How Can I Remove Patch 1.04 From Dragon Age?

"Dragon Age: Origins" is a role-playing game for play on the PlayStation 3 (PS3) and Xbox 360 gaming consoles. As with many games, Dragon Age has patches that can be installed automatically when attempting to play the game and your system is connected to the Internet. A patch is an addition to the game that is released by the developer that either adds content or fixes a bug within the game. With the PS3 version, you can delete the patch for Dragon Age. However, with the Xbox 360 version, you cannot delete the patch without deleting the information for all of your other games, as well. You must remove all associated files to "Dragon Age: Origins" on the PS3 to successfully remove the patch.
