This isn't a surprise but it's always nice to see the confirmation announcement - Dragon Age has gone Gold and will be available on all platforms from November 3rd in NA. This includes the PS3 version - which was expected to be later in the month. This was the "exciting" PS3 news foreshadowed on the official site, according to VG247 who followed the dev chat on PSN.
In addition to the Gold announcement, the final Penny Arcade Witch Hunt is up and Worthplaying has three new screens and a (hopefully) new trailer.
Here's the PR:
All Versions of Dragon Age: Origins to be Available November 3

EDMONTON, Alberta--(Business Wire)--
Leading video game developer BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts Inc.
(NASDAQ:ERTS), announced today that the PlayStation3 version of Dragon Age:

3, Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game have "gone gold" in North America and
are currently in manufacturing ready for their November 3 launch date. At
launch, Dragon Age: Origins will be available on all three platforms with
several packs of downloadable content (DLC) including The Stone Prisoner, the
Blood Dragon Armor and Warden`s Keep; each further enriching the gameplay
experience.
"We`re excited to confirm that all three versions of Dragon Age: Origins will be
available to fans on November 3 in North America," said Ray Muzyka, Group

create a character with a nearly endless amount of options. Players can download
the character creator and get more information on the BioWare Social Network by

decisions and be willing to sacrifice their friends and loved ones for the
greater good of mankind.

-eh-

:roll:

So the big announcement was that the PS3 version of the game will come out at the same time as the Xbox 360 and the PC version?

I thought it was something bigger than this, maybe a dlc exclusive for PS3? or something completely different that this.

Also, I still don't get the Penny Arcade cartoon? I thought it was supposed to be a comic relief?

edit:

good to know, though, that the game is on time :)

sad to know that I can't afford the game right now :(

edit 2:

The trailer linked to this newsbit is the trailer for the last character NPC, a dwarf named Oghren.

I don't get why they can release the ps3 version in the US on the same day as the others but in Europe it is relegated to a later in November.

BOOYAAAHHH!!!

I know it's not a surprise, but having an official announcement sure makes me feel better. I can't wait to get my hands on this.

I so wanted to post this when there was an announcement, but Dhruin is just too fast. Man, you're like greased lighting with these newsbits. ;)

a Bit disappointing that US ps3 gamers get preferential treatment. Don't know why the ps3 version for europe and rest of the world can't launch with the pc and xbox 360 on 6 November.

Great news that is gold though. Can't wait for 6 November to get my copy of the CE for pc.
