    I know you've been gone nearly a year - and welcome back - but this topic has been discussed a lot. Honestly, I hope you get your DLC, but it may be quite possible that you will never get it; it simply may be beyond the PS3 capabilities.  Good luck.

    Don't see how ps3 capabilities aren't enough for the dlc when the x-box 360 was released earlier. Sorry rune, but you're logic doesn't make any sense. I reckon Bethesda just needs to learn how to program for the ps3 better, this is getting out of hand.

    It's got something to do with the way the PS3 handles memory differently from both Xbox and PC as soon as they figure that out you should be seeing DLC unless they are just finished trying

    It's not it's hardware capabilites but its odd programming environment. Many other devs have had trouble with PS3 stuff too.

    Yes, it's due to the fact that the PS3 has a split CPU/GPU RAM memory of 256Mb/256Mb, while Xbox has one big RAM memory of 512Mb that both CPU and GPU use, which allows for more flexibility when a game is particulary heavy on the CPU or GPU, in Skyrim's case probarly the CPU.

    The upcoming patch stated something about getting ready for PS3 dlc.

    To everyone explaining why PS3 may be more difficult to produce for, I completely understand your point and the truth in it. However as a PS3 player: their job is making video games.. I think I am not alone in wishing that they were actually capable of doing their job for all consoles, not just ignoring PS3 because "it's harder."

    I bought a lamp ten years ago.

    Its brighter, and more effecient than a torch I bought last year.

    Should the torch I bought last year automatically be better as a lamp because its newer?

    Thats what your argument boils down to. One console came out first, so the second console thats got very different hardware, should be totally better even though it was developed mostly at the same time as and completely seperatly by different companies with different aims.

    The xbox360 is the lamp.  The ps3 is the torch. Both of them give us light, but to read with the torch, I need to position the torch just right, or hold it over my book.

    therefore its newer, but harder to work with.

    ... I rambled.

    That's cool, I just didn't really understand the sense behind it. I did figure it had something with the programming. I've heard of some problems with the ps3 but I've never seen anything this bad.

    Bethesda released patch 1.8 beta for pc and they found files titled ps3 downloadable content with dragon riding and spell casting animations. It's called dragonborn.
