-Sony resp quoted as saying it has nothing to do with them and they were in the dark as to the event even taking place. There are accounts of this all over the forums, here and elsewhere. Look it up if you choose.
-Adding and taking away packs that all other platforms have had is the same on the PS3, yet somehow it is technically incapable of participating in an event that adds free packs..................sounds like you need to remove your tinfoil hat.
There is also Bioware reps saying they're working with Sony to get around technical issues with the PS3. You don't get to say that Bioware is lying to me but Sony is being perfect and truthful. It's most likely a case of Bioware wanting to do something on the PS3 that Sony isn't allowing but Sony thinks their system is fine and they didn't want to allow it in the first place.
The event also required specific data tracking to see if you should get those packs. They can patch their game and add to it or take away from it is all that is clear, but the event was more than "Here, have free stuff for doing nothing!".
can you find the Bioware rep that said that for me. i have been looking for it for quite awhile. i have only found two things from a bioware rep on the matter, and neither of them have put blame solely on Sony's shoulders.
this is a crappy game of pass it down the line where every last person takes a simple statement and twisting it to fit their argument. nothing that has been brought to this discussion has ever been confirmed by Sony or Bioware so please stop passing it around as fact unless you can provide a source.
saying that they are working with sony does not equal "Sony's fault" and you are just doing a diservice to both the Sony, and Bioware brand name by speculating on things that you cannot back up.
This.
My conclusion is based off of 2 things in particular.
1-Packs can be taken and added like any others. PS3 could reap the benefits of the event like the other platforms=FACT. Also, if it wasn't an exclusivity issue as I suspect it was, why didn't PS3 owners reap the benefits of the free packs like the others? You will counter with "You didn't participate so you didn't earn it" I counter with, "Yes, we didn't participate, but that didn't stop them from including us in the past weeks even which directly relates to Operation: Goliath".
2-If security/datamining is the problem, why is the problem fixed in a week? Seems like it would be an ongoing issue directly related to them not participating in any of the events.
