I like to judge full games by their demo.

That's why NFS HP is such a shit fucking game.

Something which is rather strange in the sampler code is that the PS3 version appears to have issues streaming the FMV sequences, dropping frames and even tearing. Based on what we're seeing in the demo, these low-quality, macroblocking scenes do not appear to have been improved over the Xbox 360 version (where at least they streamed OK) and we would hope for a better showing in the final Blu-ray based game.

More people getting to play ME2 is always a good thing.
