both Mass Effect 2 & 3 in the first week xD. Bioware will probably have the exact same achievements for ME1 just turned into trophies for us. But ME1 is time consuming for sure, but I'll do it regardless since I'm a die hard Mass Effect nut.
  • Never played the ME games, as like others, didn't want to play the last 2/3rds without the first part. Not sure I could resist this now! I wonder if the various DLC packs will be included as well? That would be a ridiculous bargain!
  • OMG! IF this is really coming to PS3, i'll definitely buy the trilogy box even though I have 2&3
  • More mass effect plat? Yes please. Even though we all now the story, the graphics will be outdated, and the gameplay will be different, it will be worth it.
  • I bought an xbox solely for Mass Effect, bit of a waste now this is out...found ME1 really good but very short compared to ME2, still I do like the look of the trilogy
  • also what's with 7 disks, is that for extras? or does the xbox require more than one disk per game
  • Yeah I'm totally celebrating N7 day with this. I already played ME1 but we totally need to complete this trilogy on PS3 xD
  • HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! LIFE=MADE!
  • Oh Cool!
  • @27...Yes, Xbox needs multiple discs for 2 and 3.
  • I'm yet to start my ME2 playthrough, so this is perfect! Very pleased to hear this.
  • HOLY SHIT!!! This is the best news I've heard in weeks! Can't wait to hear about trophy support for ME1!
  • Is ME1 available on disc or its Digital Download only?
  • Oh hell yes!
  • Does anyone know if it will contain all DLC, also?
  • I never thought this would happen. Even this morning, I had a random thought aout Mass effect and sighed cause it wont ever come to the ps3 and my computer don't run it good. AND THEN I SAW THIS ARTICLE AND I HAD TO LOG IN. IN FACT I USED ALL CAPITAL LETTERS TO LOG IN I WAS THAT EXCITED. here too.
  • Now all we need is halo and Xbox will just be an expensive paper weight
  • Oh man I really hope it has the DLC included... Just yesterday, I started looking at picking up ME3, looks like I might hold off, since I've never played ME1 either. Excited!!
  • IGN says it will have trophy support.
  • The release date is clever! So interesting!
  • The release date for us is later than 360 and PC. My only guess is something to do with ME1. Can't wait to see the trophy list!
  • AHHH YA BASTARD! Just bought it on Xbox! :(
  • @gordjscott You are not alone sir.. But my xbox controller stop working so i guess i will buy the ps3 download...
  • Are the save games going to work same as 360? If you kill people in first game they don't appear in other games.
  • @45 Considering we saw no zombies in ME3...
  • Duh #45. It's not like people in the Mass Effect universe can come back from the dead and pick up where they left off... ...oh wait...
  • Never played the series, not being able to play the first game always put me off. Might pick it up!
  • cool, so now i can fully understand the whole story.
  • Seems legit. Game collections are always something to go for. A price drop would be something to wait for, though, considering the first ME is super cheap on the 360, ME2 is $20, and I could go pick up ME3 today for $20 at Best Buy. But this is definitely something to look towards getting sometime in 2013.
  • Hell yeah!!! OMG!!! Will get this for sure. Now we only need Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 HD remakes with trophy support and my life will be complete : )
  • I wonder if this includes the DLC's from both ME2 + some of ME3?
  • What excellent news!
  • YAY! I already have ME2 and 3, but I...I'm seriously tempted to buy this boxed set instead of downloading ME1. O_O In any case, thank you, Bioware! ...I can't believe I'm actually doing a fanboy thing. o_0
  • I am pre-ordering this ASAP!
  • Any news on an EU release and price?
  • It's great that PS3 owners finally get to play, not only the best game of this trilogy, but also the best game of this generation, Mass Effect 1. Hope you guys enjoy it as much I've I have over the years.
  • DAAAAAAAAAAAMN. How much did it cost to get the publishing rights to ME1 on console from Microsoft? Hey Microsoft, you need and help counting that big pile of cash you just picked up? I'd be glad to... By taking a big wad of it and running away so you have less to count that is.
  • haven't even gotten to play 2 or 3 yet, even though i own them! might as well wait now, but mass effect 1, and just play them in order!
  • Looking like I may finally get this series for PS3. Be awesome if they came with some DLC, I can understand why the third game probably wont, but still would sweeten the deal even more.
  • Wow I've had Mass Effect 2 sitting on my shelf for a year and just bought part 3 and haven't even put them in the system. Now I'll get to start from the beginning. This is just awesome news.
  • Well it is about time.....after I bought and downloaded it on the pc before I played 2 and 3...Oh well this will be something I have to get in the future just so I can have all 3 on 1 system
  • 5 discs? lol. that's got to be the xbox version.
  • My God, YES!!!
  • @58 EA owns the IP, so they probably just said,"We're releasing it on PS3. Sorry!" Also, IGN says ME1 will have trophies.
  • Just like several others, I'm wondering about the DLC. Is it in the collection? It would have to be since it's the "definitive" collection.
  • Will decisions carry over? I would love to play the 3 back to back. Still not got to 3 since I want to perfect 2 first but I'll wait to do a perfect 3 in a row.
  • I think if you already have Mass Effect 2 we should get the first game for free
  • Is this getting a uk release & if so when?
  • never played any of them lol. guess i should now eh.
  • Finally now i can play this Series :D:D:D:D so happy
  • Great news!!! Glad I haven't started playing them yet :) almost caved a little while ago but definitely glad I held back :) looking forward to smashing them all out!!
  • #34 Did you even read the article?
  • YES YES YES in your face XBox trollers..... now i will play Mass Effect
  • Glad I waited on buying a 360, yet again... I did so for Oblivion, BioShock, Ninja Gaiden and now Mass Effect. Really, all that's left is Fable and I can get that fix with Kingdoms of Amalur which is the same thing, just better.
  • @73: I assume they mean separate from the trilogy, which is a valid question.
  • Well isn't this the best news ever. After this and MGS4 getting trophies, anyone saying something can't happen when it comes to video games can just shut their dirty faces.
  • Fantastic, I would love to play the series from the START this time. Oh, and it will have trophies no doubt, so that's cool.
  • So I guess I just trade in mass effect 2 and put it towards this bundle
  • Good news but I already skipped over 1 to play 2 and then 3; at this point I see it's unlikely I'd ever go back. Still, great news for those who have yet to play the series.
  • I might actually have to fork out the whole $60 for the set, even though I have ME2 and ME3 already. Since my ME3 CE game is slightly cracked from the stupid tin case it came it I'd like to replace it before it totally breaks, hopefully all the ME1 dlc is included with ME1 too.
  • I miss driving the Mako up vertical walls. Looking forward to playing this again.
  • I heard about this and I'm excited. Finally I can play all three games (I have the 2nd game) the way I wanted it to be. Here's hoping Bayonetta 2 go to PS3/360 a year later. What's next Gears of War getting a PS3 port??
  • I hope this come to the Wii U, Mass Effect 3: Special edition fr Wii U is not enough, EA and Bioware needs to make a Wii U version of the trilogy.
  • @3 I'm sure they'll include trophies, they'll just take the achieves from the 360 version and trophy-fy them :). All I can say about ME1 is about bloody time!
  • when i heard about this i was like "hell yeah" but than i began to wonder will they update the graphics and game play to be like mass effect 3. but it would be nice to see it with the mass effect 3 graphics but mass effect 1 style of game play.
  • I am pumped for this and will go through all the ME games again. For those of you who don't want duplicate titles. Trade em in or buy the downloadable one.
  • This just made my whole damn year!
  • Just picked up ME2 & 3 for $15 each, but haven't started due to school. It would be very cool to play it from ME1 to get the continuity of the story. Hopefully the disc includes the DLC. I feel a bit for those who paid face value for everything if it's now all bundled for $60 US, though it would be helpful for broke late-comers such as myself.
  • Another game to add to my list... Jesus, Good thing Christmas is coming Mass Effect Trilogy Killzone Trilogy Assassins Creed 3 Assassins Creed Liberation Borderlands 2 Medal Of Honor Warfighter Halo 4 + new XBL membership Black Ops 2 Angry Birds Trilogy (Just as a different game) The Last Of Us BioShock Infinite
  • Oh you cunts, I'd literally JUST bought ME2 and played the interactive comic :D Great news, be getting this for sure!
  • Although, I wonder if they'll add the option to skip the interactive comic in ME2? It'll be redundant now that the first game's coming out.
  • This is great news! ^_^
  • Well, good news at one hand, bad at the other as I bought ME2 a couple of weeks ago and didn't come to playing yet. I don't know what I'll do. I already kinda accepted the fact that I would never play part 1 and I already have so many games to play... Gamer problems *sigh*
  • now we just need gears and we can wave a solemn goodbye to the xbox! i may be alone in this, but i think mass effect 1 was far far better than both the sequals!
  • Bingo!
  • About time!:)
  • still havent openend my now worthless (but not when i bought it) ME3 Collectors edition. didnt play much of ME1 or 2 on 360 - but i think id appreciate them more now.
  • Awesome. Now I get to see Ashley die in real time, instead of through the interactive comic.
  • I'll get this
  • Damn... first Killzone HD, now Mass Effect 1. My OCD has FINALLY been satisfied!
  • Just realized something... if you can import your save from ME 1 to ME 2 does this mean that the requirement for ME 2's Long Service Medal trophy (Complete Mass Effect 2 twice, or experience the interactive backstory (Cerberus Pack downloadable content) and complete Mass Effect 2) will be changed to "Complete Mass Effect 2 twice, or complete it once with a character imported from Mass Effect 1"?
  • Finally. Awesome news.
  • @102 Maybe they'll need to fine tune that one with a patch not sure how else it'd work
  • I've always wanted to have a go at Mass Effect but never got around to it but as N7 is my birthday perhaps this is a good opportunity to get it as a gift. :)
  • I wonder if all DLC for the trilogy will be included!?
  • 107 no, they would of written it
  • I got a copy of ME2 once, but cpuldn't get the interactivate comic for the first's major story choices so I quit. Needless to say, I'll be diving back in when the trilogy rolls around.^-^
  • @9 mass effect 1's size is of 7 GB, and mass effec 2's is of 14 GB, so STFU
  • i wish they wouldn't stack discs on top of each other like that
  • @99 Please get over yourself. Have you even played the damn games cause you're reeking of ignorance.
  • I so cannot wait for this. Mass Effect was the first game I ever played on my 360, and I so cannot wait to have that trilogy experience. It's a shame they only included some DLC with it. I can understand leaving out some stuff for ME3, since it is still new enough, but they included the Cerberus Network for ME2, but only some of the DLC the network covered. That makes no sense to me. And, sadly, no Zaeed. That guy was fun.
  • Also, the article is actually wrong. The PS3 version of the trilogy doesn't come out until December 4th, for some odd reason. It's not mentioned in the article at all, even though this is the PS3 trophies site. :p
