Bioware seems to be giving away dlc to people who sign up to their DA2 newsletter. You need to follow these two links: http://dragonage.bioware.com/da2/info/parthalan/ and http://dragonage.bioware.com/da2/info/pennyarcade/.
Just follow the links that say 'click to get item.' Of course you need an EA / Bioware account, log in, accept to recieve the newsletter, and viola. Both items need to be done indivudually and unfortunately the PS3 seems to be only getting the staff but the Xbox/PC gets both dlcs. Hopefully this might bite the sting for some of you who couldn't get the signature edition but im guessing not.

Free dlc for DA2 - Penny Arcade Belt and Staff
I'm really starting to hate Bioware/EA's DLC promotional strategies. Every game has to have like 10 different unrelated and occasionally mutually exclusive ways of getting minor snippets of content. Always making you feel like you're missing something somehow, and filling my hard drive with 800KB downloads.
" It's free...seriously, does the sense of entitlement know no bounds? "And the buzzword of the millennium on Giantbomb is...entitlement! I'm so tired of hearing that word here. What does entitlement have to do with hating a company's bullshit strategy for trying to get everyone and anyone to preorder their game, and then fill your inbox full of as much shit as possible? It's obnoxious.
The company is literally giving you free things to encourage you to buy the game that you were probably going to buy anyway if you care enough to download these things. I don't see why this is a problem that needs to be complain about. Is having an email really that much effort for free stuff?
Thanks for the links! Although I probably won't use the staff for my PC till the 3rd or 4th run-through lol.
