I do see visual improvements though..though slight. Its said to be using the ME3 engine... i'd expect abit more from ME3.
Game does play well with the ps3 pad though.. thats something that always worries me. And though i have it for the 360 i am tempted to pick this up cheap for the 8hours of extra content.
Those that havent played ME2 before and only have a ps3 should definatly pick this up without a second thought.
Cutscenes from the demo has some screentearing issues, I am hoping the demo is quite old and this wont be in the final retail version.
Visually it looks great, very sharp and vibrant with sometimes the FPS would go above 30 which is nice.
Awesome trailer too :)
Can't wait for next week!

And there aren't 8 more hours of content, you know. there are the 3 paid DLCs bundled In, the same three that were in sale for 600 points or 6 dollars two weeks ago that any dumb loon even without the game and just a slight interest should shoulda just picked'em up without even thinking for that price.
In the end you get a 60$ year old port that doesn't seem to be goint to fare well in the performance department, when you could just get the same game now on PC or console (with DLC) for 20 bucks.

Anyway, platform preference is always an important factor when deciding which version of a game to get and I can see why someone would want to get the PS3 version (they'd rather the extra DLC be tied to a disc rather than an account/console so they can share the game and they'd also like their content to be on one disc versus the two of the 360 for both this game and ME3).
I'm personally sticking with the PC version, but go for it if you want the PS3 version.
Also, EA is experimenting with day and date PSN release with this game. Should be interesting.
The user interface is different as well, and using a one of those controller programs to map the buttons just doesnt feel comfortable at all.
If the game on PC would support native 360 controller then it would have been amazing, but unfortunetly thats not the case.
Also my PC can handle ME2, 1680x1050 resolution, everything maxed out (not much graphical options anyway) and can run it without a hitch.
The only thing that bothered me was the intro cutscene that had bad screentearing, but looking at the trailer, it seems reduced.
I just hope they fix that and then I dont have any issue.

How bad is the situation really? Will it treat a controller as if it isn't even plugged in, or it just doesn't like certain brands, or it just doesnt' change the prompts to suit the 360 controller?
Is Mouse movement smooth or is it pixelated?
Also, due to the completely different interface, a controller just wouldn't work since it is a circular pause screen on consoles versus a more straightforward screen on PCs. Not to mention hotkey set up. I guess Bioware didn't want to include both because they were a bit too lazy.
The user interface is different, it is designed for mouse/keyboard.
Even Bioware said the PC version doesnt support a controller at all.
Mouse is very smooth, feels great.
But I can't play for more than 2 hours, I just dont like to keep my arms up and seperated to hold the mouse and pressing the buttons on the keyboard, I just dont see it being comfortable.
Yet, if jackdoe is correct about ME1, I may get upset.

The UI is specifically made for mouse/keyboard. The UI is definitely good for sure :)

One thing that really bothers me is when you are running sometimes, Shepard's head is locked and looking at one direction all the time until you stop moving then it gets back to normal.
Happen frequently, both on PC and PS3 demo, I also heard from Raptor its the same on 360.
This happens only in Mass Effect 2 though, and I hope they fix this on the retail version for PS3, makes Shepard look stupid when he runs when it happens.
I will probably buy the PS3 version for $20 down the road
