Dragon Age: Origin downloadable contents expires on April 30,2010...?

Brief background:

I'm in the gameshop, about to buy The Orange Box (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/halflife2episode2ob/index.html?tag=result%3Btitle%3B1).

Being obsessive-compulsive, I have taken my time to decide to buy it...and promptly changed my mind not to buy it just yet...

This happened over and over again.

So I'm in the gameshop, as I said, and again taking my time. Finally I feel that I should buy it already. But I browse through all the other games that interests me first.

I read the Dragon Age: Origin box...I notice that behind it it says that its got a one-time use code for a downloadable character and quest that comes with the retail purchase and that this code will expire on April 30,2010.

"One time use code for a character and downloadable quest? April 30...that's next Friday..."

And in front I see that it also includes a MASS EFFECT 2 downloadable item. (I also plan to get MASS EFFECT 1 and 2).

Take note that I also am seriously thinking of getting Dragon Age: Origin and its expansion, but I am waiting for some sort of Gold Edition to come out.

These downloadable contents were enough to derail my decision...YET AGAIN...to buy The Orange Box.

Main Point of this thread:

So, tell me dear gamers...just exactly what is:

1. The downlodable character and quest that you get with the one-time use code that expires on April 30,2010?

2. The MASS EFFECT 2 in-game item.

It's for a character named Shale and a quest that would normally cost 15 dollars if bought separately. I personally have not done the quest or acquired the character yet, but that's what you get.

The Mass Effect item is the Blood Dragon Armor. It does something, I forget. You can use it both in DA:O and ME2.

Thats why i hate dlcs.dakan45

What does discs got to do with it?

The code is for an optional quest and some armour...It really shouldn't hinder your purchase at all, quite frankly I wouldn't pay for the Dragon age downloadable content because it just doesn't interest me as much. You're much better off getting the orange box, in my opinion. Although don't get me wrong! Dragon age is a fantastic game, you'll just get more out of the orange box

I have heard Bioware state that there is not really an expiration on the codes.

There is an expiration date, but it will still be valid even after that.

In DAO you get half an hour of extra gameplay and a new character. In ME2 you get a medieval armor to wear **IN SPACE**!!Black_Knight_00

O_O' Ooooooooh....weeeiiiird.

Me like! ^_^

Can you confirm this? This will make a dent on my obsessive-compulsiveness if anyone can confirm this.

-_-' Oh...

Thank you for all your inputs.

I wouldn't be buying The Orange Box any time soon after all. ^_^

See, I went to SCHOLASTIC warehouse sale. Got meself a ton of books worht Php7,343. (The Orange Box costs Php1,395). Mostly Geronimo Stilton books.

WEEEEE!!! My savings in the bank just got a lot smaller cuz of that! ^_^

Then again, I am O.C. so who knows, I might buy The Orange Box all the same.
