"Summary
October 18, 2010 - Bethesda has announced that it's to bring the first batch of Fallout: New Vegas downloadable content exclusively to Xbox Live."

So first of all. Why is Bethesda making the dlc; did Obsidian really screw this one up too? Second, I thought these companies gave up on the ?exclusive? dlc in favor of exclusive titles.

And third, why are they telling us now; a day before launch? I would imagine that the people who would care and had to make a decision on a platform already pre-ordered.

But finally I'm curious if anyone even gives a crap anymore?

Microsoft has a lot of money.

What did we really think they did with it? There is only so many ivory back-scratchers you can buy.

I am getting the 360 version and so I am happy that I can get it.

I think it's a dickish move though to be honest. It's not like anyone with the PS3 version is going to jump up and suddenly buy a 360 for it so I don't see why they'd do it, especially at short notice.

I am more annoyed that those in the US get it tomorrow whereas Europe gets it Friday. The reason being that my days off of work are Wednesday and Thursday, so tomorrow is basically my "Friday".

I'm waiting for the inevitable GOTY edition with ALL DLC on it.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

It's a dick move but I'm a 360 player so I guess I'm glad it's on my platform.

The PS3 guys will get it eventually, just sucks that it will take so long.

The Eurogamer [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-10-18-ps3-denied-fallout-nv-dlc-for-now] article suggests it's a timed exclusive, like the Fallout 3 DLCs (apparently).

 

[CobraX]

Anyone who expected anything different was deluisinal.

 

[Irridium]

S'alright by my book.

This way instead of both the PC and 360 getting screwed by broken DLC, its just the 360. While the rest of us will get the non-broken versions after they fix everything.

Plus I have mods, so yeah.

 

[Kenko]

Anyone know if the DLC will be made available through steam for the PC version or?

 

[linwolf]

I consider all DLC to be bullshit, have never seen a DLC that I was willing to shell out the money for.

 

[Valksy]

I'm waiting for the inevitable GOTY edition with ALL DLC on it.

This. I'm not in a hurry, game isn't going anywhere.

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

bah....im not going to get it.....if i do i will wait until the GOTY edition is out...im patient.

 

[Yureina]

That pisses me off because I'm a PC gamer. But... at the same time, those xbox people can do as they wish, because I have user-made content to add to my game that they don't. ^_^

 

[Nmil-ek]

Pff DLC enjoy your Amateur hour stuff give us a week with the toolkit and 3DS Max the bethesda guys will be put to shame.

 

[Smooth Operator]

As far as I know MS dictates howmuch DLC hasto come with the game (because they want their money share), so the companies are practically forced into this.
And I'm predicting the first DLC will be some unneeded bullshit.

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

I'm pretty fucking annoyed as well, but I'm still getting it on PS3. Since I'm certainly going to buy it again when the GOTY version comes out, I can wait. I'm sure this'll just be a timed exclusive, so it'll come out on PS3 eventually.

Still though, one day before release? That's a bunch of crap.

 

[Brazilianpeanutwar]

I don't have xbox live,so i'll save my money until a game of the year edition comes out.

(which i should have done with fallout 3 but i didn't know about game of the year editions back then,durr!)
