Bethesda have finally made comment about the upcoming Skyrim 1.7 patch for consoles.

For Xbox 360 users, the patch that offers improved Kinect support for Dawnguard – amongst many other things – will be available on Thursday August 9th.

US PS3 owners will also get the patch on the same day, with EU PS3 owners having to wait a perplexing extra week to receive the update.

For PS3 owners, patch 1.7 is a double whammy, bringing both the fixes from 1.6 as well as the features of 1.7 too.
