Skyrim DLC’s Finally Coming to PS3!
Lets be honest, I had given up on ever getting to play any of the DLCs that have came out for Skyrim, and I felt ignored and even punished that I had chosen the Sony gaming system over the Xbox or PC gaming.  I just wanted to fight vampires, and build a home and ride a dragon… is that too much to ask?  So apparently mine, along with many other gamers, complaints about Dawnguard, and Hearthfire, and Dragonborn, have been addressed.  
Earlier today, Pete Hines, vice president of marketing at Bethesda, announced via Twitter that first Dragonborn, followed shortly by the other two DLC’s, would be available to PS3 sometime in February, as well as Dragonborn to PC on 2/5.  This is AMAZING news, as there had been grumblings that the DLC’s may NEVER make the transition to the Sony system due to compatibility issues.
So rejoice Playstation faithful, soon you can continue your quest in Skyrim… just like our PC and Xbox counterparts were able to do 6 months ago.  Thank you Bethesda for not forgetting about us!

I tried to post this earlier but there was an error with the Gif, but here you can see the Disc Bay opening and closing mechanism in the new slim PS3.  Spiffy right?

Some good news for you Mass Effect 3 players out there, it seems that they will be releasing some free DLC for you guys this summer.  Apparently it’s to bring some closure to this threequel due to fan outcry over the controversial ending.  No word yet on whether it will feature any extra gameplay.
Casey Hudson is quoted as saying, “We have reprioritized our post-launch development efforts to provide the fans who want more closure with even more context and clarity to the ending of the game, in a way that will feel more personalized for each player.”

Straight from the mouth of Bezos, if you are an Amazon Prime member ($79 bucks a year, $39 if you are a student) not only can you take advantage of 2 day shipping and a (now) large collection of streaming movies and TV shows, but you can, as of today, now stream all of that media to your Playstation 3!  
Granted the Prime library is much smaller than Netflix, and there is a lot of overlap in titles, but combined with free shipping and the lending library (if you have a Kindle) and I say again, Amazon Prime is one of the best buys out there.
