    Kotaku has reported that Bioware announced that they have an "exciting announcement" concerning the PS3 version of Dragon Age: Origins coming this friday. What could this "announcement" be? I really have no clue but for now we'll have to do with guesses. In truth I got a bit worried after watching the PS3 version of this game being played on gamespot but Bioware hasn't disappointed me yet. What is that  "exciting announcement" could be I ask you fine Giant Bomb users. I can come up with a few but I am sure you'll have more. Here are mine: 
     

    • The PS3 version will be available with all the other platforms on launch date.
    • Exclusive PS3 DLC.
    • Keyboard/mouse support for the PS3 version.
    • User created content from the PC tool-kit will be available for use on the PS3 (same as in the the PS3 version of UTIII) 
    • Dragon Age: Origins will get a Home space.
     
    Thats pretty much all I can think of. Guess away people, guess away.

    Ahhh crap, just guesses.  Damn it.  Well, I am sorry for responding before reading the whole thing... not a practice I normally do but lists are so eye catching and that coupled with the title... Damn you Mordukai!!!!

    havent you been reading the news lately ?
    user made content support is a big NO NO ... they want to sell you content, not allow you to make it for free.

    My first thought was keyboard and mouse support which I thought would be pretty cool.  Then, I read this, and realized it's far more likely.  Now I just cry.

     Does anyone really click on Home, or do they mean to click on the Playstation Store and just say "Ah fuck. Well... I guess I'll see if there's anything here yet."

    It's big NO NO with MS. Sony are actually more open minded about that subject. Unreal Tournament III  for the PS3 did it and I remember reading that Bioware were kinda liking that idea.

    UT3 is pretty old now though and times are changing. I'd say it was a sign that Sony are once again behind the current trend in gaming. UT3 came onto the xbox a little later and didnt have this support, instead a model setup where a company can make more money from you selling the mods instead of letting the community do it for free.
     
    Look at the PC; massive modding games like the Total War series... Empire Total War = no modding and paid DLC
     
    Its the future. Microsoft gaming platforms supporting paid DLC and far far less modding.

    Thats incredible for PS3 users. Will probably be very good for the modding community.

     I wonder, what was the hold up was in the first place?  I'd like to know if it were something interesting or if it was something stupid like them wanting to print the new PS3 box-art.

    I could see BioWare liking that idea.  EA not so much.
