Well, there are DLC sales from time to time, aren't there?

On PC, they're incredibely rare, happened only about twice since the introduction of BW points 3 years ago. Plus, sales are beside the point. All products lose base value over time (and then still go on sales with that decreased value, that's how we have ME2 available for $5 sometimes)

Unless, of course, it's not stupid. EA knows how many copies of the DLCs they're selling at full price, and how many new copies of the games they're selling. Perhaps there aren't very many price-sensitive people out there, and they're moving DLCs at full price even now? If so, it'd be silly to bundle the DLCs with the trilogy at any serious price break. You'd just be throwing revenue away from the people who were going to buy the DLCs at full price.

Most likely the reason, customers are big part of the problem here. If we keep buying 2-years old DLC for full price, publishers think "yep! no reason to decrease it!"

$10 every couple of months is beneath notice for someone with a decent job. It's, what, two beers? Less if you're drinking decent stuff.

Sure, the problem starts when you follow more than 1/2 games though and want to buy DLC for like, say, 5-10 games a year. And 5-10 games a year ain't even that much

so happy about this but I hope this means we won`t need to watch mass effect genesis anymore for mass effect 2

I'm fine with the DLC thing since I have the DLCs I want for the games anyways but... the one thing I really don't get is why the copy of ME3 isn't coming with the EC. Really, all new copies of ME3 should have the EC instead of the original endings.

It would require ton of extra testing and certifications. Not to mention some customers could be confused and download EC anyway.
EC in the form of DLC makes the customers feel like they are getting something extra for free.

It is, to me, interesting to note that the DLC is actually more expensive than the trilogy itself.

It's stupid, publishers act as if they're unaware of millanias-old rules of products losing value over time.

Well, there are DLC sales from time to time, aren't there? But yeah, it seems stupid. They're almost certainly losing some sales from people who would buy a DLC at $2 or $3 but won't pay $10.

I can actually see a legit reason for not throwing in the ME3 DLC in this pack. But as for ME1 and ME2 it would be more benefitical sales wise of the 360 and PC group to throw in all the dlc for them. I am condifent that ME1 for PS3 will already include both those dlcs and ME2 for PS3 will include everything but Arrival so there is really no worries on the PS3 end, we are getting ME1 thats what we PS3 owners have been begging for since ME2 release on PS3.

Dunno for beer, don't drink alcohol. But I don't think it's all about price, it's more about price/quality, IMHO. Hard to compare full game, capable to deliver dozens if not hundreds of hours of interesting and entertaining gameplay (FNV, just 20 bucks now) and short shoddy stubs for mediocre game, unable to bring more than 2-3 hours. Even if you going to savor every moment there.

Well, yeah. Full games are better than anything else in terms of price/performance except maybe cable TV. But once you've bought all the full games you're going to, there are probably still dollars left over. Unless you're really broke.

Never had cable TV, so can't compare. I prefer more sensible addons. Or at least reasonably priced, like... Trials of luremaster.

Otherwise it's like buying three-piece suit and then additionally paying for buttons. Or vest.

Might get this. I had to trade 1 and 2 in for ME3. Plus, it comes out on my birthday.

ME2 on the PS3 is running on the ME3 engine. Will ME1 be doing the same?

All Mass Effect games (ie. 1, 2 and 3) are running on the same engine - UnrealEngine3. Major difference is in textures and models used.

On  very basic level. However they engine was supposedly heavily tweaked or modified or rebuilt for ME3, and they released ME2 on the PS3 with that engine.

So, the question is: what will be the special extra for Femshep, since she won't be on the special cover?
My guess is: all hair options unlocked for Femshep, since lots of femshep players mod the game to have the special default hairdo with their own custom face. I never understood why the cooler cuts weren't included in the customization options anyway, it's as if the developers wanted us to go modding. I think that would've been easier to achieve if they simply included some mod tools though..

....

They REALLY should've added in all the DLC, including the pre-order and promotional stuff that's no longer available. I probably would have bought this if it was truly a complete package, but as it is the fancy case and prestige of having actual discs just is not worth it.

[Emphyr]

It always was Commander Shepard gooing .. But many femshep Shepards still cannot imported correctly from Me1 and 2 into Me 3..Fix that first along with other things and then Give us a bug free goty trilogy version including all DLC on disc,

And please Fix the artistic vision endings also into a more video gamery endings.

If you do that i will buy 10 packages.

Take Care

Its funny that you say that - I've modded dozens of games, and the ME games rank amongst the easiest to mod. I'm a big fan of Bioware's light-touch 'we don't care what you do to enjoy our games' approach.

I was very close to buying an xbox just to play ME1. Now I don't have to. I just hope that I can get ME1 on it's own as I have ME2 and ME3. But this is very good news BW, very good news indeed :-D

Ironically, this was the situation I was in back when ME1 was a 360 exclusive.

It does look like a nice set. Then again, I have the CEs of ME2 and 3, and I doubt the versions that come in the games will be CEs nor will they work with any DLCs I've already purchased for all three games.

Still, very good idea.

[gtx3]

If the DLC were included I would likely buy this twice. I own all 3 games on 360 and some of the DLC. It would be nice to own the 360 trilogy as a collectors item because of the box and artwork and such, but even then its not really a complete trilogy and I would have to buy and download the remaining DLC that I don't own. And owning the whole thing again on PC would be great so I always have a digital version of the trilogy on my laptop for when I'm away from my xbox, but then I would have to buy the DLC again.

Include the DLC EA.

It seems that the new femshep wallpaper is the special extra thing for femshep (according to their response to my tweet....)

Even a broke person can afford $30 a few times a year (if you're broke you won't buy at full price).

The point is while DLC is expensive relative to full games, it is still a relatively cheap form of entertainment.
