I don't know why everyone is freaking out. The DLC is still coming to other platforms is it really that hard to wait? I would much rather DLC deals like this happen than fallout new vegas be exclusive to 1 platform. 

Lame. At least I'm finding this out now so I know not to buy the game.

Wow, fuck you Obsidian/Beth/Microsoft.  Fallout 3 wasn't that way with it's DLC.  :( 

I only just picked up Fallout 3 last month so I still need to finish that plus all of it's DLC before I even think about getting New Vegas. Hopefully by then it'll have made it on to the PC.

Well, at least they told people before the game came out, in case that influences what platform people choose to play it on.
 
I'm just so sick of DLC being practically required for major releases now, especially since most of it isn't a very good value.  If companies were going to do it anyway, I wish they'd limit themselves to just one or two decent ones rather than a whole slew of garbage - I would have been satisfied with just Gen. Knoxx for Borderlands, or just Broken Steel and Point Lookout for Fallout 3.  I haven't played any of the ME2 DLC, but I gather it's the same way with the Shadow Broker.  DLC that is announced at or before launch always sucks.

they lost a Sale from me with this news. I play on PS3 so now I will wait for the DLC's to come out on a GOTY, then wait to buy it second hand so Zenimax gets no money from me at all. The money they got from Microsoft is what they wanted - not PS3 or PC users so bugger them.

I'll play on the 360, and will still wait for the GOTY edition.    
 
I have enough games in my queue to put this off till next year, and I'll probably be able to buy it just like the last Fallout game....with every DLC included and all for about $50.

I'm getting it on PS3 regardless. Delaying DLC for other consoles is not going to entice me to buy it on your system Microsoft. Nice try.

Hate Bethesda, it's their game and their decision. "

You mean obsidian, bethesda just licensed out the oblivion engine on this one. "

Probably a better idea to announce this kind of stuff earlier on. 

This makes me sad.

man i have no money for that game. my brother is gonna pick up his copy tonight. arrrg.

Is anyone really surprised by this?

Costume Quest

" Wow, fuck you Obsidian/Beth/Microsoft.  Fallout 3 wasn't that way with it's DLC.  :(  "

I sure hope the shooter aspect is actually fun this time.  Got really boring to have to use vats for everything.

Still going with PC. 
 
Framerate and proper HD resolution > DLC early. In the long run the PC will be the best version. 

I wish Obsidian had given the same kind of love & enthusiasm
to Alpha Protocol.

If this is a matter of just waiting, well, that doesn't bother me, really. That is, if it is a reasonable wait. But I've been thinking, and though it will mean absolutely Zip Di Dodah to MicroSoft by itself, I think I know my own response to the matter. 
 
I have both an X-box 360 and a PS3.

Costume Quest

comes out on the 20th on these 2 platforms. I'm going to buy it for the PS3. I'm going to do this deliberately because of this arrogant sounding move that I strongly suspect must originate from MS. I would not have gone this route..but hey, this is the only way I know to vote , and it's with my money. Moreover, If Ithis proves as cynical as it sounds, I will hit this theme in forums every legitimate chance I get. 
 
Remember fellow gamers, It's best for us when we can even the field, it gives us better choices. Always.  I'll support the PS3 more now than ever, this has woken me up. "

I'm not worried because the PC version gets fan mods.

I will not buy DLC if the game isn't fixed. You hearing me Bethesda and Obsidian (no)? 
 
This is reality.

Will this help fund for a creation of a NEW ENGINE?

" I still take mods over early DLC. "

what if you pre-ordered this for another console or PC? are you screwed because of it or would they let you choose the platform you wanted due to this announcement. seems a lame thing to announce it after the game is released.

Hey that's awesome that pistol at 2:40 looks a lot like rick deckerd' gun from Blade Runner. check it out.

" Is anyone really surprised by this? "

I play all the multiplatform single player games on my PS3 so while this sucks I'll just do the same thing I did with Fallout 3 and wait for the GOTY edition which is good because I'm actually more excited to play Fable 3. So many games, so little money.

Total bullshit. I'm so fucking tired of this dlc bullshit.

I'm getting it for the 360, suckers.

Kind of a useless exclusive.  The PS3 FO3 had more problems than the 360 version, especially the DLC.  So people with both consoles are probably picking the 360 version anyway and not many people will be dumb enough to switch from Steam to 360 for this.
 
Who is it for?  It just hurts PC and PS3 players and doesn't really help anyone.

With a game like Fallout, who really needs DLC anytime soon?  Plenty of game here as far as I can tell.  Now if this DLC ends up raising the level cap and continuing the story another 10 hours that is something, but I seriously doubt it.

wrong even fields do not give us better choices.   One company surpassing another and making the field uneven is what spurs the other company to surpass the other and make it uneven for their side, always even is the same problem as the status que...nothing changes "

Good work, Bethesda, alienate 60% of your target audience. Great stuff!

Wish I can say I'm surprised but this deal probably worked out pretty well for them with Fallout 3. It probably paid for the development costs just with the agreement alone.

It helps Microsoft. "

hopefully its better then mothership zeta...

Quicker than I thought.

Dear Fallout: New Vegas. By releasing all this DLC & releasing your game with a bunch of bugs, you're not making me want to buy it anytime soon. Play it on the other hand? Oh yeah.

Good thing I have a 360!

Reprehensible.  The Fallout series was born on PC, and those of us that play it there should not be punished by DLC that is for xbox only.  I own an xbox 360, but I prefer to play rpg's on my pc, due to the ease of mouse and keyboard control as well as the potential for game-changing mods. 

Wait, I thought New Vegas was DLC...
