From 1/23/12 - 2/20/12, when you pre-order a copy of The Art of Mass Effect Universe, you will receive a code to download extra game content for Mass Effect 3 on either PC or Xbox 360. This will include the collector's rifle, among other cool content to beat out your opponents.

"Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?"
"I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!"

Eh, it's just a rifle. The problem with the figurines is that we don't KNOW how important the stuff will be. Characters have been mentioned.

The bigger thing here is how this is all just for PC and 360. I though EA had mostly been in bed with Sony for the last few years?

I don't understand the complaining. It's a rifle, not actual content.

People aren't actually upset about this too, are they?

Because if this upsets you, you might be dumb.

I don't care. I'll only start caring when publishers start exclusively tying in DLC that I want to other products. Like, if the only way I could download Lair of the Shadow Broker was by purchasing an art book or figurine, I woulda been upset. Doubt we'll see things like that happen, though.

Watch and you'll see... SuperNiceDog own me... in the Guru!

Is there something about how PS3 handles DLC that prevents it from being included in this?

Damn. I might've gone ahead and gotten the book if this clause weren't in there.

Nope. It's just that Microsoft paid EA for either exclusive or timed-exclusive DLC. It happens all the time.
