Fallout 3 GOTY date still non-committal News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Bethesda has told Eurogamer there is still no specific date for Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, which supposedly arrives here next month on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
Inside are all five DLC add-ons plus the original game, and all for the price of a regular retail release.
That's galling to any who splashed out 800 Microsoft Points (£6.80/€9.60) on each of the five additions as they became available on Xbox 360 and PC, particularly as most were riddled with bugs.
To ease that pain, Bethesda announced today that a free Premium XBL theme will be given to those with a full compliment of downloadable content. On its own, the theme costs 240 MSP (£2/€2.90). The theme goes live on 1st October.
Meanwhile, PS3 owners still await their first piece of Fallout 3 DLC, after testing delays pushed the content to September. And that add-on will be Broken Steel rather than Operation: Anchorage, as content-wise that makes more sense.

Does anyone on the inside know when we can expect PS3 version of DLC to start trickling through? Is it still on track for September?

Oh fucking thanks. I didn't buy the last DLC because it didn't fit in the world of Fallout - and despite owning all the others I get zilch.

Don't worry, PS3 owners. Each and every one of these DLC titles had technical issues when they were released on 360.
Pretty shabby workmanship from Bethesda methinks! (and I like Fallout 3) |

Yeah, a free theme, that will make it feel any better. You can pick up hardcopy (disc) bundles of the DLC for as little as 14 euro over at thehut.com! Not only do you actually own the content, it's cheaper as well.
Even better still, if you have a Lovefilm account, you can rent the DLC discs, install the content on your hard drive and then send them back again. Okay, that doesn't get you MZ, but it's still cheaper than buying each piece individually. |

"...a full compliment of downloadable content."
I think you mean "complement". |

@EarlBassett:
Hang on, by not buying one of the expansions doesn't that save you like six pounds? Versus a £2.40 theme that's not quite so bad surely? I've been holding out for the re-release as it looks like it'll be less than all the expansions. Sadly this means my progress has also slowed, as I'd quite like to get that level cap increase into play before I hit twenty. Currently I'm at fourteen, so it's probably not so far off. Guess I'll have to stretch it out a bit longer.

Sure, I'll take a premium Fallout theme.
I feel like I'm completely finished with Fallout 3 now though. All 1550 achievement points done, got all the special weapons and loot, done all the quests, everything. Then again, final playtime came down to just under 230 hours, so I guess I've had my fill. Now let us know what Fallout: Vegas is all about. |

Fingers crossed |

I didn't buy the content, because I knew it would be coming on disc eventually and I was happy enough to wait.
Not sure why those who downloaded it right away are complaining though. You bought it when it was released, and paid full price for it. No different than buying, say Halo 3 and then seeing it on sale for £20 at the end of the year. |

A free theme, oh great, well it'd better be a damn good one. What's more galling is that although I've downloaded all the DLC, I've still not got around to playing them yet, doh!
Taking their sweet time with the PS3 versions though aren't they, whats the hold up? |

I suspect this will be delayed... I sold my original PS3 copy earlier in the year and am waiting patiently for this. But considering they havent released any of the 5 on DLC yet, I dont have hope for the October date. I wouldnt be surprised if this slips to November at the earliest or...scared to say January :|

Or: 'not enough people bought Zeta because it was shit'.
Does anyone care about themes any more? NXE makes it pretty hard to see much of the background unless you scroll entirely to the right so there's only one thing onscreen. |

I just finished my last mission tonight after 116 hours play. It was a good few weeks, but I feel a little burnt out! Only got the Broken Steel DLC for the level cap (boo-urns!), the rest didn't interest me, but I can understand why people want to wait for the GOTY edition.
Now, I need a a few short games! No more RPGs for a while methinks! |

I don't know about anyone else but I'm still going through Eldar Scrolls on PC must have cranked up about 200 hours on that game and still not done when games are this big who needs dlc at the end of the day a 100 hr game for 40 squid is still good value especially when you have twats who give you 3 hour campaigns and justify their price tag with multiplayer I'm looking at you gears of war (not 2) halo 3 (yet not original or 2 hmm interesting) and COD. Vote with you feet people don't buy shoddy dlc just because you loved the original I for one would love FEAR2 only because I loved the first one but I know like everyone else it's just not worth my cash
