Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and all future Skyrim DLC packs may never make it to the PS3. It's a reality that is becoming ever clearer to frustrated owners of Sony's big black box, as expansions come and go for the Xbox 360 and PC with nary a whisper of a PS3 date. 

Bethesda took to their own forums today to talk the difficulties of getting these massive packs up and running on the PS3. 

"Skyrim is a massive and dynamic game that requires a lot of resources, and things get much more complex when you're talking about sizable content like Dawnguard. We have tried a number of things, but none of them solve the issue enough to make Dawnguard good for everyone.

The PS3 is a powerful system, and we're working hard to deliver the content you guys want. Dawnguard is obviously not the only DLC we've been working on either, so the issues of adding content get even more complicated. This is not a problem we're positive we can solve, but we are working together with Sony to try to bring you this content.

We wish we had a more definitive answer right now. We understand the frustration when the same content is not available on all platforms. When we have an update, we will certainly let you know. We deeply appreciate all the time and support you have given us, and we'll keep doing out best to return that."

Skyrim has always been troubled on the PS3, with multiple patches finally whittling down most of the game's numerous issues.
