Bioware screw up their most anticipated DLC so far...

I just got in to Mass Effect 1/2 after ignoring them for awhile. I have to say, fantastic games. Do you really think the DLC is worth it though? I got about 30-35 hours out of ME1. I expect ME2 to be the same. There are currently 3 DLC you pay for that add platable content ( not just new weapons ). All three costs $20. I heard that each DLC is between 1-3 hours. So basically for $50 you get 30 hours of play, for $20 you get maybe 5 hours maximum? Really? And heck I only paid $25 for ME2, didn't get it for full retail.

For Drage Age: Awakening at least the expansion added a decent amount of content, these ME2 DLC look like a big rip off.
 
I am referring to the newest one ( Shadow Broker ), Overlord and Kasumi. I believe these are the three best that add actual content and not just items. The three DLC cost $25 total for the 2000 bioware points required. How many hours of content do you think these three add? Like I said, as far as I can tell from reviews a total of 5 hours or so. 5 hours of content for $25? That is almost the cost of an expansion pack. Do most expansions add only 5 hours of content? Dragon Age: Awakening certainly is more. I mean I bought the entire game for $25 on D2D. I am not going to use that as an example though, just stating for reference sake. Even using the full $50 price tag, $25 for 3 DLC that last 5, MAYBE 6 hours seems like a rip off to me, personally.
 
Well, not to really defend it much, but all three of the DLC gives you at least a few things you can use in back in the main game. Especially Kasumi, a character that you can use throughout majority of the game.
