You have no evidence that Sony is responsible for this, and you're conveniently forgetting all the times Microsoft has done this ($150m for GTA DLC anyone?) and acting like Sony is the only one who does it. That's just fanboy nonsense.

You're also ignoring the considerably more likely possibility that it's just BioWare/EA taking some of the DLC, packing it in, just so they can say "bonus content", thus putting another tick on the box to attract PS3 customers.

Also note that it will likely be a full priced game, which If I understand correctly will be $20US more than what ME2 is currently RRPing at in the US. Seems only fair that if they have to pay full price they should get something extra. Don't try and pull any "We paid $60 for it though" crap though, that's the price of getting it early and is nothing new, welcome to capitalism.

I also think there's some sort of 'statute of limitations' on DLC, so that any editions of a game released after the DLC should include at least some of it for free. It's kind of annoying being the ones who bought it, but we did get it early, and I don't think it's that unfair. If we didn't like paying for DLC, we wouldn't have done it.

It's price drops all over again. You've got no right to complain, if you weren't OK paying the price for something, or paying for it at all, then you shouldn't have done it. So long as the time between release and the price drop is generous enough (see iPhone price drop in '07 for how not to do this) it's perfectly fair. In this case it's a year, 7 months if Kasumi is the most recent big thing included, which is perfectly reasonable.
