So what's the deal with Fallout 3 only having downloadable content for the Xbox360.

Are we PS3 owners screwed?

i dissagree Fallout 3 looks emmence its going to be up with the great games of this year ( along with LBP and ..... other things) but i do agree that Downloads are usually a waste of money and its not going to stop me gettig it as its going to take years o complete any way without DLC.

I personally hate downloadable content. Most of the time it's either pointless or they're just trying to squeeze you for an extra buck or two for something that easily could have already been in the game. It's highway robbery, IMO.

True on the most part. BethSoft really are an exception though ...

they said the DLC will be along the lines of what "Knights of the nine" was to oblivion ...

no point thinking about it though ... we don't get it :(

I do have to agree with you on that. Oblivion had some really good DLC, but when Bioshock came out and then like a week later they added all those plasmids to Xbox Llive, that just pissed me off. There was no reason for that, other than greed or someone missing a deadline, and if that's the case, why take it out on us?

I agree, particularly Shivering Isles. Regrettably, if Oblivion's any indication, we probably WILL get screwed on DLC. Hopefully this isn't the case... it might be like Oblivion where we'll get some of it with a GOTY Edition, but that sucks too because it screws early adopters (if I can use that term to apply to games... I guess I can because I just did).

But if Oblivion's any indication, we don't really need the DLC anyway because it'll already be a long and enjoyable experience on its own.

The leads in my reasoning: I haven't even gotten anywhere near finishing Oblivion without any of its DLC. If I get Fallout3, I dodn't think I'm going to miss any DLC. Even if I actually finish it, I'll probably want to move on by that era.

I heard that the DLC for Fallout 3 was really good. But MS paid for it, so it isn't going to PS3.

Was Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles really DLC?

I thought you get DLC from PSN or Xbox Live, I also thought KotN and SI were expansions not DLC.

Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine were more of expansion than DLC.

and PS3 got them too.

The actually DLC that is limited to 360 includes stuff like horse armor.... and PS3 owners haven't missed out on much.

I'm guessing Fallout3 is not much different.

Chances are this is just marketing ploy from Microsoft.

Note that this is downloadable content, not expansion.

If two companies made the deals saying DLC is exclusive to MS, then Beth can just say we are releasing this on PS3 because this is not DLC but an expansion.

It's all just difference of wording, but DLC and expansion has difference. Horse armor stuff was DLC, but Nights of the Nine and Shivering Isles were expansions.

BethSoft has said The DLC for fallout 3 will be the equivalent of "Knights of the nine"

so we are missing out... it won't be like freaking horse armor

if you got a PC all expansions are DLC :(

What are you talking about regarding Bioshock? It wasn't a week later... more like three months. Also, the update and additional plasmids they added were given to players absolutely free. Not a single cent charged for any of it.

Back to the topic at hand, yea it kind of sucks that Microsoft straight up paid for Fallout's DLC; but Fallout 3 is giong to be fairly massive game as it is and will occupy most everyone for quite awhile.

[/QOUTE]I'll get the 360 game then. Why buy it on here, if the 360 has more content and runs better. IDK. My ps3 is for exclusives like LBP, which is amazing (beta). I cannot wait for that. And others like kz2 r2 gow3 etc

personally I think sony should reject and not let a dev put a game on ps3 if the are going to suck microsoft's balls by makeing content for only microsoft, even if it is timed exclusive. If they do that devs would stop makeing dlc for only microsoft cause no matter how much money microsoft pays them or they make from dlc , they would miss out on millions from ps3 players.

Fallout 3 is great. I have it on the PS3 and Im really enjoying it. Anyway bethesda announced this week that the DLC will included more quests and content and will also expand the main plot... So to me it sounds like an expansion more then regular (get more guns) DLC. Well i wonder if will ever see that content on the OS because microsoft paid bethesda 50 million dollars (!!!!) fot it... Or was that Rockstar?!?

Microsoft payed them is the most likely reason. But I doubt that most people will finish the game, so I doubt DLC will make a difference in such a long game.

The 360 version and PC will have DLC. Of course, with how 360 embraces additional gamerscore and achievements with certain download packs, it's more for the hardcore fanatics of the game. Right now, Microsoft's got money to spend.Grandstream
All these trophys and stuff are just important to "real" gamers, the casual gamer probably doesn't care too much about them. It's true, tho, that Microsoft is doing a better job getting licenses/exclusives. BTW: You have one of the best avatars I've ever seen. Nice job!

JUST horse armor? Have you even played any of the add-ons for Oblivion? Frostcrag Spire? Not to mention the other "homes" you can get for pretty cheap? Horse Armor is the only weak add-on, but even that was a little over a dollar.

On a side note, who keeps bringing up crusty old topics!?

I can't find it pyro .. all I know is that it's going to be like Knights of the Nine .. which WASN'T very impressive .. maybe a couple more hours of gameplay .. not worth it ..
