I have a question about DLC for the 360. I'm buying Fallout 3 this saturday I can't decide between 360 and ps3. I know the the 360 verison plays better and has better frame rate. My concern is if I buy DLC for the 360 version will my brother have access to the DLC as well or not? We both have 360 game tags and play of the same system. I don't want to be the only one that has access to DLC and not my brother. Can anyone shed light on this?

Definitely get the Xbox 360 version, plays much better and with much less glitches. (My copy on the PS3 keeps freezing on the DLC parts, leaving me no option but to power it off manually) It really dissapointed me too. As for wanting to play the DLC. Just buy the GOTY edition of the game, it comes with all the expansions on one disk. If you just download them separately, i'm pretty sure they will only be availiable for that one gamertag.

As far as I know, purchases are tied to your gamertag - not the console. So no, your brother wouldn't be able to play them. As the guy above me said though, just pick up the GOTY edition and you and your brother are good to go.

The DLC is available for anyone that is on the same console it was downloaded to, but if your brother goes and moves his GT to another console he won't be able to carry the DLC over to that one. Only the person who bought the DLC can do it.

So basically the DLC is tied to the GT of the person who bought it, but other people on the same console can use it. Hope that makes sense...
