BioWare had big things planned for the Xbox 360; a promise they were able to keep with their newly released title Mass Effect. While other "big hit" games had too many problems holding them back, Mass Effects anticipation was well returned with good rankings and even earning it "RPG of the Year" on Spike TV's Video Game Award Show.

Now Mass Effect has something new to celebrate in reaching the one million mark of copies sold around the world in just three weeks of the game's release.

Industry watchers were astounded at the games success. Some thought it would have only sold in the several hundred of thousands and with these numbers, Microsoft will more than likely be making deals with EA which bought out BioWare recently to keep Mass Effect, the first along with the rest of the planned Sci-Fi RPG trilogy series an Xbox exclusive.

I'm going to wait til the price goes down as well, also I have so many games now to play. But just, wow - I'm glad the company got this much return on it so far, it deserves it

Still a blody good game that is fun to mess about with even after completing it.:) If you want proof that iv done it on hard check my gamer card in about 3 days time cause it got hacked and microsoft are fixing it atm so all my recent achievments dont show.
