This is the first time they gave a higher score for the PS3 on a multi platform game.

Wow they actually recommended the ps3 version over the 360, quote from the review.

"On the flip side, the Xbox 360 version looks positively disappointing. Textures are highly compressed and colors are washed out, though the upside is that this version maintains a smoother frame rate than on the PlayStation 3, where things might get jittery when swiveling the camera around.

The PlayStation 3 version features higher-quality textures than those on the Xbox 360, better color saturation, smoother facial animations, and shorter load times. Minor visual hiccups, like corpses that disappear and reappear, are a bit more common on the PS3, however.

The PC version is the superior experience, but if you're choosing between the two console releases, the PlayStation 3 has the upper hand."

I'm very interested in this game (although close-up gameplay shots look absolutely horrendous). Can anyone give impressions? Thanks.

I really want this and Demons soul now but between all these other games I really have no time for RPGs anymore

[Gamma_Winstead]

I pre-ordered the CE with amazon. It's not even going to SHIP until the 20th! What on earth?

[Trailbreaker77]

Dragon Age needs an official thread.

Just a heads up, this is going to be $40 at Kmart on Black friday, most likely Amazon will pricematch

Sears will have it for $40 as well, but I think they may be a combined company. Can't remember don't have a Kmart close by where I live.

Im pretty interested in this game, but the footage ive seen looks terrible. The graphics themselves are ok, but its the animations that are really bad. Im waiting for more reviews.

[Terjyn]

I went looking around for this game, and everywhere had stacks of 360 versions but no PS3 versions.

It got me thinking about just how late they moved up the release date of the PS3 version and whether they had enough time to print a decent number of copies.

[SleeperAgent]

Has anyone been able to find the PS3 Collector's Edition anywhere? I'm starting to think it's been delayed. I can't even find a site that says when they'll have it in stock.

A quick check of ebay shows them gouging it past $120 just like amazon. WTF is going on? I'm about ready to email Bioware to see if they'll sell me a damn copy.

[Weirded Wonder]

The BB in my area has the PS3 Collector's Edition on sale today for $74.99. They have one left after my purchase. The map is beautiful.

That's the normal price

[SleeperAgent]

Ok the only pre-order store from the Bioware site that actually has it listed is the EA store. Has anyone bought from them before??? I'd much rather get it from Amazon with the $20 gc from MW2.

[Morphine]

I bought once from EA store, very expensive, I think they ship with UPS

[SleeperAgent]

Yeah, not worth it IMO. I'm not spending 80+ on a game I might not like. I'll wait till I get my credit from amazon next week and see if the collector's edition shows up there. Otherwise I'll just get regular.
