It's very rare for me to buy DLC. Even in games that I've logged a ton of hours I am very hesitant to buy DLC. Mostly because I feel that they're over priced and they rarely see drops in price (except on Steam). $15 for 4 maps is what I consider a rip off. Especially when 2 of them are just remakes.
With that said, I've bought pretty much all of the Mass Effect DLC over the years (except for those skins in 2) because to me, they've been worth it. I've probably put well over 200 hours into these games so it's been something to freshen my playthroughs. I've also bought a couple MS point cards when they were half off at Superstore in anticipation of all the DLC for ME3 so in a way I am not paying full price for any I buy.
As for day 1 dlc, I can't say I am surprised anymore nor do I care. For a game like this I am just glad they have post launch content. In terms of companies nickel and diming their customers EA doesn't even come close to being the worst. I can't believe the kind of stuff Capcom has gotten away with over the last few years.
