Mass Effect Trilogy Launching November 9, DLC Detailed

The Mass Effect Trilogy, the compilation package that contains Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 (and a slew of DLC), has received some regional and platform-specific release dates. The collection will launch for Xbox 360 and PC on November 6 in North America, and will launch on PlayStation 3 on December 4. European launch dates are staggered by three days, with Xbox 360/PC versions launching on November 9 and the PS3 version launching on December 7.

Also, if you’re a PS3 owner simply after a copy of the original Mass Effect, a digital download of the game will be available for $14.99 on the PSN on the same day the trilogy collection comes out. That’s nice of them!

The collection also comes with some of the previously released DLC, but it varies by platform. We brought it to your attention early last month, but heck, I’m feeling pretty peppy today so I’ll break it down once more for your convenience.

If you see DLC that’s not listed, it means it’s not in the package. We tried to format the post to show what’s specifically not included in each, but it just got far too messy.

Yes, it’s as complicated as it freaking looks. Yell at Bioware/EA, not us – we’re trying to understand this ourselves.
