As do the rest of us xbox users

Agreed.

[Dagan Wilkin]

I hope there will be more purchasable/obtainable houses added in dawnguard

[JAY]

lol so many players wanting it, still remember it is only a beta so it might be buggy. But other than that good luck to you all. Its going to be fun waiting lol.

[Genocidal Cry]

Yes houses need to have more to them (yes you can outfit them etc) but the only reason i tend to use a house is to store stuff... any others? (apart from potions and enchanting too)

[Sunny Under]

Damn, I know Bethesda has a deal going on with Microsoft, but holy hell are PS3 dudes getting neglected

[Lew.p]

It's all a sham I tell you! A conspiracy!

They're trying to get more people to create accounts, then they'll send out they're mind control waves thru our computers to take over our brains and turn us all into mindless slaves!!! Servants to Todd Howard in his mad pursuit of calipers.... and caliper related paraphernalia.

No kidding, Kinect support, one month earlier. PS3 Players are going to be commiting murder soon and I don't mean in the game.

meh, I think mayby Sony might be a little bit difficult to deal with. It was the same on Mass Effect 3, Whenever there was a weekend challenge for somereason Sony wouldnt aprove to let PS3 people take part so they missed out on about 2-3 of them or something along those lines.

[CYCO JO-NATE]

Just remember, whoever gets selected should stay out of here, and post on cheats, hints and spoilers instead. Especially with the beta + exclusivity for a month.

Don't worry there will be a closed forum thread for the testers just like with the patches. I sincerely hope though, that all these laymen aren't just here to get the dlc early and will contribute to the beta thread.

Kinect support... wupdy doo. Kinect cost ￡100. Would you be willing to pay that just for a tiny bit extra? Plus Xbox players pay for online. It's sony's fault.

[Sami Blackburn]

The paying for online is neither here nor there, the bottom line is that MS is willing to fork out to gain temporary exclusives for their playerbase and sony isn't.

Added to that, Sony decided to go with 'space age' tech for the PS3 instead of playing it safe, leading to much of the porting woes they have suffered.

Don't hate Beth or MS. If you own a PS3 then let Sony know they screwed up, whether it be with your voice or your money.

I hope i get in
Huge Skyrim fan here

Eh? I'm not hating on MS, if that's what your saying. I'm saying Ps3 players should stop complaining about things like kinect and the 1 month exclusivity. Plus I did say it was Sony's fault so what exactly is your point?

[Ezekiel Macallister]

How many spots do you think there are?

[Catherine N]

How many spots do you think there are?

Probably loads. The more people means the more bug testing (hopefully).
I just want Bethesda to let people outside the US test it, after all, why would they add an international option?

Gstaff says he doesn't know if it's US only at the mo but we will found out next week.

Cool stuff. Let's hope they let us.

I think it will probably be a relatively small group because 1) they will want to screen testers to make sure they are picking people who will help, 2) more people means higher chance of leaks, and 3) this DLC is for sale and not free like a patch, so they won't want too many people playing the content without paying for it. Whereas the patch betas on Steam aren't a big deal because patches are free and their content is not being kept secret.

Well, there is always a risk of leaks, with more people or less.

Don't worry about that, I'll certainly be contributing more to the forums. I'd never really had a need to go on the forums before, but what with the Elder Scrolls Online being announced I'm almost certain to be spending a lot more time on here.

[Luis Longoria]

Well, there is always a risk of leaks, with more people or less.

Of course, but risk is something that has to be managed. If all your beta testers are employees, risk still exists, but the risk level is less than if you are picking only strangers. By the same token, the more testers you have the higher the risk, since each person adds more risk. The fewer people who are in the test, the fewer people who are able to leak, and furthermore, if there is a leak, fewer people means it is easier to pinpoint the leak.

[R.I.p MOmmy]

Ditto.

[Nims]

Either way this DLC is sure to be awesome, Beta or not

Oh and yes, I also hope that international players will be able to test it also, being from the UK...

[James Hate]

Damn, I know Bethesda has a deal going on with Microsoft, but holy hell are PS3 dudes getting neglected

Well, that's the Bethesda seem to operate nowadays. XBox is SUPPORTED!, PC is supported and PS3 is "supported" (massive sarcasm quotes)

I know, I should have posted with a little more clarity lol, only the first sentence was directed at you. I reckon MS would fork out for these exclusives regardless of whether or not they charge for online play...

Other than that I totally agree with you. Apologies for the confusion
