    I'm grabbing the GOTY for PC. My 360 red-ringed on me last week so I'm going to put Brutal Legend on hold for awhile. I've held off on buying Fallout 3 for so long and now it'll definitely be worth the wait!  Anyone else grabbing the GOTY-edtion?

    How much is it? Does it include all of the DLC? If it does, I might pick it up. Never played the DLC.

    I would, it's a pretty good deal.  I already bought all of the DLC though.

    $60.00 (USD).  Yes, it does include all of the DLC.  I was thinking about picking it up because I never felt like buying all of the DLC, but now I'm not really in a Fallout 3 mood.  Which is kind of a shame.

    Yeah I'm getting it. Passed on Fallout 3 when it first came out, but started wanting to get it when all of the DLC started being released. At that point I just told myself I would wait until a GOTY edition came out. I'm pretty excited to play it.

    Hell yes I'm getting it! Played a pirated copy of the game earlier this year and loved it, so I stopped playing that and waited for the GOTY version to come out. I hope my save files work with the game.

    I sure am. I had been waiting for a price drop before buying Fallout 3, but then found out about the GOTY edition and have set my sights on it. I only rented Fallout 3, but I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately I ran into a glitch that was jacking everything up, so it looks like all my hard work will be lost and I'll have to start over completely.

    I want to, but I've realized there are a couple of other games I would rather buy first.  I'll probably wait a few weeks before I grab the GOTY for this...but I'm excited nonetheless!

    If I didn't already own the game, that would be an affirmative.

    I already own the game and all the DLC (bot 360 and PC versions) so I'd be pretty much a waste of money for me. Though it kinda makes me wish I would have held off on buying the PC version.

    Doesn't it just piss you off that you spent so much on the DLC that people who buy the GOTY edition basically get them for free?  
     
    Thats why I never buy DLC add on and just wait for GOTY edition or bundles.

    I'm waiting until it drops to $30 or less so that it's actually a bargain.  I already played the hell out of Fallout 3, so I'm really only interested in the DLC.

    I will definitely be getting this, but not for a couple of months.   Uncharted and MW2 come first.

    Nah, I'll probably just by the regular version used for my 360. It's cheaper.

    I had the 360 version and all the dlc of Fallout 3, but I decided to get the PC GOTY version so I can play Fallout on my laptop.  I've been having a problem though, I installed the first disc no problem.  But i can't get the second disc to run the installer.  Strangely, I have been able to run Fallout 3 with either Disc 1 or 2 in.  Any advice?  The install is a little under 6gb's, so I don't know if it installed the dlc already or not.

    Sadly, no. I enjoyed Fallout 3 a bunch last winter, but I'm moving on to the newer games this year. 
     
    Borderlands, Tekken 6, Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Ratchet & Clank, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, NSMB, and Uncharted 2. 
     
    My hands are pretty much full. :)

    I think I'll probably end up buying it. I bought the PS3 version when it first came out and never got around to buying the DLC when it was recently released, So I'll probably pick it up for my new PC.

    I was going to get it (though as with all GOTY editions for games you have the price diffrence is annoying, I payed £50 for the original but GOTY is £30 with 5 DLC's) but I picked up one of the DLC disks a few days before I heard of the GOTY edition and my wee brother got the other one so Ill probably just download Mothership Zeta.
