Will be, but Microsoft has preferential treatment contract with Bethesda, so the first two DLC's will go to X-box first. We'll probably get it about a month later.

Its is a timed Exclusive.. which means PC and PS3 will get it about a month or so after 360

If you have PC there are plenty of mods that make the game last MUCH longer than it might do... some brilliant things have been done

It will be released a month after, but they don't have an exact release date yet for PC or PS3

Fix'd that for ya.

It's not preferential treatment if Microsoft bought the rights for a timed exclusive. I can understand PC/PS3 users feeling a little miffed about the deal, but blame your platform for not competing by trying to out-bid Microsoft. It's the platform's fault you are having to wait, not Bethesda's or Microsoft's fault for entering into a lucrative business deal.

True, I wasn't blaming Bethesda for this by the way, though Microsoft would have been nice if they would have allowed it for PC as well, after all that's basically their platform too. I kinda meant preferential treatment more as a deal wherein they agreed X-box would get to go first, I didn't mean to imply that Bethesda actually prefered MS for no good reason, cause they have a very good reason.

I understand, didn't want to make it seem like I was trashing on you.

And for PC releases & DLC, it would have been Valve cutting a deal as Steam is their baby. I play on both my laptop as well as my 360, and it'll feel weird to be playing it on my 360, but not have it available on my laptop for a month. lol

But I prefer my 360 anyways, and that's usually the platform I game on if I have a choice. I have it for PC for the graphics and mods for those times I'm feeling whimsical.

Can't really do that for PC, as there is no one to do that. And Microsoft doesn't extend the deal to PC because they want everyone to buy an XBox :shrug:
