Original Mass Effect In ME Trilogy For PS3 Boasts Improvements
See Full ImagePS3 owners got Mass Effect 2 (eventually) and Mass Effect 3, but the original never made it to Sony's platform.
However, the upcoming Mass Effect Trilogy, which is apparently coming to the PS3 although it doesn't yet have a solidified date, will boast the first ME title. And it's comin' with some big improvements, too.
Franchise producer Ryan Warden has been answering questions about the Trilogy on Twitter and while he did confirm the first ME won't ever come to the PS3 in physical form, the upgrade should be obvious. He said the "performance feels really good overall," and they're going for improved texture popping and some various touch-ups. Perhaps most interesting is that Warden said these improvements are exclusive to the PS3 version (the one in the Trilogy), while the original ME in the collection on the 360 won't feature any such changes.
The Mass Effect Trilogy is set to launch for the Xbox 360 and PC on November 6; here's hoping the PS3 version isn't too far behind.

Would still recommend the trilogy to anyone who hasn't played them.

It's cool of them, but it's a little late. Wish I would have known this was coming before I bought ME3, I would have waited!

There are several big choices to make in that game that effect ME1. There are some really cool endings you can get and little hidden dialogue options if you have high enough paragon or renegade.
I think the game stands just fine on its own, and I would strongly recommend not missing out on ME1.

OT, I've been trying to upload a pic to use as my avatar here, something similar to my PSN one, but it posts this immidiately afterwards:
500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
Huh? Can someone apparently more knowledgeable than I concerning this provide some assistance please. Greatly appreciated. Oh and I have tried with both Internet Explorer (which I'm using to type this) and Google Chrome. The image in question is also not even remotely violent or sexual. Thanks.

I found that to be the case with the other collections as well, I'd rather have the GoW Origins Collection, GoW Collection and GoW III on their respective discs than buy the Saga and have to download the Origins Collection. I was considering getting the InFamous Collection since I didn't have 2... but seeing as how I read all the previously released DLC and InFamous: Festival of Blood were not on disc ,I bought InFamous 2 (in store and on disc, preferrentially) for $20 instead and I'll just buy the DLC when the time comes.
I do however have a sealed copy of R&C Collection I intend to open up and start at some point. What I've been doing with those though is play the first, then I'll go back to continue with the second and so on, when I'm in the mood for that particular series. I've so far done so with Sly and PoP. I think I'd like to get and play The Forgotten Sands before I play Warrior Within though.

The R&C Collection is class as, and I wish that I had time to play the PoP series. I've got the four games in the 'Sands' series, but I never get the urge to play them with all the other games out :/ *First world problems*
As for your avatar issue, have you tried moving the file you want to use to another folder? Could be that the filename is invalid. Might want to try shrinking it slightly if that doesn't work. Otherwise, I dunno.

Just try different ones, I say.

I also made sure to resize them and that they did not exceed the file size cap as well, pretty sure they're JPGs to boot! Ah well, will try them again now, or to convert them. I used GIMP 2 if anyone's tried it, from what I've read, it's supposed to be the freeware version of PhotoShop and seemed to be well reviewed. I also used that program to convert the files afterward.
Thanks again!

Hmmm... A little frustrating this is. Not having any luck I am.
Well as per suggestions kindly posted, such as trying different pictures as well as from different locations, not yielding any results. They are also all JPEG file types and within the dimension and size limit. Bah... I don't know what to do. I guess I should have left my other one if I knew I wasn't going to replace it at the moment... :-(

I intended to play the game again starting with ME2 and make different choices, but it's good that we are finally getting the first game so I'm going to hold off until ME1 becomes available.
My only gripe is the distinct possibility that not all DLCs will be included on the trilogy. I don't care if they charge a full $60 for it since the games are really worth it, but why not include everything and make the trilogy the definitive version to get?

Meaning they most likely don't even need any touch ups. It was an exclusive to that platform so it must boast features as one.
Sony is a port. We're all familiar what happens to PS3 ports. Oh, yeah. They get the shaft. Ergo - touch ups.

I still cannot believe this is happening. All of you who have not played ME1 are in for a treat!

I played ME1 on 360 a long time ago, but it was really hard to read any text on the screen with an SDTV. Having not played through the first I never tried the second or third, so I'm pumped to finally get rolling on the Trilogy. (dont worry, I have since made the leap into the HD era)
I just hope It doesn't take long for it to reach the PS3

It is my favourite in the series and while people say its clunky(I disagree), it is more of an RPG and more about scale, exploration and story. Its not all up in your face action like ME2 and especially ME3 were.
It just feels like a good old WRPG with a beautiful epic space opera coating.
I might even get this again off the PSN even though I already played it on the Xbox and the PC multiple times, I just love it so much.
