As for the Xbox 360 version, it is coming out tomorrow, so the 360 players can enjoy the game a while before the rest of us get our hands on it.
We’re less than 24 hours away from unleashing Skyrim’s next add-on
Dragonborn on Xbox LIVE. It’s one of our most ambitious add-ons
ever and we’re excited for everyone to play it.
We’re also happy to announce Dragonborn will be available on PS3 and
PC early next year.
The support from Skyrim fans over the last year has been amazing, and
it’s driven us to support Skyrim more than any game we’ve ever
released – including free content updates, modding tools like the
Creation Kit [2] and the Skyrim Workshop [3], and our add-ons,
Dawnguard and Hearthfire.
And we're still not done – we look forward to sharing more Skyrim
news next year!

A moderator has closed this comment topic for the time beingWe know Skyrim was built around the Xbox360 and nothing else so it's no surprise that other platforms have to wait for addons because Bethesda love the Xbox360 so much. He's me thinking game developers should be impartial and platform agnostic. It's not like Skyrim didn't do well on the PC, in fact is blew Bethesda away and yet they thank us by releasing the Xbox360 version first.
I don't suppose it matters much because the modded version will be superior as usual.
According to this My link Dragonborn will be coming to PC Feb 5th.
So, y'know, only a month or so after it was supposed to get here. Still no real reason why, but at least they gave us a release date.
If I thought it would mean anything, I wouldn't buy it, but since that would just be depriving me of this content, my sails are set for Solstheim.
Bug'thesda are truly uber nubs.
So obviously i have given up all hope on Dragonborn for PC because Bethesda obviously just does not care. They have made it more than clear that their primary console is Xbox and that their 2nd priority is now PS3 because I have seen a whole lot of responses form Bethesda and are thorough in re-assuring PS3 users that they will get Dragonborn but haven't heard much at all on PC, so where does that leave us??? Right in a ditch and i can guarantee its going to be a longggggg time if at all before you see Dragonborn released for PC users.
And if you are wondering yes I have given up on Dragonborn, and i won't lie if it comes out I will buy it in a heartbeat because it is a DLC that I have been looking forward to play and since Skyrim is my most loved game I think of all time i want all the DlC that comes out for it. But believe me it is going to hurt a lot giving my monetary support to Bethesda, which is now a company i can't stand.
Because the way I remember it, things were pretty similar for the Dawnguard situation, except people were even less impressed with the actual content. Yet that DLC seems to have done just fine for Bethesda to continue with the Microsoft exclusivity (assuming Heathfire fit the terms of the original contract and Dragonborn was part of an extended contract). And I imagine Dragonborn will do just as well, if not better that Dawnguard simply because it is a much more promising DLC in-general for what it adds.
Anyway, I'm not as upset as other people about still waiting. For one, I didn't get Skyrim until last June, so I haven't been through it a billion times yet. And I didn't get Dawnguard until October and haven't even explored all of its content yet (in my first semester of grad school so game time is pretty limited during the school year). And honestly that worked out great because by them the patch was out, most of my main mods had come out with patches or updated to be compatible so I had no problems playing Dawnguard when I finally got it. And I imagine I'll do the same with Dragonborn considering I just started a new game where I'm roleplaying as a non-dragonborn (which kinda makes most of the new content useless
That being said, the sooner it's released the better, for the sake of modders if nothing else. But more than anything, I feel bad for PS3 users. My brother has it for the PS3 and we get together to play (we don't really get along or have much in common, so playing the same single-player game in the same room is about as close as we get to 'bonding'), and I just feel terrible they have no Dawnguard, no mods, and no explanations for the delays. And knowing their first-world problems are quite a bit worse than us pc-gamers makes the wait a bit more bearable.
More than outrage, I think that this apathy I can guess many of us are feeling is a real warning sign to Bethesda that something is wrong with the way they are handling the situation. Outrage can be calmed, but when you have a group of potential customers who simply don't care anymore, that's bad news.
Congratulations for screwing this one up royally Bethesda, I think I'll just download a couple more mods.
The fact that we haven't gotten a release date yet makes me think it may not be coming this month. Also the fact that today was the day it was predicted to come out, and still no word.
yes you are correct, but the 360 version is far from perfect ie. bad frame rates sometimes dropping to zero crash the game, so in essence the 360 version is almost like a test guinea pig version for us PC users, i presume Bug'thesda have been ironing out the Dragonborn creases over the last month.
Technical Issues with PC and PS3 ? This was the reason for Dawnguard and Hearthfire right?
Considering the DLC is created ON PC, using software ON A PC, designed by them FOR A PC. Wouldn't it make sense to TEST it on PC first?
Call me callous.. But Microsoft being the mongrel dogs of the Empire, bribed the Jarls of Bethesda with a very high number of septims on releasing this content a month earlier. I mean cash.
