Probably because launch U.S. PS3's came with Talledega Nights on Blu-ray with the system. That was the last funny Will Ferrell movie in my opinion.

Strange. The game autosaved me *spoilers* in the hall of the castle just before the main character steps though the doors before the text endings.

I just hope it's not limited to your progress in the game, as in you can't do the quest after a certain point like in Mass Effect.

Way to get me to keep spending my money while my interest is high you horrible, awesome game designers.

Personally, I think DLC in RPG games is horrible. New content should be treated as an expansion with a new story line and etc. Otherwise you run the risk of DLC "breaking" the orginal game and the main story line.
You also run into the problem of how to integrate the DLC into the story. You have to find that balance where the DLC is important enough to matter but not so important that it is required to understand the whole story.
I think Bioware is on to something but using the DLC as a method of exploring the worlds Past and recruiting new characters. But like I already pointed it, it won't add much to the main story.
I would like to see bioware go back to modules and the ability for user made modules.

It makes sense in some places, also including multiplayer, but I think I just found a theoretical mathematical formula stating how much we should pay for games!
MW2 is worth $25! Dragon Age: Origins is $400!
..wait...

On that note, they did pretty well with 'adding' Shale into the main story... although, to be fair, I think it was more of adding her back IN to the main story, given how she was released. There are several pivotal moments in the game where she speaks up, other NPCs respond to her, etc. It'd be great if they did that with other DLCs as well (past references and such), but that'd require a lot of past voice actors to be rounded up again...

I love dlc, but I'm all for choices.

That being typed, I hope they start giving more for trade-ins and that the obnoxious 'pre-order bonus' trend dies a painful death in a dark ditch. I know it's just wishful bitching, since pre-orders are likely helping retailers stay afloat, but I don't like being punished for being a prudent shopper. #taketwo
