No more drama. Mass Effect DLC “Pinnacle Station” is available for download on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. It weighs in at 246 MB and is priced at 400 Microsoft Banana Credits. New Avatar space armor is available for download as well.
The Swiss Xbox Web page's details are accurate. According to content's dashboard description blurb, it takes place on a “top-secret” Alliance Space Station where players can put their combat mettle to the test in thirteen different scenarios. It’s said to take players two-to-three hours to complete and apparently includes a land-able space station (we haven’t the slightest what that means).
One story-related caveat: to access the content, Shepard needs to be a Spectre. In addition to that, it’s likely that he’ll need access to the Normandy’s mapping system, so don’t advance too far and expect to check this out, space cowboys.
[Thanks, Arrested Developer!]

A week after I get Mass Effect, and two months before Beatles Rock Band and Left 4 Dead 2.
:(
Kinda nice to have some surprise DLC. Even nice to have it for one of my favorites.
Release DLC and no endgame play? Bull! Especially for the whole character transfer thing.
I'm beginning to think as far as ME1 goes they were really unprepared. No endgame but DLC? My crew doesn't carry over in the new plot? C'mon Bioware!
All this rage aside I know I'll cave in eventually. At least I have the comfort of knowing I have a whole to beat the game and ALL this side quest...again...god dammit.
Then again maybe it pays to wait until I transfer and then get the DLC. Fuck you and your hold over me Bioware.
If I just want to plow through a 2-6 hour bit of DLC, the game shouldn't make me play 5-10 hours of something I've already beaten first.
I have the Steam version of Mass Effect (What? It was cheap). Unfortunately it doesn't sound like the DLC is working at this time with the steam version. Imagine that! However if anyone has any info on that, that I'm not privy to, I'd love to be informed.
I am reading the same thing, it won't install on the Steam version. I haven't tested it myself, since I don't want to buy it and be screwed.
I would advise you keep checking the Bioware forums... the developers actually respond there with honest commentary on what is going down.
A dev states it will be fixed tomorrow.
...for a full review.
