It's what they did to me with Oblivion, much to my joy. Called Operation Anchorage, the new content is a computer simulation (yes a simulation within the simulation) that recreates one of the pivotal battles from the Fallout world: the liberation of Alaska from the Red Chinese Communists.
The new content has the same hidden humor and hard-hitting action as the rest of the Fallout 3 universe, but also several problems that will probably keep it from being quite as well received as the main game. But for $10 (which must be spent as 800 Microsoft points) it's a good value, especially if you have completed the game and are looking for a quick fix without having to play through the entire thing again from scratch."
Acclaimed add-ons for Bethesda classics Oblivion and Fallout 3 have become available at bargain bin prices on Xbox Live.
Dang, got excited there for a second. Then I realized that I've already played through all the FO3 add-ons, I just bought the Oblivion GOTY edition yesterday, and Dawnguard last week.
Bethesda announced today via the Bethblog that all Fallout 3 and New Vegas content packs would be going on sale for PS3 users from May 16 through May 30th. Both Fallout 3 and New Vegas add-ons will be discounted, unfortunately this deal is only for the European PlayStation Network.
I love these games but they do drive me insane, save often or you could lose a lot of hard work when it crashes and it always does.
Broken Steel is by far the most broken of the DLC when I'm in the main courtyard of the steel works the game almost stutters to a halt.
A good tip, if your game starts to slow bring up your pipboy for a few seconds and it seems to sort out the problem, works better in New Vegas.
Maybe I'm not disappointed that this isn't available in the US then. I haven't played any of the DLC yet but just assumed bugs would have been worked out by now. That's pretty sad if it is still broken.
Only had big problems with Broken Steel save and reload if you have issues.
I remembered Europe already had a discount on Fallout dlc shortly after ps plus started. I would've purchased all the dlc and get 100% of the trophies. Too bad.
