Original Story: Shepard and co. may be trading high fives and somewhat suggestive ass-slaps with Master Chief in the locker room right now, but a few lines of Mass Effect 2's source code point to a potential PS3 version of the spacefaring sequel.
Update: BioWare's yanked PS3 players hopes back down to earth, saying that "the Unreal Engine is cross platform, hence the PS3 code. This was brought up back in Mass Effect 1 days as well." Thanks, Soong.
