EA is taking the meaning of overpriced DLC to a new high with Mass Effect 3, as Destructoid writer Chris Carter found out. He attempted to calculate the total amount of money needed to purchase ALL the DLC available for ME3 at launch and came up with the figure of US$870, which is almost S$1,090. Wow. No sane person would splurge this kind of money on a game, I suppose, even if they are hardcore Mass Effect fans.
Take note that many of the ME3 DLCs are packaged with Razer products and you would need to purchase the whole collection of Razer Mass Effect 3 equipment in order to own all those DLCs. The breakdown of purchases you will need to buy all available DLCs is included below. All prices are in USD.
