I bought Mass Effect 2 for my brother this past Christmas. For $20, he got most of the DLC on the disc. This includes Overlord, both Zaeed and Kasumi's stuff, and Lair of the Shadow Broker. The only one missing from the collection is The Arrival, but it's not as essential, and only costs $10 extra if he really wants it. So there's that. Of course, since it's the PS3, that means skipping ME1.

Mass Effect 1 didn't really need a GotY edition. The only DLC worth anything was "Bring Down the Sky", and that cost a grand total of $1.

Hey man, watch your tongue. While I agree 100% that the Jay-Z single was a terrible song to use for the ad, don't assume that all gamers dislike rap. Not everyone behind the controller fits the stereotypical 18-34 rock listening white male (that's not to say this 25 year old black male doesn't enjoy rock, but that's beside the point). You'll be surprised how many fans of rap are hardcore gamers, or hell, how many rappers are hardcore gamers.

Game Informer had an interview with Ice-T, in which he explained how rap culture and gaming formed an almost symbiotic relationship, because both of them started to get very popular around the same era (i.e., late 80s/90s). And hell, I know so many black gamers who love rap, anime, FPS games, and fighting games to say the least.

So please do yourself a favor and not homogenize gamers. Despite our shared interest in gaming, we all come from different cultures and walks of life that possibly dictate our outside interests.

Instead of actually watching Brokeback Mountain and find out that your original assumption is way off base, you take the common road of making gay jokes based off one cheesy line taken completely out of context. If you did view it, you'd realize the film has more to do with the difficulty of same-sex relationship in a bigoted world, and less about raw anal sex scenes. What happens to them throughout the film is tragic and depressing, and should be used as a tool to discourage homophobia. Ironically enough, it's instead used to exacerbate the hatred people like you continue to fuel.
