Remember that downloadable content pack we told you about for Mass Effect? Well, you’re going to need to be a couple hours into the game to use it. You’ll need your Normandy Spaceship to get to the new content in the game.

Here’s the problem with that: the spaceship isn’t available until about 2-3 hours into the game, and it’s also not available for the last hour or so of the game either (the Mass Effect galaxy gets closed off to the player after you complete the main story arc). So you’re going to need a gamesave somewhere in the middle to get able to quickly access the new content.

If you’ve beaten the game already, or if you haven’t gotten that far, I’d suggest putting in some time before the content pack is released later this week. That way you’ll be able to hop in and play as soon as your download is finished.
