As previously reported, Xbox 360 owners will be exclusively getting the new Fallout: New Vegas DLC titled ‘Dead Money’.
The DLC sees you play as “the victim of a raw deal”, and you must work alongside three other captured wastelanders to recover the legendary treasure of the Sierra Madre Casino.
Dead Money will be heading to LIVE on December 21st costing 800 MS points.

Will this DLC use the character players use to play through the core game?
solidsteven
Should do as all of F3’s dlc allowed you to unless it is set in the past.

Evil MS….

More like stupid Bethesda!

Meh, you can’t blame them for taking the money that was probably thrown at them until they said yes.
SpikeyMikey23
lots of money!
Pesico
This better just be timed exclusive.
Skullo Crasher!!!
Seriously. I can’t believe they pulled this exclusive DLC crap again. :/
Teabags
Due to what happened with Fallout 3, it’s safe to assume so.
Grey_Ghost13
yep, one reason why I won’t bother to buy it yet, just wait for the innevatable GOTY edition (even though it doesn’t deserve it) with all the DLC bundled in, and hopefully fully patched up.
Grey_Ghost13
Or wait over a year and it will probably be free on PSN+!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU….
I’ve had it with these exculsive DLCs. It splits the userbase in half and causes the fanboys to be even more annoying. it would be nice if the PS3 got it as well. oh well i will get the GOTY edition. I think it might be a zombie themed DLC. MS didn’t even wait for Fallout New Vegas to be released before buying the exculsive rights to its. sorry if this sounded a bit fanboyish.

Didnt Sony announced timed-exclusive DLC for Medal of Honor at E3? i mean, they all do it.
Im also sick of it, although ill be playing this on PC or 360, i learned the lesson from Fallout 3!
Tuffcub
About as exclusive as Katie Price’s ladygarden.
skibadee
LOL

PS3 will get it eventually, theres a “Downloadable Content” option in the menu as Fallout 3 GOTY had.
fatefellshort
If you pre-ordered, then your ‘bonus’ appeared here (such as the Caravan Pack or the Classic Pack, for example). No doubt though, that the PS3 will get it.

Unfortunately this is not quite right – All the packs are simply downloaded from the store (i know as i had the classic pack code with my purchase even though i didn’t pre-order). What the Downloadable Content option may do at the moment is simply take you to the store so that you can enter your code. Once the DLC is released (which i have no doubt that it will), it should appear in the DLC section.

not surprised 1 bit bethesda are just being dam right greedy im betting $100m they accepted or more
FoxHoundGabe
Wouldnt you?
squashme
would i what ?
I would never accept money just to make my game exclusive to 1 console id rather support my game patch bugs glitches and problems and make my customers happy not shit in my customers mouths and say fuck off to any kind of patch to fix bugs
Forrest_01
The point is that if someone offered you timed exclusivity (which i have no doubt that it is) for $100m, you would take it, as you effectively get the money for the exclusivity, the money for the downloads on the first platform & then later down the line your revenue stream is continued by further sales on the other platform. It is a business after all & this model would sound attractive to any business that is interested in making money.
squashme
i still wouldnt take it i wouldnt wanna split my user base my customers would always come 1st not some printed notes thats gonna my userbase and make customers pissed off like bethesda always does your customers and your userbase are always more important
Forrest_01
I get your point & it is indeed an honourable one (kudos to you – you would own a very nice company), but most businesses know that most people would buy it anyway, no matter how much they moan & gripe about it being exclusive. In this respect, many companies would choose the 3 separated revenue streams, rather than the singular one from all platforms at one time.

To buggy right now for dlc
squashme
yea but wont be admitting its got bugs let alone patching the game just like fallout 3 thats why i havent bought it
ruinereraser
Exclusive till PS3 GOTY edition ;) I don’t mind, since this is a single player game, I’m ok with picking this up in a year time, along with all DLC and few patches ;)
gernboes
ill wait for the GOTY edition anyway, no way im buying it buggy as it is right now…
squashme
well the GTOY edition wont be any better every1 thought fallout 3 GTOY would be patched and bug free but it isnt well almost bug free
Charmed_Fanatic
thats what i do now, wait for the GOTY editions of stuff
