    How is this strange? the first third will take place in certain locations, middle in different locations and then back to the earlier locations. No brainer at all. What is confusing is; that some people find two disc games for consoles require disc swaps confusing.

    Preordered it on the PC so no problem for me! (£10 cheaper at the time of ordering as well).

    Oh no, the world is ending. God forbid should you get up from your sofa and change discs - TWICE! How dare they!

    And this is why PS3 rocks!!! Take your 360-suXx0r elsewhere lolololololololol, it cant even do HD because it doesn't have the power of a blu-ray. [/]

    Even when installed to the hard drive you need to swap the required discs in.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    With Bioware RPG's(and most others tbh) it's a sandbox in the middle, but two tightly linear areas at the beginning and end. Before becoming a spectre and after getting to the prothean world being the two in ME1. Makes sense I guess, but I'll be getting in on PC so no matter

    Re: News - Strange goings-on in Xbox 360 version of Mass Effect 2

    Well now i bet MS wished they HELPED Toshiba by putting a HD-DVD drive into the 360.... That way we would have 50gb storage at a smaller cost than bluray equivilant and it would be faster,too.

    Glad im getting this for PC, PC wont need disk swapping for some unknown reason would it? (EA might want to piss us off u know..).

    Re: News - Strange goings-on in Xbox 360 version of Mass Effect 2

    but gamers will need to swap them not once, but twice
    ahhh the nostalgia, takes me back to the late 1980s of disk swapping such greats as Defender of the crown on my old Amiga

    Been going on for years to Plenty PS1 and GameCube games were over 2 cd's at the time. But it does take me right back to swapping disks left right and centre to play the likes of the early x-com games etc

    oooo just imagine porn on that... from russia with love!!(for any1 that has seen the giant screen in russia that was hacked and had a rude film played)

    As for mass effect 2, really enjoying it apart from the camera can be very close which can hinder in battle.
