thelovebat: This is crap. Go die in a fire Bioware and EA so I can piss on the ashes.
wodmarach: Yes it is since it's not.
ONCE AGAIN FOR THOSE THAT CAN'T READ THE ONLY THING ON DISC IS A BADLY CLIPPING CHARACTER MODEL AND HIS IN MISSION BANTER
got that now? You don't get his mission (any vid showing his mission is a fake btw since I tested it myself by reinstalling ME3 without from ashes and went through the discs files)
With the DLC you get his mission, views of a world you won't see otherwise, a very nice AR, some extra scenes on citadel and some other nice features that AREN'T ESSENTIAL TO THE GAME.
::edit:: this is basicly like adding the beta version of kasumi back into ME2 (which you could do) you get her but not what actually made the DLC any good...
Sorry but you're wrong.
