Fallout 3 add-ons bundled for retail News
PC Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
A source close to Bethesda has told Eurogamer that Fallout 3 add-ons Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt will be bundled together and sold at retail.
Our top secret source couldn't confirm a date or price for the PC and 360 packs, but Amazon reckons 29th May for GBP 14.99.
Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt are both already available to download for 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) each, which makes the retail package a little pricier. But then there's packaging to think of, and the pretty picture on the front and what about the manual labour.
Operation: Anchorage takes players through a military simulation program that occurs before the nuclear apocalypse that dominates Fallout 3. A bit naff, thought we.
The Pitt, on the other hand, opens Pittsburgh for exploration and has players making tricky allegiance decisions as they choose who to fight for. This we liked.
Incidentally, our source didn't say whether Broken Steel - the third lump of DLC - would be offered at retail. We can't imagine it won't.

Surely Broken Steel will be included. I've avoided the DLC so far but will buy all 3 if it's around 15quid!

£15 quid doesn't suggest Broken Steel would be included, but then I'd prefer to buy Anchorage and The Pitt like this, then sell them once I'm done. Will be cheaper in the long run. That Broken Steel isn't standalone makes it more worth holding on to. Still, there should be a Fallout 3+ all three DLCs bundle. Maybe they're saving that for when there's even more DLC...

Might be worth waiting for a 'game of the year' edition which will have everything

@thesombrerokid - How will they get around it? They'll surely be on disc.

"that kinda defeats the purpose of DLC though doesn't it? The whole point of digital distribution is to have less overheads and stuff..."
Depends on how you look at it. Given the current buying tendencies of gamers, a mixed channel strategy apparently is beneficial. And if the DLC is developed already, additional cost for the retail version is basically the cost of the disc, case and manual. If they manage to sell it for more than that cost, they make additional profit. |

Akin to your Fallout 3 review, then? Anyone who gets paid to review games and reckons Fallout 3 is 10/10 deserves an immediate anal rape from John Prescott. |
