PAX 2011: Skyrim DLC Heading To Xbox 360 First

PAX 2011: Skyrim DLC Heading To Xbox 360 First

None

The folks Bethesda at have given PlayStation 3 owners a reason to bristle; they announced today that Xbox 360 owners would have the first crack at two downloadable content packs for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Does anyone else find it surprising that Bethesda and Microsoft would choose to announce this before any information about the DLC has been released? I mean, we don’t know when the DLC packs will come out, or what they’ll include, but we know who will be able to download them first? Furthermore, Skyrim hasn’t even been released yet. So, it seems strange that the most urgent announcement they could make at this point would be about an exclusivity deal for an upcoming DLC pack that will be released at an unknown date for a currently unreleased game.

Either way, PlayStation and PC owners won’t be completely left out. The deal will expire after 30 days, at which point the game will be available to anyone who wishes to grab it.



So, if you’re trying to figure out which system to play Skyrim on, this might tip the scales in Xbox’s favor, but considering the lack of information, it might mean nothing at all.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will hit shelves on November 11, 2011.
