Upset about the revelation that Mass Effect 3 will have $10 DLC at launch, the editors at Gameranx have packaged up their concerns and put them into an editorial. You know, I think the annoyance factor could have been kept to a minimum if the add-on's significance had been covered before the ME3 Collector's Edition started selling out everywhere:

Previously in Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age, the only in-game content associated with the Collector's Editions were additional armor and weaponry. As I mentioned earlier, content as large as the DLCs including Zaeed and Shale were always included free of charge. Dragon Age 2 went a small step further, by restricting The Exiled Prince DLC to "Signature" copies of the game, which all pre-orders were upgraded to.

This has changed.

With Mass Effect 3, we now have to pay for content that's been developed concurrently with the rest of the game, but released separately for extra profit and to make the Collector's Edition look more attractive to buyers.

There's also 36 pages and counting in the original thread on the BioWare Social Network, if you want to check out other people's reactions.
