What is "complete"?
...
Some people believe that the developers cut out parts of the game to sell later. If that was true(and I'm sure for some games it was), it would be a dirty way to make money.

Others believe as I do, that these extra items are just that. Extra. Adding to the total package.

I suppose that is the long and the short of the argument.  I believe that DLC that comes along a month or more after release is extra and the stuff that is being advertised now, 2 months prior to release, is 'cut' content. I have a hard time believing that specifically items like armor, weapons and alternate outfits are not completed and can't be shipped with the release of the game.  In a world without 'day one DLC' I think these items would still have been made anyway but included in the game for all buyers.

But you have a point, no one really has an idea what is 'cut' and what is 'extra'.  Just like you, I paid my extra $20 for the added content but I still don't feel like I will get the complete game because I see the BestBuy/Gamestop/Origin/etc. exclusives as pieces of the original product made available to a portion of the consumer.

I think the art book is worth the extra money, I know others like the picture or the soundtrack but all in all I don't look at the DLC quest/character or in game items as being a bonus. I view that as original game content that others shouldn't have to pay for on top of buying whatever version of the game they picked up. This isn't content being made after the game is released it's before and to me that means it is part of the entire project now.

Personally, I prefer more in-game items in my CE's than physical items.

If I'm buying the Collector's Edition, I want my game to be improved and added upon with collector's items in-game. I'm buying the game for the game, after all.

Extra stuff like cloth maps and light up Normandy's are cool, but its not like I have a real use for them.

Maybe, but for me, EXTRA used to mean something like a new campaign, bumping the level cap, y'know, shiney stuff.

We're talking about a single companion character and some equipment.
Ready to go on day 1.
To borrow a term: Disc Locked Content.

Of course, optimists like yourself seem to have dictated that the current DLC culture is acceptable, which is why Bioware was selling "appearance packs" for ME2.

There are plenty of things that can be EXTRA, without holding hostage all the work it takes to integrate a fully voiced character into the game world.

Currently, we have no plans to make the CE material downloadable unless you purchase the CE. This could change in the future, but we have no plans to do so currently.

My two cents.

I've bought or pre-ordered the CE of all three Mass Effects.

But; I think people who don't get their hands on the CE should be able to get the in game items if they're willing to pay for them.  Especially since the CE will sell out and not everyone who wants it may be able to get a copy.

This goes for both the ME2 and ME3 CE content and especially for the Pre-Order incentive DLC since you can't even get all the Pre-Order DLC without buying two copies of the game.

Honestly the CE is still a good deal even if the in game content that comes with it isn't exclusive.

This.  They did all that for the PS3 version of ME2 yet 360 and PC players get shafted.  That black hole gun looked AWESOME.  At least give me the option of acquiring it through legit means.

Very good, now lets hope they do the same with the pre-order DLC.  

Not having that shotgun is going to wear at me just like not having the Incisor wore on me.  Granted when I finally got it, it turned out to be a complete POS; but at least my curiosity was sated.

Great I didn't want to spend £70 versus £40 when the only real appeal for me was the mission and character.
