Originality is the art of concealing your sources.

Wat. Is this true? Please god let it be true.

Apparently, they're being remade (or just reformatted in HD... I forget which) for the PS3.

Yes. It's coming out, remastered for PS3, early September.

But that's completely off-topic.


EDIT: Beaten.

Good for them. I won't open my wallet for them when they decide to release the DLC on PC, but I'm not skipping out. Deal with it. Unless they decide to treat the market just as fair that is...

PS3 users get Shadow of the Colossus and Ico.

Most of us got a PS2 so it doesn't matter.

Fallout 3 taught me to wait for the uber-edition. I don't buy DLC from Bethesda. I'll snag the original game, then wait for all of the dlc to be released on a GOTY/uber-edition, trade in my original, and buy the uber-edition. It ends up being about the same price as a game plus one DLC rather than a game plus five DLCs. It svcks that I get it later, but I'm willing to wait to save a few bucks. DLC is something I still have problems paying for. The game is already expensive. Throw three ten-dollar DLCs on top of that, and now Ive paid a hundred bucks for a game. I can't justify that.

As for releasing the DLC at different times, I can understand the business move behind it, but I think it risks alienating gamers that might just go buy something else.

It's not surprising, but it's infuriating, nonetheless... on top of an already highly 360-biased marketing campaign.

YEAAA XBOX RULESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is probably what I'll do. Although I'm irritated at the Xbox being favoured over the PS3 I can wait until the GOTY becomes cheap.

Yeah this. All PS3 users should band together and through sheer force of will not buy Skyrim until GOTY price cut comes out.

Don't let Skyrim overshadow Dark Souls!

They don't have to favour anyone, they could release DLC for both platforms simultaneously. But they won't.

Yes, it's called marketing. Clearly, you, and most of the other teenagers on this forum, have no idea how businesses work. Not an insult, just a fact.
You want to complain and whine about things, yet you have absolutely no idea why decisions are made as a fan. You aren't in the chairs of the devs, Todd Howard, or Pete Hines. You don't have multi billion dollar corproations breathing down your back, making you multi million dollar offers, to push their version of the product you are making.

If I'm wrong, and you do deal with those situations on a daily basis, by all means, correct me. But, well, 99% of the people on these forums don't know how that is.

I actually think they haven't started, it's just microsoft booking the two first DLC's whatever they might be.

M$: "So Skyrim..."

Beth: "It's fine, coming along jus-"

M$: "Dibs on the first two DLCs..."

Beth: "what? We haven't ev-"

M$: *buries Beth in Money*

Beth: "Well when you put it like that..."
