...although honestly, since I've lasted this long, I may as well just wait for the GOTY edition.

Quickly for those interested:

Kasumi is a cool character herself, but the mission isn't that great. Overlord is an awesome mission with good action and a great ending. That being said, it's very short - about an hour and a half.

To sum it up, only get Kasumi if you are a hardcore Mass Effect fan, otherwise skip it. Overlord though, is a must download for 5 bucks.

@Uncle Jesse

I'd say get Kasumi if you're planning to do another play through, or are getting all the DLC. She is an awesome character, her bonus power is nice and you get a supped up SMG.

Overlord is really, really awesome. It was my favorite mission from the whole game.

@Orkchop Stupid question. If I do another playthrough which would be imported into 3 when the time comes?

RAWR.

Is it possible to queue downloads for a XBL account that is Silver?

@DarkKingSilvers I'm pretty sure it is but keep in mind that you need to be a Gold member to take advantage of Deal of the Week pricing.

Ah I forgot about that. No deal for me then. I'll just have to hope they discount the DLC again sometime down the line.

Thanks a bunch.

Just an FYI: I'm not sure that there was ever an official answer found but there was some speculation that discounted content didn't count towards the 2,400 MSP offer.

In fact, I think it was on the very Major Nelson blog post that is linked but I cannot remember.

Correct. DoTW and Discounted items do NOT count towards the 2400 points spent.

@mickey2002 WHAT! Ugh. I've been spending money like water for nothing.

Well, I did grab Comic Jumper and will probably grab Super Meat Boy so I should be fine.

Actually, the offical twitter for Xbox Support has confirmed for multiple people that DoTW and items from the Sequal Sale Extravaganza *DO* count towards the 2400 points needed for the rebate.

Credit to reddjoey at CAG and Source: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=264333

From the same source, the items which do not count are:
-Zune Content
-Avatar Gear
-Games on Demand
-Game Room Games
-Indie Games
-Themes and Gamerpics
-Videos
-Gamertag Change
-Rock Band/Guitar Hero Import Fees

@insidiousknave Part of me seems to think that nobody knows for sure what does and does not count because I saw a post on Twitter that was linked to by somebody else that works for Xbox saying that DOTW content didn't count...

Thanks for posting that! I was suddenly worried that the AC2 dlc I bought the other day wouldn't count and waiting to see if the ME2 dlc went on sale was all in vain.

With the AC2 and ME3 DLC counting towards the 800msp rebate, I'm going to be getting a whole bunch for my money this month. It almost feels like Steam.... almost.

Blerg. Bought this stuff last month sometime. The only one I need is the shadowbroker one. Oh well, I'll still get that, deathspank 2, and maybe the sacrifice...though I've heard it's not really worth it...and it's pretty lame that you have to buy it twice for it to work with both games.

Already bought all the DLC, money well spent, and will get the PS3 version as well.. Mass Effect is quickly becoming my new favorite franchise.

You missed the photoshopping opportunities, Joystiq! You should've made all those green squares into dollar bills!

You overestimate Joystiq's photo editing skills.

When I read the headline I was getting pissed...I just got the Shadow Broker DLC (awesome btw) 2 days ago...now regarding the old DLC I got them on day one. If you only have the green for 1 then overload is the one to get.
