As most of you know, yesterday there was a leak that revealed the upcoming DLC “ME3:From Ashes” on the
Xbox LIVE Marketplace. This leak took place before we were prepared to make an announcement about the details of that pack (slated for this Friday).
There has been a lot of discussion about the DLC offering but we wanted to clarify a few things...
- “From Ashes” includes the Prothean squad mate, an adventure on Eden Prime, a new weapon, and an alternate
appearance for every squad mate. Note that these alternate appearances are in addition to the ones already advertised in the CE.
- The Collectors Edition has been advertised from the beginning as containing a bonus character/mission, but we were not at liberty to provide the details. The Prothean is optional content that is certainly designed to appeal to long-time fans, which is why he is part of the CE offering (the version many fans would be likely to purchase). Mass Effect 3 is a complete – and a huge game - right out of the box.
- The content in “From Ashes” was developed by a separate team (after the core game was finished) and not completed until well after the main game went into certification.
- The Collectors Edition has been sold out in most places for some time now, and is becoming very hard to find (many players prefer not to purchase the digital version). As such, we wanted to make this content available so that SE buyers could also incorporate the Prothean into their game.
We’ll be releasing someimages and video about this pack in the coming days.
As always, we are extremely thankful for all of your support. We pulled out all of the stops to make Mass Effect 3 the best game ever, and we can't wait for you all to experience it.

sentence highlighted in bold clearly implies milking.
like i said, if this was a dlc for alternate costumes, weapons, etc, nobody will make a big fuss.
anyone who says protheans arent important in the ME universe must not have been paying attention while playing the first 2 games. it's like saying female krogans are meh.

Being a Prothean doesn't automatically makes it integral to the story, they are an extinct race and appearing after 50,000 years, I doubt they can be of much use. I'll reserve my judgement till after I play the game, no use jumping to conclusion.
you do know that the mass relay technology came from the protheans right?

Is a business model. Every other game company is doing this way, why not we ride the bandwagon as well?
I am not surprise if EA is doing this, as well as selling extra character as dlc......just like square enix huh, nwk?
offer dlc for weapons, costumes, nobody says you cant do that. did anybody make a big fuss when they released weapon packs for ME2?
