It looks like the PC version of Mass Effect 2 may have dropped a major console exclusivity bombshell this morning. The PC version of Bioware’s GOTY candidate contains a number of lines of code referring to the Playstation 3. Here’s what appears:

m_nMaxRenegade=1900
m_nMaxParagon=1957
m_srXPFormat=340881
m_srSpendTalentPointsMessageXBox?=348754
m_srParagonRenegadeMessageXBox=3?48755
m_srSpendTalentPointsMessagePC=3?48753
m_srParagonRenegadeMessagePC=348?755
m_srSpendTalentPointsMessagePS3=?348755
m_srParagonRenegadeMessagePS3=15?3007

As you can see from the last six lines of code, the Xbox and PC versions are referenced as is the much rumoured ‘PS3’ version. Is this undeniable truth that Bioware’s masterpiece is PS3 bound? Were still not convinced. However, a PS3 version looks more ominous than ever before.
