What does the expansion mean to DLC?

I was looking at the site today and imagine my suprise when I saw that the expansion can already be pre-ordered. We have not yet had a release of DLC post game release and an expansion can be re-ordered?

Myself and others bout Bioware-Points in an effort to support Dragon Age and buy DLCs as they release. In other words you already have my money and yet nothing for it. My question is we will continue to see DLC post expansion?

Also I am a bit concerned about the price of the expansion. The Dragon Age game which needed a lot more time and cost to produce was sold for on release $49.95.  The expansion is listing at $39.95 or  only $9 less, 20% than the original game. Now I do not expect the expansion to have the same amount of content as the original, it is after all an expansion. However I would hope that at only 20% less cost we would see nothing below 50% less content. I mean you are really close to the same price so if asking for half the content really that bad?

Yet the number bantered around is 15 hours, or in other words less that 30% of the content in the original game. By some standards it is close to 20%.

So my questions before you are ....

1) Will I see the DLC content I in essence pre-paid for or will I have an option to demand a refund for my Bioware Points?

2) Will this expansion offer more than 15 hours of play time or will we see a price reduction?

I can tell you know that I fear this is EA controlling the whole thing and doing their little bait and switch they are so famous for when it comes to computer gaming. I personally will no longer be buying Bioware Points at least until I know I will actually get something for my money.

As for the expansion if the 15 hours is true then I will quietly put Dragon Age aside and wait for the bargain bins to get the expansion for $20.

Just one point, there is definitely DLC that will be released after Awakening. We're like Santa's elves busily crafting away. Or maybe more like the Nightmare Before Christmas critters, that would be way more cool. Every fourth box whill have a severed head. :)
