<a href="http://pc.gamezone.com/gzreviews/r27907.htm">GameZone have gone done one o' dem previews of Mass Effect</a>. They say:
<br>
<blockquote>Another nice element in the PC version is that owners will be able to download the “Bring Down the Sky” content for free. While Xbox 360 owners have to pay for the added content, it will be complimentary to PC gamers once it releases. Unfortunately, it is not available yet as of this review, and therefore could not be factored into the rating.</blockquote>
<br>
Console owners: Milk them like cows. Oh and they score it the usual 17 cucumbers.
<br>
<br>
According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_Effect">the font of all pokemon knowledge</a>:
<br>
<blockquote>"Bring Down the Sky" includes a new uncharted world that introduces the notorious and feared Batarians, a humanoid species with four eyes. A Batarian extremist group has hijacked a mobile asteroid station in the Asgard system, setting it on a collision course with the nearby colony world of Terra Nova. Only Commander Shepard can save the millions of innocent civilians before the asteroid completes its deadly descent. This mission is concurrent with the main storyline. BioWare has stated that the adventure should take 90 minutes to complete. The expansion also features an additional achievement awarded upon completion of the mission.</blockquote>

Awesome. An extra achievement to show you much collar grabbing you've done I hope.

The game price is biggest difference. One xbox360 owner I know bought used mass effect for 59€. I bought a brand new PC one (during release) for 37€. I also bought the prequel book for 7€.

In the end I got both the game and book for 44€ and thats still 15€ less than what the xbox360 owner paid just for the game alone.

You get the console cheap but you will pay for the games.

I heard this module was pretty shit, mostly consisting of shooting stuff. Probably Bioware thought it wouldn't be as profitable and instead gave their fans a bone.
