European PS3 owners, however, still need to hang on until "a bit later in November." Don't worry, that brief disappointment will make eventual platform parity feel like something amazing again!

I hope that means it'll be ready to rock and roll bug free style. Way excited for it :)

"To be specific, the PS3 version will no longer be the latest in showing up on store shelves..."
Couldn't you have been more specific? Not every post needs to contain some funny.

Sorry, Jack, but the info's all there in the very first line.

Good point, although Kotaku itself amps up the "funny" by a degree of "Is-this-really-necessary?" in every single post. It becomes quite exhausting to read that style of crap over and over. But I like Joystiq more, so it is upon them I bestow my constructive criticism. :D

I'll still be getting the PC version (in the hopes that a modding community will be created that will keep new free content coming every once in a while), but it's very nice to see that Bioware stepped up, worked hard, and will be releasing all three version at the same time.

Of course the modding community will amp this thing up. I heard the toolkit Bioware sent out was very extensive.

I never played Baldurs Gate and this might be my first foray into that type of experience. I've played and beaten Mass Effect, Kotor 1 & 2 and Jade Empire so I'm def down with Bioware ... just not really knowing what to expect with Dragon Age Origins.
Does this game have online or local co-op or are the additional characters in the party non playable?

The funny thing is, I was going to get into something like this starting with "neverwinter nights" , but it never caught on with me at the time (the first 30 minutes killed me with its unforgivably slow pacing.
I'm hoping that this is much better; and from the rave reviews I've heard about past Baldur's Gate games (of which I've never played either), it should be good, as it's intended to be the spiritual successor to them.

If you're playing on a console as I'm assuming, the game plays more similarly to a hybrid between Mass Effect and KOTOR then Baldur's Gate. Here's a 20 minute preview of gameplay early in the 360 version http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-dragon-age-origins-360/17-1528/

Cool! I'm definitely thinking about picking up this game(only have a PS3), and the fact that it's coming out sooner than I thought is great. Also, thank you Bioware for putting in the extra work you probably did. It's much appreciated by many people.

I'm worried that because of this they won't be able to fix all the issues with the PS3 version. They did say they needed the extra time to fix things :/

Nice! Now PS3 owners will be faced with the dilemma of which is GOTY:
Uncharted 2 or Dragon Age Origins?
Because Dragon Age is gonna be so good too.

Most PS3 owners have already made their minds up that Uncharted 2 is GOTY. There are also some Killzone 2 & Infamous stallwarts left over. If I had to guess I would say that more than like Dragon Age Origins won't even be in the conversation as it will be either UC2, MW2 or AC2.

If I had to guess, most gamers are morons then if they are seriously considering AC2 and MW2 as GOTY. Yeah GOTY in terms of sales only.
Let's also chalk up Transformers 2 as film of the year while we're at it.

How can you consider any game GOTY without yet having played all the games of that year?

I'll probably still get it for my 360, you know for the Mass Effect 2 costume and the fact that it'll probably run better.
That and the fact that my PS3 has already gotten too much of my love recently between Uncharted 2 and 3 of my friends getting LPB.
Seriously, I;ve never laughed more in a game then in LPB's multiplayer with irl friends while talking to said friends on skype. I almost shit myself laughing yesterday.
My poor 360 hasn't been turned on in weeks.
