If you were paying attention to the events (our previous article) following the release of Mass Effect 3, you know that there is some controversy behind the DLC content 'From Ashes' which features a Prothean character that joins your squad and at least 5% of game content.  Back in February someone had made the mistake and released the DLC early on XBLA.  This raised some attention because the game had not even been released yet.  This started an online uproar of fans calling foul play on Bioware for having completed content not on the final disc.  A viral video was also released showing that the 'From Ashes' DLC is actually on the Mass Effect 3 disc and can be accessed by changing a line of code.




Since then, Bioware has released multiple statements claiming that the DLC was not ready for the final product and that they would never keep content from the final product.  Either way, EA and Bioware have got themselves in a sticky PR situation.

"From Ashes is a 600 MB+ download with all new content, including the mission on Eden Prime, new dialogue options and conversations with Javik, new cinematics, the Prothean weapon, and new appearances for all squad members.  All of the above content was completed while the main game was in certification and are not available on the disc."
