This is a pretty interesting tid-bit. If you want to purchase all DLC and marketing items for ME3 it will cost you $870. Here’s the link

Here's a little excerpt: 
"If you add up all of the toys, artbooks, deluxe/pre-order editions, and everything else that nets you Mass Effect 3 in-game content, how much would the full price of entry be? Well, if you buy everything there is to buy (including pre-paying for unlocks), you will spend around the neighborhood of $870. Keep in mind that a lot of this is based on Razor accessories, which power up your "Collector Assault Rifle" to maximum power in multiplayer." - link

Here's their list...(incase you don't feel like opening the link above)

Collector's Edition (needed to obtain all content):

$80 - N7 Collector's Edition

Pre-order bonuses:

AT-12 Raider - Origin pre-order bonus
Chakram Launcher - Play the Kingdoms of Alamur demo
M-55 Argus - Pre-order bonus for select retailers
N7 Weapons pack - N7 Edition bonus
N7 Hoodie - N7 Edition bonus
N7 Warfare Gear - Pre-order bonus for select retailers
Reckoner Knight Armor - Play the Kingdoms of Alamur demo
Robotic Dog - N7 Edition bonus
Squad Outfit pack - N7 Edition bonus

Auxiliary purchases:

Unannounced price for the iOS game Mass Effect Infiltrator, which can affect the main game.

$10 day one "From Dust" DLC

$44.99 for the Liara figurine - which oddly enough now comes with unconfirmed DLC

$24.99 for The Art of Mass Effect Universe - Collector Assault Rifle DLC/Powerup

$80 for four Mass Effect 3 toys - "Slightly randomized" multiplayer unlock DLC

$59.99 for the Mass Effect 3 controller - Collector Assault Rifle unlock DLC/Powerup

$209.99 for the Chimera 5.1 Headset - Collector Assault Rifle unlock DLC/Powerup

$34.99 for the Mousepad - Collector Assault Rifle unlock DLC/Powerup

$24.99 for the iPhone case - Collector Assault Rifle unlock DLC/Powerup

$79.99 for the Mouse - Collector Assault Rifle unlock DLC/Powerup

$139.99 for the Keyboard - Collector Assault Rifle unlock DLC/Powerup



*edit: there, less $$, happy? Still relevant.

Wow, give EA credit, they know how to squeeze money out of people. I bet there's at least one rabid fan out there that actually bought everything.

[Taradil]

At least, don't blame Bioware, it's EA's fault.

[Alex_SM]

Bioware and EA nowadays are mostly the same.

[Nu-Nu]

Blame people who view themselves as "completionist" and will buy as much as they can, I don't care if I get every single irrelevant item or not. The game is the main thing, some dlc is a nice bonus, but I won't pay for everything especially if it doesn't add to the story. If only people stop caring about collecting everything than there be no reason for EA to tempt people to buy other stuff.

[Fragsmater]

I only want Valkyrie and m55 argus.

[AlanC9]

I'm with Nu-Nu. Anyone who cares that much about this stuff deserves to be separated from his $870.

The article says you need all that for all the in game DLC, but there are quite a few repeated DLCS. You get from dust with the CE edition and alost everything else on the list comes with the collector assault rifle. So, actually, if you go with the cheapest options its: 229.98 plus tax and shipping.

That's assuming the $80 on the toys which jst seem to contain the same randomized "packs" you buy for credits in MP anyway...so really it's around $140.

If you want to include ME merch for the sake of having it, then you'd have to include everything from the online store too, and all the XBL avatar items etc.

After playing the demo, I suspect that these 'DLC' things attached to other items are in fact just 'Packs' of Items/Equipment/Upgrades for Multiplayer, like the Recruit and Veteran packs, without the need to spend credits. Therefore they're just a random bunch of upgrades, most of them single-use.

Evidently some of them guarantee particular weapons. Whether or not those weapons can also be picked up randomly is the real question.

All these DLC ideas wouldn't have been day one DLC had this been made by BioWare three or four years ago. It would have been ideas that became game content on the disk, or if it wasn't good enough, it would be thrown aside. Now it is getting all muddled together between "This is good bonus content, buy it, play it," and "If you don't want it, don't play it. The disk content is complete, so you are the problem." BioWare is heavily cozied up with EA's nickel and dime attitude.

[schnydz]

I remember the days of buying a game and that was it. Who was it CoD that started this? Trying to remember....

[AlexXIV]

Everything that is not story DLC is not interesting. If someone needs to spend money at all cost, let them. We will benefit from it because EA/Bioware can put it into future games.

870 TRIPLE DOLLARS!
That's like... *counts on fingers* almost a million dollars!

[Hyrist]

Thanks for giving me a list of things for me to pick out and buy.

Have the collector's edition. Might buy the controller and/or art book. That will cover the DLC I want that I don't already get.

Ten of items this doofus lists have identical DLC attached to them. His cost breakdown therefore makes no sense.

I heard earlier that the Collector's Rifle stacks. Meaning it gets stronger the more you have.

Well, four years ago none of the multiplayer content would have existed.

And you can unlock those same upgrades by earning in-game currency. None of it is exclusive content.

I just can't believe there's people complaining because of this.
I lol'd at: "I remember the days of buying a game and that was it. Who was it CoD or MoH that started this? Trying to remember...."
Sincerely i can't remember those magical days when buying a game also got you an iPhone case and a 5.1 Headset.

[Ryzaki]

Huh...good thing for the most part IDGAF about DLC.

Not complaining. Just sharing. Besides, my question above was legit. Just trying to remember when it started, that's all.
