Guess what, you know that Bring Down the Sky pay for add on for Mass Effect on 360, we get it for free to download on the games launch day.

First Downloadable Content Free with Mass Effect PC EDMONTON, Alberta—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Leading video game developer BioWare™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS), has announced that "Bring Down the Sky," the first piece of downloadable content for the award-winning space epic Mass Effect™, will be available for PC gamers to download free1 of charge when Mass Effect for the PC releases on May 28, 2008 in North America and June 6, 2008 in Europe.

Fully optimized for the PC, "Bring Down the Sky" is the first in a series of planned downloadable content that will further expand the Mass Effect story and universe. It includes a new uncharted world that introduces the deadly Batarian alien race, approximately 90 minutes of new gameplay and an original soundtrack.

Batarian extremists have hijacked a mobile asteroid station in the Asgard system, setting it on a collision course with the nearby colony world of Terra Nova. Only Commander Shepard can save the millions of innocent civilians before the asteroid completes its deadly descent.

Originally released for the Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system, "Bring Down the Sky" has received critical acclaim as one of the "must have" downloadable expansion packs. Mass Effect has also received critical acclaim throughout the world with more than 80 awards including Console Game of the Year and Role-Playing Game of the Year.

The "Bring Down the Sky" downloadable content for PC will be available at the launch of Mass Effect for the PC, and will be free of charge to registered BioWare community members.

Finished it on 360 around a week ago. The main plot is solid but don't bother with those planetary assignments since they have exactly the same couple of different building sets used over and over again and the planets' surfaces are really just random generated crap. I would've enjoyed the game even more if I hadn't completed all the assignments since I kept thinking "maybe this assignments is a bit different, oh wait, it isn't". :p

Yeah I was a bit disappointed by the terragen cookie cutter planets that were there to "explore". The main game more than makes up for it though.

They have even changed the interface to work better with a mouse and keyboard:

I'm pleased to hear this. KotOR was also known for having had time and effort put into the PC port to actually make it more of a proper PC game, rather than just a blatant console port. Seems that Bioware are continuing the trend. That earns them a lot of extra cred in my book.

It seems I am no longer pleased, or going to be buying Mass Effect for the PC.

And I quote
the game will automatically authenticate your CD key with your PC every time you run the program, and will actually run this check on its own every five days as long as your computer is connected to the internet. If the game can

This is why I like steam, sadly EA doesn't use steam even though they have parterned with Valve for game releases.
