[QUOTE="santoron"][QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"][QUOTE="santoron"] and yet there are about 9 oblivion dlc or so ps3 didn't receive any thing else the 360 and pc did.WilliamRLBaker
And your point is then.... what? That Bethesda, freshly woken from an erotic dream about Bill Gates, decided to only release several mini-dlcs to the 360 as some sort of "love letter" to the object their heart's desire? Well..................... maybe. :roll:
But, just for giggles, I'll offer an alternate hypothesis: Perhaps Bethesda, after seeing less than stellar sales of the aforementioned mini-dlcs on the 360, decided that the effort involved in porting and releasing them to another system wasn't worth the $1-2 they would get from each sale. Especially for a game that was a full year old when first making it to the PS3. Now which one sounds more rediculous to you?
In any case, I don't see how ANY of this precludes the Potential of the PS3 recieving Some DLC for Fallout 3 in the future. I'm not saying I'm guaranteeing it either. But since we've gone all OT into Oblivion DLC, I think it's clear that they have done so in the past.
we'll since obiviously you didn't read a single part of the thread after that post which is really just something people should do read an entire thread before they post in it so as not to post stuff thats all ready been said. But ill play you have no numbers or proof that mini dlc *minature my butt quite a few of the DLC mentioned are rather large thiefs den adds 8 new NPCs to the game and an new place for you to own, mehrunes razor offers an entirely new dungeon, wizards tower, fighters strong hold all add in brand new npcs and places to live they are bigger then quite a bit of DLC out there* but yeah again you have not a single damn number too back up your claim that the dlc sold badly for oblivion with the only truely bad DLC was the horse armor and even that got a good bit of sales. Next time read the entire thread. Well I can see you seem rather defensive, and perhaps a bit jittery so I'll go piece by piece here. First, I sure did read the rest of the thread before I posted. As a matter of fact I went back and tried do decipher what it was you felt I missed the first time around. I had to guess since you actually didn't mentioned what it was you thought I missed or reposted from earlier during that rather hectic run on sentence you started with. So you'll just have bear with me here. On to your "retort":
I'm well aware of the contents of the DLC that was available. Looked it all up on the Elder Scrolls Wiki, as party of my "shoddy" prep work before posting. I referred to them as "mini-DLC" because in comparison to the 2 significant DLC's they added far less content and cost far less money. Horse armor and random spell tomes were amazing, I'm sure, and a bit of me dies every night knowing that I'll never see them. But as $1-2 dollar downloads all of the non PS3 released content were much smaller in scope than the universally released Knights of the Nine & Shivering Isles, hence the term. By arguing the amount of work in each pack you further illustrate my hypothesis that it may have not seemed worth the $1-2 they were charging for these.... errrr... smaller(?) DLCs.
Second, of course I didn't provide numbers, since I made no "claim". If you would have, dare I say, read my post a little better you'd see I labled my conjecture a "hypothesis". It means a theory, if that was the stumbling block for you. In other words, I was making a guess as to why Bethesda has released DLC in the manner that they had in the past. Much in the same way that you hypothesized that Bethesda hold back DLC purely to foster a friendship with Microsoft. Seeing as you provided no proof to back that hypothesis I thought conjecture was appropriate at the time. But seeing as how you seemed more offended by the perceived slight to your beloved 360 (that the DLC might not have sold as well as Bethesda expected, in case you've gotten lost again) than the pertinent point (that there may have been more work involved than the DLC was worth), you failed to come back to the point of this entire thread which is.......
Are there future DLCs coming out for Fallout 3 and, if so, is there a chance for the PS3 to ever receive any form of DLC in the future? And my answer still stands as a definite maybe. And nothing you have said has shed any light on a factual, or even plausible, reason for them not to. In fact your arguments against any exclusivity agreement have removed the most plausible obstacle to that happening. Furthermore, your desire to use Oblivion as an example only demonstrates my point that Bethesda has shown the willingness to put out additional content to the PS3, when they are allowed to and believe there is cash to be made.
In closing, I'd like to recommend you read the entire thread before you post again. It's been mentioned to me before as a bang up way to remain focused and on topic, and maybe it's the time of night, but you aren't either in this post.
