Mass Effect 2 was released a year later with NO additions at full price so, i would like to know where people are getting this from

Except it did... It came out with all the dlc included as well as an exclusive comic intro that let playstation players go through the story of the first game and make all the major choices.  

Indeed, as opposed to being able to actually play the first game. Gee what a bonus. I'll take having access to the original game over a motion comic intro any day. But you are correct, ME2 on PS3 released with all the main DLC included. But it was a year later and at full retail price, while ME2 on 360 was probably going for $30 or $40 at retail. I'd say it's fair enough to expect some extra content on a 1 year post release title that is being sold at new release price. But if you release the game in its original state, then release it for the average retail price it's currently going for on the original platform. What MS is saying is that it doesn't ,atter if you release the game for 1/2-2/3 the new release price, you have to do something special. I don't think Sony was ever strictly like that, if you released at a cheaper price then that was sufficient.
