Day one DLC always sparks up a debate, but I'm posting this to show how it has recently screwed me over and how I have been denied access to game content that i have paid for.
My problem is with the Mass Effect 2 Cerberus Pack DLC.
Now I have recently bought all 3 games for PS3 along with all DLC so i can marathon through them all for the first time.
However the Cerberus Pack DLC code has an expiration date (Jan 1st 2012) so i can't download the content. The problem is caused due to EA and their former need for online passes, now however on PC, Xbox and US PSN/SEN the content can be downloaded for free. But not on the UK store.
I have tried contacting both EA and SONY on this problem and it seems I will never have access to the DLC, which honestly has pissed me off.

Contacting Playstation support is pointless, It's always an automated reply that doesn't even address the issue.
Also I have a US account, but downloading the DLC from the US network prevents it from working with a UK Mass effect 2 disk.
I decided to make this post for:
- A bit of a rant
- Cause discussion and highlight potential problems around day one DLC and online passes
- Any adivce on how to get the DLC so i have access to the full ME experience the first time playing it.
