sometimes moaning does help
 
Super news everyone. We will be getting both inferno and terminus armor if you preordered from BT games. Also really impressed with Michelle, she emailed me today even though I didn't do a followup email to ask again. With Adrian I always needed to do a followup , he never emailed me by himself.

Yeah I confirmed with Michelle. Apparently they had some issues with people collecting the codes in store with dragon age and darksiders so from now on they will email the codes.

Cool. So now we have Terminus, Inferno, Collectors & Blood Dragon Armor... we may never have to buy armor in game again.
 
Collectors:

The Collectors come from beyond the Omega-4 mass relay, where no ship has ever returned. They are rarely seen in the Terminus system, let alone Citadel-controlled space. Most in galactic civilization consider them a myth, and those unfortunate enough to see them face-to-face rarely get the opportunity to ask questions. As their name indicates, they take captives, usually only a few at a time, always sentient beings with genetic aberrations. But now they have begun to abduct entire human colonies, and no one has a fitting explanation as to why.
Society

Not much is known about Collector society, as those who are unfortunate enough to run into the Collectors are seldom heard from or seen again. Collectors travel the galaxy on vast ships, but their origin and home world remains unknown.
Biology

Collectors are insect like and have fully developed wings that allow them to traverse the battlefield. Their skin is susceptible to modern weaponry, including explosives, incendiary rounds, and cryogenic rounds. Periodically, Collectors have been seen to be 'possessed' by an unknown overseer at which point their skin begins to emit a bright light. At this point they become more resilient and are capable of discharging powerful missiles from their body.

Drell:

The drell ancestors emerged from dry, rocky deserts on the barren world of Rakhana. Eight centuries ago, the already-arid drell homeworld began its swift descent into lifelessness due to disastrous industrial expansion. At the time, the drell lacked interstellar flight capacity, and with their population bursting at 11 billion they faced certain doom. It was around this time that the hanar made first contact with the drell race. In the following ten years, the hanar would transport hundreds of thousands of drell to the hanar world, Kahje. The remaining billions left on Rakhana would perish on their dying planet, warring against each other for diminishing resources. The drell now thrive co-exhibiting with the Hanar and have been a part of the galactic civilization for roughly two centuries.
Society

Most drell are content to live on Kahje. They are afforded every opportunity to thrive by the hanar, yet some outsiders and even some hanar regard the drell as second class citizens. However it is quite the opposite, they have integrated themselves into every level of hanar society as respected, productive citizens.

Those who leave Kahje, tend to be adventures. These solitary drell travelers often seek out new species elsewhere, and in turn adopt that species' culture. Such drell number in the thousands, and are scattered across the galaxy, tending towards quiet, integrated lives.
Biology

Drell are omnivorous reptile-like humanoids with an average lifespan of 85 galactic standard years. Drell appearance is very similar to asari and humans, but their muscle tissue is slightly denser than that of humans, giving them a wiry strength. Many of their more reptilian features are concealed, however one unique characteristic is the hyoid bone in their throats, which allows them to inflate their throats and produce vocal sounds outside of the human range.

Because the drell ancestors emerged from arid, rocky deserts, the humid, ocean-covered hanar homeworld of Kahje proved tolerable only when the drell stayed inside a climate-controlled dome city.

January 19, 2010 - BioWare today unveiled its downloadable content (DLC) plans for Mass Effect 2.

Those who purchase the title new will receive exclusive access to the 'The Cerberus Network,' an in-game pipeline for downloadable content, as well as daily messages and news on upcoming releases for the game at no additional cost. Acess requires players to input a single-use unlock code that comes included with all new copies, retail and digital versions.

"The Cerberus Network augments and extends the rich universe of Mass Effect 2," said Dr. Ray Muzyka, co-founder, BioWare and Group General Manager of the RPG/MMO Group of EA. "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."

The first DLC pack is set for release at the game's launch on January 26, and will include new missions, in-game items, and characters. Zaeed, a "rugged and deadly gun-for-hire" will join Commander Shepard in one of the new missions.

A second DLC pack, set for release "after launch" will included the Hammerhead, a new hover tank for players to take control of, along with "new missions and unique in-game items, including Cerberus Assault Armor which boost shields, health and heavy weapon ammo and the M-22 Eviscerator Shotgun."

If you're thinking about buying Mass Effect 2 used, BioWare says fans will have to pay for an activation code to join "The Cerberus Network," though pricing for a code was not revealed in the announcement.

Yes, lots of info... I am not finding time to read everything... only here and there,.
Mostly sticking to watching the videos though, since it doesn't involve having to read pages of info, easier to watch and listen.
 
So if i understand the DLC thing correctly people who buy ME2 new will get all DLC for free? Or am i misunderstanding it?

We will have to wait and see coz the way i read it, it sounds like they are rewarding loyal ME fans. And that the cerberus network card gives you access to all the newest things.
 
true. oh well. steering clear of spoilerish stuff it sounds a heck of alot bigger than the first game
 
I didn't like that OXM review. Sounded more like a opinion piece that a review. Gave little actual info about the game. Im reminded why i never buy OXM anymore.

I think you will get day one dlc free and some bonus stuff limited to cerberus members but I doudt all dlc would be free. That wouldn't make business sense.
