The only gripe you have is that it is released the same day as the game comes out. I get that. But it's still DLC. I couldn't care less when it comes out.
No that's not it either, because there have been examples of DLC being in a game on launch before, but they were available for everyone that has bought the game for free regardless of which edition they bought.

This was already known through the leaked script of ME3 in November. You can read about that in the bioware forums if you like. The DLC was already released on MSN before on February 21st for a few hours, and retracted in an hour after they realized that was a mistake. It was therefore already available for certification pre-launch.
If we allow EA to do this to us, then there will come a time where we pay 60 dollars for a barebone launch title and then fork out another 25 to 40 dollars for Day One DLC that gives us content that's been withheld from the launch disk for no other reason than that we allowed it.
Publishers don't care for the people buying their games, they care for the wallets their money is coming from. If you do not believe that, you are fooling yourself and I mean that in the least offensive way I possibly could. We all fool ourselves every now and then, and sometimes we run into something we enjoy so much that we just want to pretend there's nothing wrong, but trust me EA's head honcho's and shareholders are laughing themselves all the way to the bank if we let them.
