If bi-weekly operations means that the special packs will also stay during the 2 weeks, then that is totally fine.

Blame Sony, not Bioware.
Sony has a requirement that things of this nature being run on their platform must provide their players with more rewards or greater content than what is offered on X-Box.
The idea is that this provides players with more incentive to purchase a PlayStation, as more games will offer better content to Sony customers, driving sales.
Bioware doesn't want to provide Sony players with more than PC or X-Box players are getting for doing the same thing, which is understandable. Sony does not want to budge on the issue because it will weaken their bargaining position on exclusiveness.
I can't see Bioware saying "OK, Sony, our commendation packs for Sony events will contain three N7-series weapons for your players! PC and X-Box players will continue getting one!"
I also can't see Sony wavering.
It is, alas, what it is.

It's Operation Exorcist, so you won't need to kill 1 million Banshees. After all, if there had been more than a million Ardat-Yakshi, wouldn't that secret have been a little harder for the Asari government to keep under wraps?
The objective will be to kill 1 million Indoctrinated Phantoms.
Makes sense CANONICALLY, but hell, there are a quintizillion Banshees out there. It would be a good challenge nonetheless.

I say Phantoms. Seems to go along more with Exorcist than Banshees do.
Banshees are ghosts. Phantoms are ghosts. How does one go any better than the other?

Every other week is fine, as long as they are actual challenges and give us commendation packs.
If we only get a chance to get a commendation pack every 4 weeks, that will be pretty irritating.

Seconded, though that seems fixed after Raptor. We can only hope.

Damn! This weekend I have to stay at home and I will have plenty of time to meet the requirements for my first commendation pack, while next weekend I will travel and won't be able to play.

also i'm not sure if the Banshees HAVE to be Ardat-yakshi, the Asari in the hospital talks about her friend, an Asari commando being turned into a Banshee, but then she also states that she wanted to have sex with her friend but her friend refused.
Either Banshees can be made from any Asari, perhaps Ardat-yakshi make better Banshees though.
or hospital girls crush was an Ardat-Yakshi in disguise.
i'd think the Asari government would be kinda onto that though.

I will now totally spend $600 on a Playstation and gear!"

I agree with the comment about alternating between XP and Challenge weekends.
but it's going to slow down the N7 collecting to a ...whats slower then a crawl??
I can't say I'm a big fan of the whole random pack as it is....getting N7 only from commendation is irritating

Bioware are you seeing all this? Why not communicate more with the fans? This is really sad. PS3 users are just left out in the cold. Maybe if you keep up with the communication there wouldn't be so much outrage. Do the right thing and let us know what's going on behind the scenes. It would definitely ease a lot of the tension in many forums.

PS3 users were told what they needed to hear a long time ago, and like they said there hasn't been an update with the ps3 situation so they havn't updated you.

Articles about Sony's position on exclusive content are not overly difficult to find. I knew about it even before ME3 was released, though I did not anticipate what has occurred.
