Cerberus Network is a service you either buy for 1200 MS/Bioware Points or 15$ in PSN or get for free if you buy the game new. After activating it you are entitled to some DLC (for free) which you cannot get any other way. Mostly it is weapons or Armor but also 5 side missions with a vehicle as well as a new squadmate Zaeed.

I just played the Kasumi mission for the first time.

On a related yet unrelated note -
Holy Poopants at the price of the ME1 Collectors Edition going on eBay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MASS-EFFECT-L...1012?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item25607ddc04
It seems as though a lot of ME merchandise holds its value well, definitely worth holding onto!

Where is the interactive comic for the ps3 version?

I'm really glad that I'd pretty much missed the hype train entirely on this game - I found out about it, got psyched, and bought it in the space of three days. Awesome.
My chick's neck is too thick though; wish I'd taken a little longer designing her.
Also, I kind of regret choosing Adept - I die too quickly if I just lunge into a firefight. Can any veteran tell me if I get the chance to learn new weapons at some point in the game? Or am I doomed to never use an assault or sniper rifle?

more specific
They key thing about adepts is biotic combos - only adepts can do their OWN biotic combos. Use singularity or pull to lift an enemy, then cast Warp on the lifted enemy for a warp explosion and massive damage. You can max warp and have a 7 meter radius explosion!
adepts get more powerful over time, research upgrades give you damage boosts as well as levelling the character
also if you want to get into fights, the sentinel is a hell of a lot more survivable but with less biotic powers than adept. tech armor is amazing. or try the vanguard, very fun class but has a learning curve. Heavy charge is awesome

yes you can

a bit before half way into the game you can pick one weapon class

You can pick Shotguns, AR's, or Snipers about half-way through the game.
And playing as an Adept is all about having teammates that can strip defenses from the enemies so that you can manipulate them and toss them around.
Check out the Mass Effect 2 Wiki page for tips on playing as an Adept.

You too? I snagged this and LBP2 and got DC Universe for free at Bestbuy.
Vanguard is pretty fun, especially with the slow charge. I usually run two people with Overload/Warp so that I can lift from far away, or if they're closer, bum rush them with charge. Hard to get used to the playstyle though, blindly charging has led to many deaths. And wow, on the 2nd highest difficulty, everything has so much extra shields/armor/barrier. Even husks get armor. >_>

Anyone download it on PSN? Friend of mine wants to know if all the DLC missions (Kasumi, Shadow Broker, etc) are included or do they need to be downloaded from the Cerberus Network?

CN download is about 680 MB... I don't know if that would be all the DLC or what. Seems kinda small for all that DLC.
Edit: The fucking game is still installing so I can't really answer your question... I just realized what you were actually asking.

I bought ME2 on PSN... I prefer all my games to be DD versions. So when I went to Best Buy... I ended up getting that little keyboard attachment instead of two more games.
Pretty dumb move I suspect, but their game selection was limited and I wasn't feeling LBP2 atm.
Dude, as adept you're not supposed to shoot much anything except to finish off the last 1%. That's what your squad mates are for, especially Thane and Miranda.notjackbauer said:

Hmm... isn't the interactive comic thing supposed to start at the beginning of a new game?
The game already made reference
... which confuses me because I thought I was going to get to make a choice about that. People who played ME1 will know what I mean.
Also... there's a bunch of DLC on PSN that doesn't come with the game (cosmetic stuff) I find that pretty annoying considering I just paid $60 for a digital copy. They really could have thrown that stuff in there the greedy fuckers. They didn't have to print and ship my disc.
I'm actually pretty fucking annoyed about it. Normally what's $7 but today I went on a gaming spending spree and more $ is not what I wanted to see. Optional content, sure it is... but they should have included it. At least for the DD copies.

Oh... haha... I was always a good guy and saved everything I happened across, so I actually never knew the repercussions of the renegade decision on that matter... just assumed it'd be gone had I not intervened.
To hear any reference it was still there... I was just surprised.
Found the comic, btw... was worried about that for a min too.

Here's what's going on -
In the PS3 demo -
The intro with miranda and the illusive man, they make reference to the council dying..
In the final game -
They make reference to the council in the context that they were left alive. You DO get to make that choice in the comic, though.. so the game should continue as though you made the selected choices from ME 1.. it's just the intro scene that is set that one way. If you replaced the council with humans in ME 1 by not saving the original council, the game will reflect that after the intro sequence

Ok, I see. That's a little unfortunate but most people fresh to the series probably wouldn't even realize the significance.
I downloaded and finished the Shadow Broker DLC for the PC, and I was hoping for some
. Disappointed that nothing came about from that. Also, I was able to
catty, jealous dialogue/banter between Miranda (who I banged and brought along for the entirety of the mission) and Liara, who I banged in ME1
bang Liara after I was done, even after I did the whole romance thing with Miranda. Figured that wasn't possible, since I thought I was locked in with Miranda at that point. Does that mean Liara is back to being my main squeeze, or is it still Miranda?

First bug/freeze on the PS3 version... right after talking to martin sheen I tried to save the game and it froze. Hopefully didn't kill my save file I'd be so pissed to have all those conversations and boring tutorial shit to do again. Plus I made a fucking hot shepard... took my time... she is nice. Slight improvement over what I can recall from my/her ME1 model.
Decided to go soldier... will play through as an adept with generic male shepard later.

Wow. It took almost 3.5 hours to download the Cerberus network. I want to play the comic as part of my game, and now I'll have to wait until after work tomorrow since I spent all damn night waiting for the stupid comic to download.
....better be worth it.

Is there a time frame for the Cerberus Network to go up on ps3? I redeemed my code, and the computer at the main menu still isn't open.

Been getting back into ME2 today, grabbed the Lair of the Shadow Broker and Kasumi DLC on 360, even though I have the game on both, but hey my 360 playthrough is the one where I romanced Liara... and I do always consider it my main, but the cool thing was I noticed on the Bioware social site that it said that the DLC was for both PC and 360, long story short I called EA customer service and they activated the DLC for me on PC as well, which was pretty sweet. Played through both the Kasumi stuff and LOTSB today great stuff, though if what I have heard is true and you can transfer saves from 360 to PC then it will be PC only for ME3. The game just looks SO much better on PC especially when I force AA, have 8x AF and it still runs better at 1080p. Game looks amazing, and plays better. I know some people need gamepad support, but outside of a few niggles, I prefer mouse and keyboard. Having hotkey access to all of my powers is just too good.
PS EA Customer service is damned competent and friendly, not only did they give me overlord for free, they also tossed in Witch Hunt on PC when overlord wasn't working right for me on 360. Top class.

Well, this was supposed to be a PM, but I failed and I don't know how to remove a message in the forum, so I keep this here x_x
Hi! I'd like to buy the game from the Store, because it is not available yet in my country (Spain) and I want to play it asap.
Could you check if the Store version includes subtitles in Spanish? I guess you'll have to change the language of the PS3 system and then, if available, it will show Spanish subtitles.
Thank you!

Interesting.. I downloaded the Cerberus stuff after importing my save and starting a game. I'm at the Citadel talking to Anderson now - do I need to restart to get my stuff or what?
