Mass Effect 2 PS3 gets free Early Bird Bonus

Bioware has announced that gamers who purchase the Playstation 3 version of Mass Effect 2 before February 23rd will get a free bonus of a weapon and armor that was previously available to Xbox 360 and PC players with the special edition of the game, Bioware have confirmed through their Facebook Page.

Gamers who pick the game up before February 23rd will get their hands on the cool-looking Terminus Armor for Shepard to wear as well as the M-490 Blackstorm Projector Weapon, which is a powerful heavy weapon that will help in taking down the Collectors.

Mass Effect 2 for PS3 launches on January 18th in the USA and January 21st in Europe. That gives gamers around a month to pick it up before they lose out on the free weapon. People who pick it up later will be able to buy the weapon and armor as DLC through the Playstation Store.
