When BioWare announced the Mass Effect Trilogy, one key detail was missing: would any DLC be included? Given its budget price, many were expecting the compilation to omit any downloadable add-ons, preventing it from being a truly definitive re-release. Apparently, there will be some DLC included in the box, depending on which platform you're playing on.

BioWare's official site (via Joystiq) details the differences between the various editions. The Xbox 360 version of the Trilogy will include Mass Effect 2's Cerberus Network, which unlocks the Normandy Crash Site, various weapons and armors, and DLC character Zaeed. Mass Effect 3's Online Pass is also included in the box. Essentially, everything included from the original retail releases of the three games has been replicated in this collection.

The PC version of the Trilogy will include everything the Xbox 360 version has, but also adds Bring Down the Sky and Pinnacle Station for the original game. (Bring Down the Sky was released as a free download, but the latter is still available for $5.)

Information on PS3 DLC will be "available soon," as that version of the game is coming after the PC and Xbox 360's November 6th release.

      It includes everything, except for the stuff that it doesn't include. For me, the point of the complete trilogy is to have everything in one box.

        Me neither. Why should I buy this if I have to get out of my way to purchase and download more DLC when I got the bloody trilogy box? Meh.

          I'm basically just buying ME1 (PSN). Thankfully that seems to come with all the DLC (I think it only had those 2 anyway).

            it does, and frankly pinnacle station is crap, I bought it for my last playthrough for $5 on PC, the only thing it gives you if you beat it all is the ability once you get a billion credits to buy top of the line gear, and I mean the very best in the game, armor, guns. So that's pretty cool, but the DLC itself kinda sucks iMIO.

      It doesn't include From Ashes for ME3? What is this shit?

        Nor any of the substantial ME2 DLCs.

        I can't believe From Ashes is still a paid DLC though. It came with collector's editions but not the "definitive mass effect experience"?

      I've posted about this before, it's the evil (smart) thing they've been doing for a while. Every time you see Mass Effect 1 or 2 on some amazing 5$ sale people go and buy them and find out the DLC is _NEVER_ discounted _EVER_ on their bullshit bioware bucks website. To get the 'full' Mass Effect 2 is like 40$ on top of the 5$ game,..... I admit ME2 without the DLC is probably a completely competent game but I feel the DLC really added to the game (and since I played the game with all DLC when I got it) I think it belongs there.

      It's sad that a 3 year old game is still 45$ IF you catch it on special, it's very clever, it's very evil and it's very fucked up. I won't support them anymore with this kind of shit.
