Mass-effect – When are new Shadow Broker recordings shown

mass-effect-2

At the end of the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC (which was awesome!), you are shown various security camera recordings. The narration indicates that more recordings will be available later.

When is later? Is it based on your progress in the rest of the Mass Effect 2 story? Or a real-world timer, maybe based on how close we are to the release of Mass Effect 3? Or does it depend on Bioware releasing new content for it arbitrarily?

I think more recordings are shown on your second visit to the Shadow's Broker ship. I think it isn't enough to just go back to the Normandy, then back to the ship, but I could be wrong on that.

When I played through Mass Effect 2 on a second character, I did the DLC relatively early in the game (well before the end of the main quest). I happened to go back to the ship later in the game to see if anything had changed, and new recordings were available.

If I had to guess, traveling to another system, landing, and traveling back should be enough to trigger the second set of recordings.
