Do you have a link? I can't find it on the Bethblog twitter.
I don't use twitter aside from lurking for info so I'm not sure how to link individual tweets, but it's at the top of this guy's page: http://twitter.com/ElderScrollsOTR

The fact that we have got to 20 threads says alot...

20 threads of Bethesda completely ignoring us. I just love being ignored after I hand a company money for a product. In no other industry on this planet would people put up with the [censored] gamers are forced to.

Would you please chill? Bethblog confirmed there might be a Dawnguard announcement tomorrow. Pete Hines said there would be an announcement this week.

Bit of patience won′t hurt.

Considering they're doing a big sale on steam it will probably be next Tuesday after the sale so they're encouraging you to buy! buy! buy! before dawnguard. I just bought Morrowind, never played it before.

Chill because I chose the wrong console? That I paid the same amount of money as the xbox user yet I get less content? This should be illegal.

Getting less content? What? You get the same amount of content, you just haven't got it yet - The DLC is still coming to PS3 and PC. Should any PC game with official mod tools be illegal because it is content that consoles don't get? What they did was perfectly legal, and even announced months before Skyrim was even released.

Voice commands, the ability to sort your items, etc.

Does the PS3 even have such a device for voice commands? Also, what do you mean by 'the ability to sort your items'? I've not heard about that.

How much more is Bethesda going to play favorite to the Xbox? Already with the voice commands, 2 exclusive dlcs, updates that PC and PS3 don't get... soon Xbox users will get their DLC FREE... wait that already happend with the Dawnguard beta. $60 Xbox game vs $60 PS3 game. Which is the better value? Hmm, I wonder?

The PC does. And yes the PS3 has the ability to use a microphone.

What are you smoking? PC can use voice commands with mods, the DLCs are timed exclusives, and PC generally gets updates before Xbox. Xbox getting updates before PS3 isn't any fault of Bethesda's by the way, blame Sony's crappy process of accepting patches.

The Kinect support allows you to sort items, not just issue follower commands or speak the shouts.

So you agree the PS3 basically gets screwed then?

So long as they keep getting money for it, that's business. Besides, there are plenty of PS3 games that have exlcusive features that other platforms don't get, it's not uncommon.

As far as I am aware, the PS3 hasn't got a voice recognition device built into the Move - Kinect does. It was an idea already basically created at Game Jam. Im not that bothered though, the Kinect is a barely functional POS.
Timed exclusives, not exclusives. And yes, you get the updates too. PC has 1.7 already, not even the Xbox has it atm. Its coming to PS3 AND Xbox 360 soon.

But that's not what utilises the voice recognition, the Kinect itself does. The PS3's move can't. I think you should for the most part be blaming Sony here. Their system is a POS. That's not to say that Bethesda is blameless though, they brought Skyrim to the PS3 despite admitting that they knew it could barely handle it, that's pretty moronic.

You know what, as a PC gamer, how is it even possible that this game runs on a Microsoft OS yet is not included in the Microsoft timed exclusive? I paid over $200 to install Windows 7 yet because I choose not to play the game on outdated hardware (I have a 360), I'm left out? It makes no sense to me. You say it's business then it's business... but it's business with the same company that created the OS that PC users are required to use to run the game.

This is a bunch of [censored] BS. There is nothing moral about this business practice; Bethesda is earning more money via deals with Microsoft, whose customers paid the same as the rest of us for the same game--and, in my case, potentially more (I bought the $150 collector's edition) for an unfinished, unpolished product (since I'm on PS3).

A lot of people are calling these threads pointless and repetitive, but those people don't know what they're talking about. 4,000+ posts in this series of threads (not to mention countless threads getting locked for being considered spam because they're about this topic) mean something: Bethesda's consumer base feels betrayed and is highly upset, and they can hear us.

Keep posting and don't be afraid to be angry. Be vehement about it. And PS3 players, don't be discouraged by any number of Xbox or PC players who patronize you about how they don't think you have a right to complain: they have been pampered with free exclusive features, items and DLC and have Dawnguard and the Creation Kit respectively, and neither of them got nearly as incomplete a game as us. No Xbox or PC player has a right to try to invalidate complaints about the PS3 version not just because they've been so privileged but because non-PS3 players don't know firsthand how broken Skyrim was and sometimes still is; the game has, despite updates, crashed constantly since release, and the constant crashing (and other bugs) have only become less frequent. Gstaff himself has a stickied thread advising to do things such as turning off autosaves and deleting and reinstalling game data because BGS can't or won't fix issues themselves. But I digress: for that matter, no one here has a right to tell anyone their complaints are unfounded, invalid or that any poster is otherwise disallowed to say anything bad.

I hope laws change that prevent companies from giving certain demographics of consumers monopolized (even if temporarily so) content just for profit in the case of all consumers paying the same price for the same product, such as in this case where consumers are essentially the same outside of which service/console they use to enjoy what ought to be exactly the same product.

20 threads of Bethesda completely ignoring us. I just love being ignored after I hand a company money for a product. In no other industry on this planet would people put up with the [censored] gamers are forced to.

You're right, I can't think of a single one. Exclusive DLC is a ridiculous business practice that ought to be illegal, along with other nonsense such as on-disc DLC.

Chill because I chose the wrong console? That I paid the same amount of money as the xbox user yet I get less content? This should be illegal.
Getting less content? What?

You must enjoy pretending that Xbox and PC players don't get exclusive content and that the PS3 gets nothing but a broken half-game.
