Well shucks - Mass effect

Does anyone know where I can pick up at least the first one mega cheap?

Really fancy playing through them, but can't be bothered to set up my 360 as I have them on that.

Steam code would be awesome!

Looks like it's going to cost you a tenner for a digital copy.

Wait for a steam sale.

Are you going to be playing through all 3? I bought ME2 and enjoyed it, then decided to go get 1 and 3 and have thoroughly enjoyed playing through all 3 of them in order. Importing saves makes for a more enjoyable experience IMO.

Does the PC version support the controller?

First one was on offer on Origin about a week ago, I got it for about £3, that's over now but I'm sure it will be on sale somewhere again for a similar price at some point.

That's a good question, I assumed it did. Or do people recommend kb & mouse?

Why yes people do, this is a PC forum! Get those horrible gamepads out of here.

I can't imagine using a controller for the ME games in all honesty. When you're getting swarmed by huskes you need to be able to turn/look around quickly and nothing's better for that than a mouse.

Gamepads are great for some games, Mass Effect isn't one of them!

Yeah wait for steam or origin sale.

Make sure you get Bring down the Sky too - an excellent DLC.
Pinnacle Station however is completely unnecessary.

It was an xbox 360 exclusive for around 6 months.

I think you have to contact support for Bring down the sky DLC now for the free key. The methods on bioware website no longer work, or at least did not for me.
