Many gamers that purchased The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for PC and PS3 have been rather irritated by the drought of news on the release of the Dawnguard expansion for their platform of choice, that was expected 30 days after the Xbox 360 release. Luckily, the drought could end "soon".

On topic: Sorry, Bethesda. You had a chance to grab my cash earlier this month. That ship has sailed, though.
As someone that purchased the PC and PS3 versions I actually do not have a huge issue with it. Why? I get it, it's a business decision. Well so is my not caring about Dawnguard. Sorry but you do not get to have it both ways. After the Fallout debacle and now this your second chances are done. You blew the one you had.
August marks the beginning of a mad fall for gaming. Too little, too late. Sleeping Dogs says take a hike.
Seriously, that's what happens when you neglect your other platforms. Selling out to only one is shooting yourself in the foot. Not only are you losing consumer goodwill, but people are likely to simply move on or stop supporting you entirely. And what is gained from releasing early on 360? Does the DLC somehow play better? No. So long as they actually get it on time, they don't think twice of it.
You can't expect to shamelessly market the 360 version with early access and then go to the PC/PS3 customers saying "Oh no, wait! You're important too!"
Buy game at launch, finish it, sell it while it still has value and wait for GOTY edition.
Even though they said the DLC would come one month after the Xbox release giving off the impression that they already did announce it for the PC/PS3.
June 26th - ONE MONTH LATER - July 26th
Date Today - 29th July
Oh would you look at that your 3 days overdue.
I'm surprized more people are not complaining about this, Bethesda having their head so far up Microsfots arse is ridiculous. This is going to happen to every Bethesda game you know it's already happened to past Bethesda games starting with Oblivion so Skyrim isn't the end of it.
I know I got the 360 version and I shouldn't be bothered about this but I still find it unfair on PS3/PC players.
Here's the PR: http://www.joystiq.com/2011...
And skyrim got such great reviews but dawngaurd hasnt gotten the same reaction
Umm i might pass when this finaly drops on ps3
For what its worth, the expansion is pretty damn good. If you play through both sides of it, you'll spend around 20-22 hours in it.
Now that i.ve seen the contents and the review of the dlc, i am not willing to pay for a vampire skin and a few quests. So bethesda might have got microsoft money, but they lost atleast half of the ps3 and pc player money.
But why did they delay it further? Did MS pay them handsomely than ever? Maybe, MS did keep the GTAIV DLC for themselves for an entire year. But GTAIV was single handily the the biggest title of 08 (along with Metal Gear)So that make sense.
Skyrims a big title but MS usual secures a month of exclusivity, after that MS doesn't care where it goes from there just like COD.
Bug squashing? Highly doubt it. Pass DLC that released on PC and PS3 was still a buggy mess with several patching.
I really hope they come out with a statement soon explaining themselves (I doubt it) But PS3 fans shouldn't feel "ripped off" you still payed for a full and complete ( buggy) experience.
As far as Dawnguard is actually pretty good, and adds a good amount of new features that are worth getting the DLC alone for if you play on PS3 (PC could just use mods). It's buggy, I won't deny that... but nothing really "game breaking".
This timed exclusivity is nonsense.
But with mods on the pc etc, the original game without dlc I'm still not done with.
On top of that timed dlc is dumb, instead of stubborn stop being so willing to spend your money.
fck you bugthesda kickass torrent will be my friend for your expansion.
you treat me sh!t with your deals,i treat you sh!t with piracy
