[quote name='RedRingOfDeath']Sadly it would seem that GOTY/Ultimate Editions where all the extras come on an additional disc are going the way of the buffalo... =/
The main problem, I believe, is DRM. When DLC is included on an additional disc it cannot be protected by DRM like when you download it via code. That is why you can take the Borderlands GOTY, or Fallout 3 GOTY (etc...), and take the DLC disc and install it on a console that has the regular version and get all the DLC. The only caveat has to do with title updates. Sometimes on GOTY/Ultimate editions they will update the game with a title update that the DLC will look for to ensure it is being installed on the proper GOTY/Ultimate edition of the game. The title update issue can be overcome fairly easily though and is not a preventative measure. I guess they could require that the DLC disc be in the tray to use the DLC...but that would be a pain in the butt when you need to have the game disc in to run the game, then swap. That would be worse I think and just frustrate people having to swap discs just to play DLC.
In order to prevent unauthorized use, it seems that Microsoft is trying to get game makers to include either (a) DLC codes where the user enters a unique 1-time use code to download the DLC so that the content is registered server-side as purchased by the user and cannot be transferred (like people are complaining about in the comments above); or (b) included DLC in the game disc, so the DLC cannot be installed separately (as seen on titles such as the Forza 3 Ultimate Edition and the Fable II Greatest Hits that includes the added DLC on the game disc (although Forza 3 Ultimate Edition did come with 3 DLC codes for a theme and some other crap on an insert card, the vast majority of the addon DLC was already included on the install disc)).
So that is my reasoning and thoughts... Hopefully it makes sense and I wont just get flamed. I hope I am wrong, and worse-case scenario is that they start including DLC on the game disc for GOTY/Ultimate editions and get rid of the token download codes that people hate, if in-fact they are trying to get away from including DRM-free DLC on an additional disc.

Borderlands came with a token also last I checked
and Star Wars sith edition content requires you keep the disc in the console....
