So Mass Effect is being released on the PC ...

... and doesn't the list of features sound like bits they probably chopped out of the 360 version because the couldn't finish it in time for release?

* Fully customizable controls - PC gamers can re-map the control scheme any way they like.
* Run & Gun Control - Players can assign biotic powers or skills to 'hot keys' allowing them to play Mass Effect with a heavier focus on action.
* New decryption mini-game.
* New inventory screen GUI and functionality - The enhanced inventory system makes it easier for players to equip and modify their weapons and armor.

I wonder if these bits get released as an update on Live.

I'll be honest and say that if my PC could handle it, I would buy the PC version. I feel a little dirty for saying that.

The decryption mini-game and inventory parts are the bits that smack me as being the bits they rushed.

I think the Inventory on it is great already?

Madness I tells ye!

It was clunky, hard to manage and slow to use.

Don't get me wrong, on the whole Mass Effect is still an awesome game.

No up until a few hours before the announcement Bioware even gave an interview saying it was 360 exclusive and there were no plans to release it on PC.

A lot of the time ports are done by another company and often they turn out worse in some respect to the original. Impossible to judge though until the PC release is, er, released.
