So I found out today that the new Shadow broker DLC is out, a bit late to the party I know but still very exciting. I went to my friendly Bioware social site to purchase the DLC on PC and... oh yes, I forgot about the point scheme that Bioware has implemented for Mass Effect 2, which is I'm sure some kind of imposition from Microsoft as it is designed the same way the Xbox points work.
 
Well, I decided to purchase the Shadow Broker DLC  (800 points - $10)  and the Overlord Pack (560 points - $7) as well, which is one that I wanted to play too. I can buy 400 ($5) points, 800 ($10), 1200 ($15) and 1600 ($20).  I can also buy 560 ($7) if I only buy the Overlord Pack. I have 80 points as a left over from a previous purchase. There is no way I can use those 80 points. No matter how I combine it. So I would have to again buy points, get the DLC and leave some points floating.
 
This is what happened the last time I purchased DLC and I wont do it again. So I've decided NOT to buy the Overlord Pack and so Microsoft and Bioware loose the chance to get my money. This point thing is ridiculous and although I'm sure Microsoft will never let it go, I just hope Sony kicks their ass eventually and forces them to shift their ways. Unlikely but one can dream...
