EA wants you to buy games new, not second hand. We've all grasped that now, and its campaign continues with Dragon Age 2, for which its offering free downloadable content to everyone who grabs a new copy of the game come March next year.
EA has revealed it will being doing with DA2 something similar to the Cerebus Network offerings of Mass Effect 2, which could be accessed "exclusively by original purchasers" of the game through a single-use unlock code in the box.
"We will be doing that," executive producer Mark Darrah told Joystiq. "We haven't announced what's in it, but it'll definitely be something kind of in that Cerberus vein where there will be additional content," he added, rather vaguely.
Darrah also promised generally better quality DLC for DA2 than there was for Dragon Age: Origins, which was often criticised for its re-use of existing material and environments. "What we're doing with the DLC in Dragon Age 2 is making it larger; so it'll be bigger teams, more unique environments, more unique creatures -- so that it gets the attention it deserves to get," he said.

The first batch of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions DLC has just gone live, allowing players to pick up a new Cosmic Spidey costume pack.
For the princely sum of 240 Points on Xbox 360 or £1.99 on PlayStation 3, you'll get an intergalactic new outfit for each of the webslinger's four different incarnations in Activision's recent comic book tie-in.
That's not all though – the costumes bring with them a new charge attack to master.
Bad news, PC and Wii gamers: no new threads for you just now. Deal with it.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions swung onto PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 last month, weaving a not entirely unpleasant gameplay experience.

Microsoft's Phil Spencer has told press that he hopes Kinect will become as much a part of the Xbox experience as Live support.
Speaking to GameSpot at a Kinect launch event in San Francisco yesterday, Spencer claimed that every first party development kit has a Kinect attached, in the same way that they all have an internet connection, but that Microsoft wasn't interested in forcing Kinect into situations where it wasn't useful.
"Well we view Kinect as a fundamental part of the platform. It is as core to the platform as Live is," Spencer said.
"We think about the all products in our pipeline, including things that haven't been announced. And just like there's an (internet) pipe connected to the dev kits, there's a camera connected to the dev kits. So you think about those dev kits and those teams and that creative space, and how they want to add to that experience."
"I think over time for first party, you're not going to see that differentiation between 'Is that a Kinect game?' and 'Is that not a Kinect game?' You're just going to think about these things as 360 games. Now that doesn't mean there's no controller included. This is just like Live, since Live is used in many different ways across many different experiences that we build."
However, when asked if games were likely to have Kinect support added retroactively, Spencer seemed to indicate that this would not be the case.
"We start thinking about stuff from the beginning, about the full capabilities of the system, and then getting the best creators thinking about the whole ecosystem and creating on top of it. This isn't about trying to ram stuff in where it doesn't belong.
"For us, the experience is from the ground up, and that's why you see the first launch experiences are completely body controlled. That was the bar we set for ourselves: to make a game that uses the body that's as fun as one that uses the controller. We're putting those games out there, customers will tell us what they think. Third parties have put out a lot of games, and I've been really impressed with the creative that's come to market."
Xbox Kinect will be available in UK retailers from November 10, 2010.

Microsoft's purchase of Bungie back in 2000 made Steve Jobs so angry that a special deal had to be brokered to appease the aggrieved Apple despot.
Former Microsoft exec Ed Fries told Develop, "As soon as we announced we bought Bungie, Steve Jobs called. He was mad at [Microsoft CEO Steve] Ballmer and phoned him up and was angry because we'd just bought the premier Mac game developer and made them an Xbox developer."
Prior to jumping ship to Microsoft and making Halo, Bungie had developed a number of successful games for the Mac, including the Marathon series.
"So, during the day, I got an email from Steve Ballmer asking me to phone Steve Jobs and calm him down about the whole thing," Fries continued.
"Anyway, we did this deal with Apple where we'd port some PC games to the Macintosh and help Peter Tamte create this company to do it, and I had to go to a Mac developer conference and get on stage and talk about this whole new partnership. It was a pretty strange time."
Gulp. Next time you bump into Jobs in the pub, be sure not to spill his pint, won't you?
Ed Fries left his role as Microsoft's vice president of game publishing in 2004 to set up 3D modeling studio Finger Prints. Jobs, on the other hand, is gearing up for another Apple gaming offensive with the imminent launch of an App Store for the Mac.

MMO Kingdom Under Fire II works on Xbox 360 but still won't be released until - at the earliest - Christmas 2011, Eurogamer can reveal.
Why? The same reason Champions Online struggled on console: the closed Xbox Live platform.
"Our initial plan was we wanted to develop the console version first - the Xbox 360 version," KUFII game director Sang Youn-Lee told us. "We actually have completed the system, but because of the policy, we felt that if we kept developing [it] the PC version would have come out too late."
However, co-developer Blueside CEO Sejung Kim offered reassurance: "We have developed the Kingdom Under Fire series on Xbox 360 and we have a fanbase there. It's very difficult not to develop a version of KUFII on Xbox 360. That's why Microsoft wants to have Kingdom Under Fire II.
"The problem is very strict [policy], and it's not easy to change it.
"That's why we are still discussing our billing policy," she added, "and we're asking for some changes from Microsoft."
Kim's comments echo what former Champions Online producer Craig Zinkievich told Eurogamer last October, that "the business part of bringing MMOs to consoles has been really sticky". Cryptic finally gave up on its working console version of Champions Online in March this year.
The problem isn't isolated; even Square Enix - the only company to bring an MMO successfully to Xbox 360 in Final Fantasy XI - has hit a Microsoft policy roadbloack with Final Fantasy XIV Online. It's "because 360 has its own policy with Xbox Live that is different from [the] internet", producer Hiromichi Tanaka said.
Kim told us the KUFII engine was finished and we could see a demo of the Xbox 360 version running "next spring" if we could get ourselves out to Korea. "Although we haven't set a publishing model for Xbox 360 yet we have already developed Xbox 360 basic, so development has already been started and it will be finished as of next year."

WarDevil, the "Xbox 2" game we thought was "breathtaking" in 2004, has been terminated.
Ignition London worked on the project for five years, but mounting costs became unsustainable.
Around 30 staff have been laid off as a result, Develop reports.
Ignition now wants to become "a digitally-focused game development outfit", which presumably means make smaller-sized downloadable games.
WarDevil: Unleash the Beast Within excited everybody with the promise of what a next-gen game could deliver. The story revolved around letting loose in a near-future landscape, and we were promised eye-popping visuals running at an oil-slick 60 frames-per-second.
