Gamers were happy to toss in a few more dollars to purchase the downloadable content timed for the launch of Dragon Age: Origins, according to EA exec. VP and CFO Eric Brown. During a presentation at the BMO Capital Markets "Digital Entertainment Conference" in New York this afternoon, Brown revealed Dragon Age: Origins's downloadable content has already produced $1 million.

"Dragon Age just launched about a week ago, it's doing very well," said Brown. "The game was designed at the outset to have extensive PDLC [paid downloadable content] at launch, as well through the next 12-plus months of its lifespan. We're well past one million in PDLC, so the attach rate appears pretty good."

Were you one of the apparently many gamers who paid for the downloadable content?

    Hey, I just bought the game with the Stone Prisoner content (and the amazing Blood Dragon Armor) but when I redeem it on the website, and I go back into the game, it doesn't show up in the downloadable content menu. The customer support site says that I should sinply just update it, but that doesn't work either. So if anyone have had simiular experiences and might even have a solution, please get back to me at mellem-c@hotmail.com

    The WK DLC was to short. Fun but to short for its cost. The stone prisoner would have been worth the money seeing how you get a new char. But that came free. They should have made it so you got WK free and had to pay for SP.

    With the huge main quest, side quests, side side quest and jobs it's gonna be a long time before I even start to think about DLC. This game is HUGE and I love every little bit of it especially my dog Anus.

    @ Umbrosus

    You should make sure they aren't tucking back. But maybe you like it that way?

    I love the people overly concerned with how 'nerdy' fantasy is. They're typically the ones not getting laid.

    I also find it incredibly ironic considering I meet a lot of cute college girls that love Bioware's games.

    This game is just one step too far on the uber-nerd scale for me. I will not play this game as I would rather continue getting laid.

    Warden's Keep is a pretty good DLC. It's short but good. Hopefully we'll see more characters, cool items and longer side quests. Now that I'm thinking about it, how about a new ending as a DLC or playing as a Dark Spawn?! That would be very interesting.

    The game was dones months ago so they started working on the DLC. They gave everyone some incentive to buy the game by including DLC in it. They also wanted to get the people renting the game to buy their DLC as well by having it ready day one. I still don't see where The Stone Prisoner is worth 1200 points over Wardens Keep for 560 or whatever it is. Just because I get a new ass of a companion ? Bleh.

    I just wonder if this is going to become the new standard... DLC offered at launch seems a bit odd to me but there seems to be very little actual dissent about it so I guess time will tell.

    And the 360 DLC Achievements awarded in the first 4 days are still glitched. Thanks for the f-up M$.

    I bought Warden's Keep immediately after installing the game, without even knowing if it was good or not. This is how much faith I have in Bioware to bring me some good thangs.

    And if it didn't have a strong enough precedent already, now EA knows it can charge day-one content that could have been on the disc and rake in the cash. Great job, guys.

    I only had to buy Warden's Keep, but will get more if its worth it. Game is both fun and frustrating at the same time.

    Well, three of the four DLC options came with my Amazon pre-order, but my desire to punch the in-game sales-douche in the throat has thus far prevented me from dropping $$ on the Warden's Keep. I'm sure my will will break soon enough and I'll be enjoying new armor and abilities too.

    Who doesn't want armor equivalent to a mini-tank (Blood Dragon Armor) and a sarcastic, sadistic stone golem that likes to smash things(The Stone Prisoner)?

    nope, didn't pay for it, just downloaded the stuff that came with the game. didn't get the collector's edition so i'll have to pay for the warden's keep eventually.

    I still need to get Warden's Keep yet, once I scrounge up some Points for it. Too bad it wasn't included in new copies like The Stone Prisoner is!
