I've been lackluster to play Skryim on the PS3 because of hearing that DLC wouldn't be coming to PS3 at all. Was getting tired of Bethesda pulling that, but finally got some great news (granted it may be slow). Just found out today that the DLC will come to PSN during the span of 3 weeks and be 50% off for the first week of each. Finally don't feel like I was getting screwed by Bethesda or like they were playing favorites for 360 users.

For those who have been interested, but gave up on watching their blogs.

My brother-in-law would argue the reverse. He absolutely can't handle keyboard+mouse controls in almost ANY game. I've even watched him attempt it... it's... actually really embarassing.

I definitely am a keyboard+mouse kinda guy though, but in developing my next game I intend to have joystick, gamepad and 360 controller support all the same.

I think the only drawback from playing Skyrim on console is mod availability, since it seems it was designed taking a gamepad in mind. I'll get the DLC unless a GOTY edition is released for 360. I already own Skyrim for PS3, though it's buggier than the 360's version.

After playing with the two styles of controls(although admitting that I only played the PC version for, like, two and a half hours, on a friend's computer), I personally prefer the 360 Version I have home. Elder Scrolls is not about aiming, it's about moving(And guard-hitting, heh), and nothing controls movement better than a good analog stick. FPSs, however, play much better using keyboard-mouse controls. The mouse is ridiculously more precise for aiming.

I had the misfortune of playing the PS3 port of Skyrim not too long ago. The frame rate stuttered like an epileptic watching Pokemon, and whoever designed the menus should have the skin flayed from their bones.

Yuck.

I'm surprised a GOTY edition hasn't been released yet.

I liked the minimalistic HUD, though I'd liked even more if it had quick item/weapon selection as in Oblivion via D-Pad.

The PS3 controller makes it even worse because mine just started failing when pressing L3 button (for stealth). Apparently, there's a pretty common issue on PS3 controllers that makes random inputs when you press L3 button. It obviously applies for any game. Like when I'm playing an FPS and I start shooting, jumping and throwing grenades instead running.

Search Nexus for SkyUI. It looks pretty awesome by comparison, but like I said it depends on a third party mod that isn't even on Nexus, which raises my suspicions...

The local maps in Skyrim are indeed pretty terrible. The world map isn't bad, but the local maps are next to useless.
