Operation Anger-Rage: Fallout: New Vegas DLC Goes Xbox 360-Exclusive
Our torrid love affair with Fallout 3 and its DLC is a matter of public record, so this is exactly the type of news we were never hoping to hear. Unfortunately, Bethesda appears to have taken our previous statement literally, so it's elected to hold off on any real details outside of a proverbial smack to PC gamers' hands every time they attempt to reach for some New Vegas DLC.
"We're excited to continue the partnership between Bethesda and Microsoft, and build on the success of the game add-ons released for Fallout 3 on Xbox LIVE," said Bethesda VP of marketing and PR Pete Hines. "Fans will once again be able to continue their experience in the Fallout universe with the add-on packs planned for after the launch of the game."
But what kind of content are we looking at here? And is this merely a period of timed exclusivity? Surely the DLC's not gonna pull a BioShock 2 and skip PCs altogether, right? Unfortunately, we shook Bethesda's magic eight ball and all we got was a non-committal “ask again later.” More details, however, are planned for “the coming weeks,” so here's hoping we get some good news sooner rather than later.

makes me not want to pay for their games anymore... Id still play em, just not pay for them.
I always pay for the games I love to show support for the devs so that they keep making great games. Saying stuff like no dlcs for pc, is pretty bad for people like us who paid for the games. I can understand saying xbox first and pcs later, but like this... sadface.

You people are over reacting. They released the DLC for Fallout 3 on the XBOX 1st as well, then for the PC later...
Think about is this way: The XBoxers will beta test the DLC for us PC people...lol

I was wondering if this might happen when New Vegas dropped Live from the PC version pretty late in the development cycle. The waiting period probably won't be more than a few weeks to a month, and considering I won't have to use Live to implement the DLC that is a very small price to pay. Anyways, besides Broken Steel, was any of the Fallout 3 DLC anything you couldn't live without?

I don't understand how a "partnership" between Microsoft and Bethesda means PCs don't get DLC. Last I checked, Windows was a Microsoft product. So it's either "Microsoft owns our ass" or "Pirates D:"

So long Bethesda and *sob* Fallout series.
I thought we were getting along so well. Oh well, plenty of fish in the sea, and someone will take your place. I'm just glad this came out before I committed myself again.
Thanks for saving me $50.

Their love affair with GFW Live is the reason I haven't bought a single DLC for Fallout 3. I wanted to, but I refuse to buy anything that is exclusively obtained through that travesty of a service, or that requires it's use in any way.
