Obviously trailers are used for promoting a movie or game before its release date to build up hype, but they're also used when said medium has already been released for those who haven't yet 'fallen victim' to the hype.

In this case, personally, I think it inevitably comes down to cost, however marginal it may be. One reason for not releasing the trailer yesterday could be the cost of airtime, however little that may be. Since this is not a new game/movie release, and only a rather low-price DLC (560MS/BioWare points, ~7$), the increase in cost for an extra week of airtime for a trailer might just not be worth it for EA/BioWare. On top of that, 560 points is in that impulse purchase zone, so releasing the trailer on the same day as the DLC could generate some extra sales in that manner.

Of course, all this is speculation, and I agree that it's too bad that there is no trailer yet but I'm just trying to find a reasonable explaination for those of you angry at BioWare.

All the gametrailers I've posted to my facebook have been pre-release ones. I even posted a screen from Arrival last week which got a friend interested who's not played or looked into the game for a long time, so he was oblivious to the DLC. I'll be DLing Arrival soon as, and playing it straight away - I know there won't be the excitement or anticipation to post the trailer afterwards.

I'm still excited to play the DLC, but have nothing to express that excitement with. Anyway - marketing knows best!

Sadly parts of the community (not all as there are reasonable, respectable people surprisingly enough) have a large chip on their shoulder. For what it's worth I can say in all respects you folks do an amazing job ( I am an accountant and currently pursing a master's degree in upper level management) despite what the naysayers drone on about.

And you were expecting anything different from here?

Not really as my father once told me: "You can out logic a Nasi all you want, they'll still be convinced they're right."

Damn it...

Can we at least be told (screen shots are nice!) if the VS is in the DLC? I was expecting a glimpse at that during the trailer. It was also going to influence my next playthrough (I am sure that I am not the only one)

You aint the only one my dude. I started a playthrough that was meant to be my loyal to Ashley Shep but i made it to Garrus mission and stoped playing. Since than my ME 2 been collecting big lobs of dust. I was hoping Chris, David, or one of these devs confirm whether Ash was in this to have motivsation to finish that play through but nothing, notta. I expect Arrival to be Wicth Hunt part 2 so ill be saving muy money and my ME 2 will collect more epic dust bites.

Except for the fact that there was a trailer, one day prior to release.
