This is a new development for anyone looking forward to Mass Effect 3, especially people who do not plan on buying any of the collector's editions. They are including an exclusive piece of DLC for the collector's edition that include an exclusive character with an exclusive bit of story that goes along with it. There are two main reasons I'm mad about this:

1. This is content that they developed along side the rest of the game before the release date. By all means this should be included with the main game itself, as it was developed as apart of the game. Then at some point they decided to cut it out of the game and make you pay an additional amount for it with the goal of monetizing the hell out of it.

2. This one is kind of spoilery, so be warned.


To me this is kind of insulting, and is going too far when it comes to pre-order/collector's edition bonus content. If this were just an alternate skin for a character, or if it were developed after the game came out, I would completely understand charging an additional amount for the content. But no, this was content developed and finished along side the game itself, and should be included with it.

Well, I'm going to step off my soap box, here's a video that explains things a bit better than I can, and sounds like it could be the beginning of a boycott to prevent this. I'm glad I haven't pre-ordered the game yet, or else I would be pissed.

Did anyone pick up the new PS Vita? It looks amazing, but the price for memory card/sticks are outrageous.
