Zombie Island of Dr. Ned

Besides, from what I've seen, DLC has really been used for consoles...seeing as how you can't really make an expansion pack for a console game.

Instead they just go the Bethesda route an release a GotY version with it bundled, like the old Blizzard Warchests. Then there's the Platinum Games on 360, which may or may not have DLC in them, which makes everything confusing as hell.

I really don't see why bethesda didn't just release a hard copy of all their DLC for PC. They did it with Oblivion. Having not bought any FO3 DLC I'd gladly buy it all in a pack on a disk.

They did, at least they have it up on Amazon(Link [http://www.amazon.com/Fallout-3-Game-Year-Pc/dp/B002BXKJA0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1259043785&sr=8-4]), the best thing is that it's cheaper than buying the DLC separate. I'm with you on Fallout 3, and most other Bethesda games, buy when it goes GotY.

Though that comes with the original game as well. I was hoping for JUST the DLC. Though I guess it really isn't worth worrying about really, since as you say it's cheaper than if you bought all the DLC alone.

I'm done with borderlands personally lol.
The lack of randomized levels and unvaried scenery REALLY hampers replayability IMO. I don't feel like shelling out $10 for what I'm sure is some crappy add-on. I don't get why DLC is so popular? Why are people just DYING to shell out money to gaming companies for 1-3 hours of more content?

The new content looks really cool and different from the rest of Pandora. And it should be like 5+ hours. And MW2 was 60 bucks for a SP campaign that was 60. Granted it had MP but still...

In Canada games have always been 60 bucks. I guess now that the US dollar went on par with ours companies decided to up the price. The prices here did not go up.

What province are you in? I have been shelling out 69.99 for bare bone editions for close to a year. And that is not just in one store. HMV, Zellers, Wal Mart and EB/GS.

Really? I buy most of my games at Future Shop since I hate EB and there's a futureshop right next to it. I'm in Southern Ontario.

Here's a three links to all 3 versions of MW2 just to show you

Son of a *****. There isn't a future stop in my area (and I don't shop online). Closest I have is a best buy and there selection sucks. Everywhere else sells them for 69. Even Blockbuster. And I'm in Ontario as well. WTF is that shit? I thought everyone was payin 70.

I love Borderlands to death, but they're not getting a dime out of me until they patch up all the bugs that've been plaguing the Xbox 360 version since launch. I was one of the unlucky few to end up saddled with a pristine copy that, for some reason, skips and stutters on occasion like a badly scratched and dirtied PSOne disk.

It doesn't keep me from playing, but it needs to be fixed before I'll even think about dropping money on additional content.

Oh! That's what you mean. They do have the $30 two DLC packs, but they only have two and are pretty over priced when compared to the DLC. If you've got it for the 360, I've seen the Broken Steel one for $5, which was pretty funny.

Futureshop sometimes makes pricing errors too. I bought the new prince of persia for $30 on PC there when it released. A few weeks later I went back with my friend and found they "fixed" the price and it was $50 (same as consoles). Another time I bought a USB 360 controller and it came to $22 dollars somehow, when it was listed at around $50.
