BioWare revealed details today about the new in-game content distribution service, called the "Cerberus Network,” found in the developer’s highly anticipated space epic Mass Effect 2. As BioWare explains, the network will serve as a “conduit for players to receive bonus content as well as daily messages and news on upcoming releases for Mass Effect 2.”
"We’re thrilled to be able to reward loyal BioWare and Mass Effect fans with ongoing, high quality content and provide a direct channel for our players to dive deeper into the intriguing lore of Mass Effect,” BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka said in a statement.
Additionally, if you buy the game new, you’ll receive a download voucher for the in-game network, which will allow you to access to the game’s first free DLC pack being released on launch day (Jan. 26). For those planning to pick up a used copy of the down the line, you’ll have to buy a download code to unlock the in-game content network.
And if this isn't enough Mass Effect 2 goodness for you, then be sure to check out X-Play's "Mass"-ive Mass Effect 2 special airing tonight at 6:30PM EST.

So if I do not have the money to buy it day one I will not get the full game? I will have to buy a code to unlock the dlc. I am sorry but that SUCKS!! I can't afford to pay full price for every game. $70 is alot of money. I do still want the game; I am just saying!!

I really hope the DLC isn't done like in Dragon Age. It was VERY annoying to be constantly reminded I didn't buy the DLC. Open up the quest window and PREMIUM CONTENT tab in all caps to remind me. Go to the campsite and an npc with an exclamation point to remind me I didn't get the DLC.
Not only did that break immersion, but I was a tad annoyed by the fact that I just dropped $50 on DAO and now EA wanted another $5 for the storage that should of been in the game in the first place.
Hopefully this is not the start of a trend to release a game incomplete for $50 and then nickel and dime us with DLC.

Aslong as "free" stuff doesn't turn into them selling you vital parts of the game like Dragon Age. I mean come on, if it is DLC should it really be inlcuded in the credits of the game? I thought the intention of DLC was to add play value further down the line. Not to sell stuff to us that could have been included at launch. That being said I bought all the Dragon Age DLC and will buy even more if they decide to release more. My only hope is that games don't turn into $100 investments.
