Some of the first reviews are in... as expected the PC version is by far the best for controling purposes... Gamespot gave the PC version 9.5, 9.0 for PS3 and 8.5 for 360...

Gamespot claims the PS3 version is the one to get if consoles are your thing with more vibrant colors and better textures... damnit. May have to switch my version.

I'm holding off on this one for now until I see more of the game. I'm just not sure if this is something I could get into, and Mass Effect 2 is right around the corner.

That said, are there any multiplayer or network enabled features in this game or is it totally single player? I can't imagine what would be network enabled in this type of game, but I only ask because Live > PSN. Also, is the PC version GFWL? Not sure my PC could run it, but maybe...

I got the Digital Deluxe Edition. Not only do I get the 2 pre-order rings, I also get a boatload of weapons and items at the beginning.

According to the official Dragon Age website, it's single player only.

Just a statement, if gamestop F's up my pre order on this game they will find out what my "blight" is all about!

Bonus items include an XP buff!

Picking it up for my girl. Tried to get her to sell Oblivion and use what little money we get out of that to buy this, but that went nowhere fast.

Claudia Black, who plays Chloe in Uncharted 2 has a role in this game as some sort of witch or something.

Initial impressions look good though, and I think she will really enjoy it.

i'm pretty surprised that the ps3 version got rated higher, that's almost never the case, it's usually 360 is rated higher or they're equal

All these rpg's are buggy. Just a matter of how much.

Yeah the only thing i'm wondering is will the 360 install help with the frame rate or general performance?

They never talk about this, but oh well. I knew PC was the LEET way to go but i'm an achievement whore.

What about the Mass Effect 2 armour code?

Is that one shipped with every version including the PS3 ones (regular and CE)?

Good luck with Gamestop. I reserved GH5 to get the 2 free tracks and when I went to go pick it up, they had no clue what i was talking about. After a 10 min conversation and 10 more mins of someone looking in the back, they finally found the codes for the 2 free songs.

Hence why I only buy one game a year from Gamestop.

Emailing their CS will get you your stuff as long as you have your receipt information.

But still I'd like it day one.

I don't think Mass Effect armor comes with the PS3 version either to the above.

I thought it was pretty much confirmed that the armor does in fact come with it?
