Users can buy this bundle by following this link on the Origin store page: However, these are just the cosmetic changes and the bonus Cerberus network content. The Digital Deluxe edition already includes the add-on packs. Moreover, all these different currencies do not have interchangeable values. There is also Origin points which is the EA system’s point system for achievements. The latter is for purchasing extra content for Mass Effect Andromeda exclusively. Note that Bioware points is different from Andromeda points. However, its better than the previous and only other option. Factoring in the age of these games, the prices for these DLC packs are still substantial. All while getting 10X the worth in value. Especially, considering it is the equivalent of buying about 2000 BioWare points. Now it seems that EA is finally offering these add-ons in a single, separate bundle which users can buy with real money directly. It is also quite a rip off considering the cost and the left over. Obviously, not all the points get used up since the prices of each DLC and add-on vary.
It is the equivalent of a store requiring customers to buy a gift card before being able to shop.
Basically you have to buy a special currency which can only be spent on Bioware products. Up until now, if you wanted to buy DLCs for Mass Effect 2 and 3 via EA’s Origin is through the purchase of Bioware points.
